Default Re: 1937 Ford Coupe Barn Find What is Value

If one has to pay for all the work done on any old vehicle, it will NEVER be worth what you put into it unless it is some ultra rare desirable vehicle. In my area the cost of the best paint (no body work, just prime/sand/final color) is in the 30k range, I know of 3 cars that were painted by this guy and all were in the 30k range. And yes, they are perfect. One car is a 32 3w that is owned by Lloyd Nordstrom of the Nordstrom family that has a clothing business, so the deep pocket people can pay for perfect.

I learned how to do bodywork and paint because I couldn't afford to pay someone else to do it. Have been painting cars since the early 70s and still am learning new tricks.
