The Ford Barn

So I bought this car body 30 years ago and still do not have it finished. It seems like every time I sell parts the people always want to buy this body. I keep saying no but would like to know the the approx value of it is ? Most of the body work is done, new roof installed and all new glass. So what is just the body worth ? I have the running gear done and motor rebuilt and would like to finish this car in the next two or three years.

Sounds like it's almost done

For sure you should finish it and enjoy it.
Then if you sell, at least it would be worth much more than just a body by itself, or a pile of parts.

I guess I should tell you I have always had a model a driver and still do. The coupe reminds me of the first model a coupe that I purchased while in the military. I think the cost was about $500 back in the the 1960s. Boy I sure had a lot of fun in the car.

Probably true for a model A person but sadly most like twice that for a hot-rodder. I was offered more than $7000 for my rustless Tudor - body only, keep the rest of the junk. I have no regrets declining the offer.
