Local Estate Auction 1935 Roadster Sells for $53,925.00

[Blindhuckster]

I went and previewed this car a couple weeks ago. History of car was that this 35 Roadster was wrecked shortly after it was purchased new. Owner didn't want a wrecked car. This guys Grandfather (who owned a body shop) bought the car and it sat in his shop for 6 years until his oldest son was in high school. When he was old enough to drive, they pieced it back together, and he and his sisters drove the car to school for several years. They liked the 36 frontend better than the 35 so it changed when the car was frame off restored in the 80's. Car was driven very little after that, and it showed. The restoration was done very well. This was a nice car that needed tires and a good cleaning. There was some looseness in the lower hinge on the drivers door and a few paint defects. I was truly amazed at the selling price. Car was recently appraised at $35,000.00. A couple guys must have really wanted this car.
