Early 29 Tudor and title question?

[mndodge]

I don't know if this is a fair question guys, but I brought home another project today and I'm not looking for an exact price, but I have an early 29 sedan body and good title (only) and wondering what is a fair price for buyer and seller?
I won't say it's a 10, but I don't believe its a 1 either, just looking for a realistic idea?
Maybe not a fair question?

mndodge, the more photos and the more information you give us the "fairer" the question becomes.

a thumbnail photo is a start.

Any other parts?

[mndodge]

Having a problem with pictures, but both doors have rust on bottoms, on spot on lower cowl, no glass, I have new wood kit that was included and with good Minnesota title and with all fenders and body....I have plans for the rest.

Maybe $1000 in the Portland area.

The Tudor is a very common car.

I would say based of what I've seen on ebay, 2500 - 3500.

What does a clear title go for in your neck of the woods?

About $200 for a Tudor title. A roadster or other models would go for more, but as you said, the Tudor is pretty common. Looking at the photo I see:
$400 for sheet metal, maybe
$100 for frame, maybe (running board indicates it might be bent)
$100 for radiator, maybe
$300 for drive train and engine, maybe
$20 for the tail light bracket

As you know, Mike, without opening up the engine and trans it might just be a bunch of heavy iron, or it could be a low mileage perfectly running car, so I could be off by a couple hundred, but this is what it looks like to me from the pix.

I don't see much else there. But it's not just the condition of what is there, but also what one would have to find -and do- to bring this one back.

So, you are keeping the drivetrain and selling a Tudor body and fenders. Is the title for a Tudor, or Sedan?

Fordor as Ford called the sedan with four doors, and Tudor as Ford called the body shown with two doors.

Mike was real close-2000.-2500. all day long

title is worth 400. all day long....

seems like a long day!

Looks restorable if all the parts are there.

Am I to understand from reading this, that the Title has value without the car?

The title says 1929 ford and also says "pk".....whatever that means?

On the black market, yes.

I know of no state where you can take an old title and use it on another car of the same make and model, but it is done every day.

pk is pickup-could have been bought separately

to answer Golden's question-why of course.... many would be glad to have one when it is "missing".
get's your ride on the road.

The guy that I bought it from, bought it from a guy that had it as a father son project and came from Kansas where it had sat in a garage for roughly 40 years and the son was 65 at the time of the sale a year or two back.....that is the story the seller told me, so with the parts that came with I'm sure they may have scrounged a tile for it some where over time and it would make sense why it says pk.....my guess?

[Mitch//pa]

you can get 5-600 for that title easily

That's interesting Mitch.....I always thought like you mentioned that if a guy buys an untitled A, he will spend a little on a title and I know they are floating around. I was at a swap meet a few weeks back talking to a guy with a running.......or "will run" chassis from a 29 Tudor and all that was left for body parts on it was a cowl, he said if I want the title the price is $500 more.
Then I talked with a guy this past weekend that had interest in new project I pulled home over the weekend and he wanted body and title and after talking price, he said he can get a good title for $99......so it's all over the board it seems??
I should of told him I'd take five titles lol, then I wouldn't have to look and be so concerned about the next ones that don't come with one!!!
Either that or..........model A titles that sell for $500 and can be bought for $99 are the new lottery tickets in a sense......hahaaaaa!
