Hi Guys,
Need some help. I have located a 34 coupe that was imported from Argentina. Great shape but price is pretty healthy. Just need some insight from the great knowledge base and ask if by being non-North American, the car is of significantly less value? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Right hand drive or left hand drive?

Sorry. RHD

All things otherwise equal, the value is affected only by the fewer number of buyers for right hand cars. If you were to change over to left hand drive, the additional cost of the conversion would not pay for itself on resale, and may actually prove to be of a lesser value. Being that it's a '34 coupe you're talking about, all that I've written here isn't worth the time it took me to write it.

It was manufactured in the US as RHD, then shipped to Sth America, one of Fords largest markets then.
The supply of early Fords is now low & any are valuable ; be different , drive RHD & do not think about using a Chev engine.
