1930 Sport Coupe at auction
http://www.kikoauctions.com/?nav=auctions&details=8227.
A friend sent me this and said he would like to attend the auction to bid on his next hot rod project. That means I'll have to go to the auction to rescue this Model A. It looks solid and complete. What do you all think it' worth?

Re: 1930 Sport Coupe at auction
WOW, That's a solid car. Don't think it would take much to have it on the road again.
I don't want to put a price on it. (with the exchange on the Canadian dollar) It is hard for me to judge a proper value. I like that Suzuki Bergman. Good Luck at the auction. Jeff

Re: 1930 Sport Coupe at auction
Wash it, get running, and than drive it?
Do you have anymore info on car. Looks too complete to hot rod. Enjoy. |

Re: 1930 Sport Coupe at auction
As it is a cabriolet, it has a small premium over some other models. I would still say, that in the condition I see and the unknowns, I would value it at $4-8,000.

Re: 1930 Sport Coupe at auction
I don't need another car, but people rescue dogs no matter how many they have, right? It does look solid enough with a little cleaning it could be on the road.

Re: 1930 Sport Coupe at auction
For MANY years, I didn't know CABRIOLETS existed, nor Convertible Sedans!!!
I'm very happy with PLAIN Old Tudors & Coupes. I'm even Happy with NO Car, now, It was a "GOOD" ride for a LOOOONG time. Bill W. & Dog

Re: 1930 Sport Coupe at auction
I like hot rods but I agree this car looks too nice to be made into one. Can't always tell from pix but it looks to have had some restoration. The top, interior, and engine are dirty but still look too good to be original unless the car is really low miles. Can't tell if the body is rusty or just dirty. Sport Coupes aren't all that rare but they are classy looking. Just be sure the unique top parts are there.
FWIW, NADA shows retail of $11,650 to $28,700 depending on condition. Never can tell about an auction - may go higher or lower. If I was in the market, I'd probably go up to $10,000 if the car runs, drives, and exterior/interior are in decent shape. That's if I was going to keep it - $2,000 to $3,000 less if I was going to flip it. Last edited by CHuDWah; 12-11-2017 at 02:38 PM. |

Re: 1930 Sport Coupe at auction
I saw a nice 31 4 door that just needed a new interior go for $4800 near me. Auctions are weird - you never know who is gonna show up so you may get lucky and just get a buncha looky lous or hot rodders with no money show up. Although i have seen a basket case of a 29 pickup go for $2100 that same day that might have had $1200 worth of decent parts - go figure. I ended up with some odds and ends and a table full of model A stuff for $12 WITH the table!
Id say with the others $5-8k is a safe bet. Even washed up and got running (granted it wasnt parked for engine issues and mice havent made a nest in it) its an easy 9K+ car so even if you have to put an unknown used engine in it theres money to be made at 8K If the engine turns out to be junk the rest of it looks nice enough you can easily get your money back.

Re: 1930 Sport Coupe at auction

Re: 1930 Sport Coupe at auction
This 30 sport coupe could sell for a stupid amount of money, or not. Hard to say. This spring watched a 29 cabriolet sell on a local auction for $6400. Old restoration, but the car was severely vandalized. Someone had stolen the doors, hood, front fenders, front bumper, radiator. Why? Don't know, but where do you find cabriolet doors? I thought $6400 was crazy high for about 2/3 of a cabriolet. Compared to the cabriolet, this intact, solid sport coupe is gonna look real good to bidders.

Re: 1930 Sport Coupe at auction
A fella in our club has a very, very nicely restored 1930 Sport Coupe for sale for $14,500. You could put $10,000 into that auction car and still not be where this member's car is, quality and finish-wise. There are still lots of Model A's out there; you can't save them all (unless you're rich). The hot rodder may not win it. I'd walk away from the auction car.
But let us know what happens!
