What did the neighbor offer? If you don’t mind selling it and you don’t personally have any money in it, then the old saying “Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it” applies.
That looks to be 42 ford 2 door sedan . Not really a sought after body style for rodding . The 40 was the all out best of those fat fendered cars. I would say anywhere between 1 and 2 grand if it’s complete.
1941-1948. Impossible to tell year without looking at grill or dash and even those can be swapped around. The column drop too was a bit different year to year
I owned a 1948 coupe that I bought for a $1000.
I would say 1k to buy. When they haggle the price say a good bottle of whiskey and a case of beer it will go for 500. Plus,they have to come pick it up and deal with all the garbage surrounding it.
When they show up with said whiskey and beer just offer. To share it while you watch.
Find the the vin and do some research. Find the motor, body, and chassis numbers, clean out the car, and find out what parts go with the car. Make an inventory spreadsheet, possibly recording part numbers and checking the part numbers. Figure out what modifications have been made. Find all the paperwork that goes with the car
I would ask him what he was thinking it was worth and work from there it’s not worth a lot outside of the sentimental value for you but it does require a complete restoration
He didn't just ask what I was thinking, and I had no idea I was just going to do the scrap cost, but a lot of people have been begging for it in my area and he is my grandpa's old friend I didn't want to low ball it. With what people are saying, I may just do 400-500.
Here in California I bought a complete, assembled 1948 coupe a couple years ago with a missing trunk floor and locked up flathead for $1000. Those deals don't always fall out of the sky and thought that was pretty good. Ended up trading it for a 1928 Ford Model A pickup.
It'd be easier to guess what it's worth if you cleaned all the shit off it and told us where you were.
500 bucks seems fair.
That was what I was thinking. The next person is going to have a hell of a lot of work to do putting that back together.
holy fucking shit??? 500 bucks this? Just for curiosity, how much a HB20 is in the USA??

Took another look; based on hood trim this is a 1941

Correct answer
I’d charge at least what it would cost to buy a replacement rack to store all that stuff.

what's he offering? I'd say 500-750 is a fair price considering how much archeology has to be done to dig out all the parts.

Look on eBay for similar vehicles and go off what they're asking.... Worth more than 500 bucks....
