I need to move the '38 Chevy coupe that came with my house. As much as I'd love to build it, there is no way I'll have time any time soon and I have several other projects I'd rather take on before this one. And I need to free up some shop space for my other project(s).
Before I just throw it on FB or CL and start dealing with the idiots, what are the go to places to sell classics? And where do I start to figure out the value of this thing? I've been told anywhere from a couple grand to upwards of $9k.
It's a '38 "Business Coupe". Has VIN tags and title/paper trail dating back to the mid-80's.
The PO had it acid dipped. There's some cancer in the usual spots - front corner of hood, very bottom of fenders and rockers - but it's really not bad for the age. There's also a box of new body panels that I believe will take care of all or most of those parts. I believe all the glass, window frames and other little pieces are in there. Headlights are there. Only thing I haven't found is the grille - there was actually a grill that I thought went it, but it's for a Plymouth or something....probably worth more than the one for this thing!
The frame has been chopped and appears to have a later model front half on coils - thinking possibly from a mustang (need to take a closer look). Looks like a 10-bolt rear.
Also has a truck 348 "W" motor and 833 trans that I think he intended to put in it. (I think these are the less desirable versions of the 348 and 833).
So where's the best place to figure out a value of this thing and sell it?
