Thread: advice on value of project car

Tweet

A little late to the party here due to being homeless for about a week, but I'm in the same ballpark with iceburgh. I've seen about 4 coupes similar to what you've described go for around $20k in the past year. Roadsters seem to go for slightly less though that could be more regional depending on weather considerations.

One big "negative" since in your last post you mentioned resale.............Heritage doesn't have much of a reputation for quality, better than Street Beast, but only a little, so if that's a concern factor accordingly. As for the stick thing, in today's environ it's somewhat of a plus as sticks have had a resurgence with the greater emphasis on "nostalgia" in rod construction. That being said, Deuce is right about foot room, not an impossible deal, just pretty darn tight in there. With some judicious planning and fabrication/component placement you can improve things somewhat. Below is a pic of the last Deuce I did (although the new owner is responsible for the upholstery and radio head) where the goal was to leave the floor as clear as possible for better room in a small cabin. The e-brake handle appears lower than it really is, and it is tucked pretty close to the side wall. There's room for a clutch pedal and shoes if you're not a D or wider.
