Allthough that body style would be the least desireable to a restorer/collector, the year is interesting. I believe '35 was the last year for real wire wheels, although they may not be safe on later style drums/rotors if there is rust or cracks. Then again a Fordor could be a good family street rod that is not so sacred as to avoid modifications. Again back to my old theme, the '35 also had a cloth roof as I recall which could be replaced by a green plastic insert for a neat sunroof. The dash gauges were also kind of neat if they are restoreable. I cut up a '40 Tudor with a V860 engine to try to mount a '40 convert body on the same frame and now I regret it because I found out the body work and costs at that stage of my life were too much. Still you could add a faux canvas top over the steel and a green plastic insert and do the usual modern driveline update and have a nostalgic
"family car". I would say offer the guy $200 if it has a title and bid up to $500 if you want it, but beyond that it would not have enough nostalgia for me to go above $500. If there is no title it is good only for parts in my book, but the wire wheels and dash should be worth something in Hemmings motor News.
