Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2009: Searching for Car Value
Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of page Link to this message  By Lee Marchbanks on Thursday, September 24, 2009 - 01:28 pm:

I am trying to research the value of three cars:

1924 Depot Hack – excellent condition
1924 Roadster- good condition but needs a valve job
1924 2 Door – original condition

I know this is not enough detail for a solid price, but I am looking for price ranges or a resource I can use to determine the value of these cars. Also any help on what specifics need to ask about to determine value would also be helpful.

Thank You

Google search "Manheim Gold"

oops. They must have removed the Manheim Gold guide of the internet, recently. Like within the last couple of weeks recent, because I just looked up some estimates a couple weeks ago. Anyone have anything better?

Lee,

You can purchase "The Old Car Price" put out by "Old Car Weekly". They're available at most news stands.

Condition means a lot as well as body type, original engine, wheels and tires. Price guides are just that and often do not reflect reality. Most "depot hacks" have reproduction bodies. Some have home made bodies and these can be very good and very poor. In my opinion, a very nice original or lightly "restored" would be desirable. There are lot of "depot hacks" around and while nice, start with an original T if you can. An original Tudor with good original upholstery are getting hard to find. Ask around. Pictures would be helpful.

You are right, the Gold Book has been done away with. NADA now has it.

Here is the replacement site.....but its rather poor, the Model T Fords now only go back to 1926 as the earliest ones with Used Prices.

Click on link, the scroll down to to select the auto, then select the year, and click on Price, and you get some benefit, but not as nice as the old Gold Book,

$12.000 Depot Hack
$9.000 Roadster
$6.800 2 door
Those are pretty close I think because of the economy. The guide books are asking prices. What you may get is another story.
My opinion.

Thank you everyone for all your helpful advice!

Why can't we take the NADA values for the 26 Fords and cut them in half for the 1913s since 13 is half of 26 and a much older car?
