Older Brass Round Tube Radiator

Post by bdtutton » Tue Apr 04, 2023 2:27 pm

I have a brass round tube radiator that was taken out of my 14 Touring when it was restored. Not sure if it was original to the car or exactly how old it is. It has a few issues, but could probably be cleaned out and fixed up a little and be useful for someone. Just wondering if it has any value to anyone fixing up a car or should I go to an antique shop and let them sell it as a wall ornament to a yuppy that thinks the brass looks cool?

Let me know what you think...

As always a couple of pics would help sell it. Plus, can you do a water evacuation test? A good radiator dumps water in 4 seconds. Much beyond 6 seconds and you basically got one that's pretty well plugged up. And then of course are there any leaks. That said, it still may be worth around $300 which is far more than an antique shop will give you.
