Well, might have.

At the wrecking yard that my dad and I go to, theres a 1948 plymouth coupe sitting underneath a ripped tarp.

it looks mostly complete, minimal rust, all the seats are there, and comes with a fender that would just need to be put on. about half the trim is there, and theres a few dents. No windshield or door windows.

I talked to the guy who owns ot, he says its for sale. he wants $2,500 for it.


so, do you guys think its worth paying that much or not?


If not, what should I offer him?

Hard to tell. Post some pictures if you can, and it will be easier to offer an opinion. I would walk in with $ 1000 in hundred dollar bills, and see what happens. Cash in front of someone's face usually means more than just talking. I bet if you said that is all you could spend, he might bend,

Does it have a title, and how long has it been sitting?

Gah, i was out there today, shoulda taken some pics. totaly forgot. thats true about the money thing though.

I noticed it last time i was there, wich was about a month ago. Went back today, and it was still sittin there, as far as i could tell, no one had touched it. no clue on the title or anything else.

Its a pretty un-molested car though. tops not chopped, its not channeled, lowered, anything.

Im just trying to get a ballpark figure about what these cars are worth. like i said, its in pretty good condition though.

Go into Ebay, and type in 1948 Plymouth. There are a couple there. Then click on "completed listings." There are more there, and it will sort of give you a ballpark. I looked for you, but there are too many to post, so it's best if you look there yourself.

alright, thanks.
