Default Re: I inherited a true to original restoration 1935 Ford Deluxe. Help me out here.

Don’t do anything to it. It is an honest driver nicely restored and cared for. The new owner will make a few required changes, but needs to inspect the car in its present state of repair to confirm the validity of it being a worthy investment. Making any changes at all may give him doubts. You say the oil looks clean, and it starts easily, that’s confirmation that oil pressure is at least adequate. I would not be afraid to pay up to 17k for a car in that condition, which looks to have been out of action due to a bad radiator, from the picture. Don’t auction it, advertise here on the Fordbarn and also on the EFV8CA website. Importantly, the title must be clear. Verify the number on the title with the serial number located on the top of the frame near the steering gear. It nay be difficult to read under paint and grease, so you may have to gently clean it with mild soap & soft brush. Be firm on the price in as-is condition and be honest in your ad like you have been with us here on the Barn. You’ll have to make 8 more postings here before you’ll be able to post an ad, that’s the rules here.
Edit: GB, what have you been drinking? Engine is a 21 stud, and with any luck may even be an LB.
