Looks to be a nice car from the photos. Good deal for someone. Or, could it be that the value of these "old timers" is dropping? Selling a car like that at BJ Auction is a mistake unless you just want to get rid of it. A friend of mine who knows cars bought an original, complete 1936 Ford 3W Coupe in very good condition with Mitchell OD and hydraulic brakes for 22K about 5 years ago from the midwest area of the USA. I guess good buys are still out there. https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Even...M-COUPE-236095 Last edited by 19Fordy; 01-17-2020 at 11:29 AM. |

Re: Barrett Jackson
There were two 36 3 windows that sold for around 70K. They had updated drivetrains. Unfortunately our style of car is not selling that well.

Re: Barrett Jackson
Did you notice that everywhere in the listing it refers t it as a "1936 Ford" and at the very end of the listing it says "Titled as a 1935 Ford". There may be something seriously fishy going on here that is reflected in the low value. I am not enough of an expert on these cars to determine anything definitive from the few photos posted, but it seems there is something going on here.

Re: Barrett Jackson
Especially the younger crowd is more in to performance cars. Old Fords are not the hot ticket anymore unless they are "built". It's only the old guys like some of us.

Re: Barrett Jackson
Yeah, value is dropping. If I was in this for the money I would sell them all now ( or better yet turn them into resto-mods first). I WOULD NEVER DO THAT. And with the low current value, nice cars will be bought and turned into resto-mods. The people who just want to make money are making a killing by taking a nice flathead powered car and putting a sbc, turbo trans, 9" rear in it and making many thousands of dollars.

Re: Barrett Jackson
I saw two, what looked like '37 Ford hot rods that went for $30K. I know you can't build them for that, someone got a great deal! Same for that '35 Ford Coupe.

Re: Barrett Jackson
Well, even though it appears to be a DEAL, I wouldn't have touched it. It's listed as a '35. It sure appears to be '35, except that it's described as a '36, twice. It says "TITLED AS A 1935 FORD". But it has an early '36 serial number. That could be a paperwork nightmare, not only with the local DMV, but with the insurance company when it comes time to file a claim. That's why it went for cheap. PASS! DD

Re: Barrett Jackson
The car that sold for $22K at Barrett Jackson, also has a later incorrect engine. Might have a little to do with the low price. Looks like possibly a 59A engine from the 40's ?

It is a 24-stud, possibly 59A-type, but likely a '39 221-incher out of a truck. The interesting thing in this picture is the TAG that has been pop-riveted to the firewall on the far left of picture. I'm betting that that may have something to do with NON-ORIGINAL serial number, or possibly some state's re-assigned serial number program. Definitely some ID discrepancies on that baby. DD |

Re: Barrett Jackson
If this came up for sale around me for $20K, it would be in my garage. Paperwork can be sorted out on an old car.
Think about how many model A's are running around that don't have anywhere near the correct paperwork. |

That's all great for the initial DMV routine...……..until the accident victim's lawyers start looking into it and find "FRAUD" with the paperwork, or when YOUR insurance company declares that "That ain't THE car YOU represented it to be, hence...not the one WE insured"! It can get ugly in a hurry, guys. DD |

Re: Barrett Jackson
There are a lot of assumptions being made that the car is a fraud. Not one of us was there, looking at the documentation, etc.
We are making a boat load of assumptions. It could be a simple typo or it could be a paperwork nightmare. |

Re: Barrett Jackson
I'm with Mr. Coopman. Also, I don't think it's a typo because they were pretty deliberate pointing the differences out. I am also with you, for the right price, I would be interested as well, especially if it WAS a '36 (I like them better than '35's for a number of reasons).

Re: Barrett Jackson
BJ is not the place to sell a pre war Ford unless it has some famous builder's name attached to it. The clients bidding are there either for a muscle type car or a bargain... not a semi-original car. Saturday will tell... the best cars are usually run across Sat night.

Re: Barrett Jackson
My '36 roadster was titled as a '35. Someone changed the sheet metal long ago. There was never a problem with the title. As far as I know they go by VIN number not what sheet metal is on it.

Re: Barrett Jackson
Correct. VIN is key, not sheet metal. Think of how many Model A's have '32 grilles.

No assumptions here....everything that I stated data-wise came directly from the obvious info printed in the auction ad. Also note that "they" made sure to HI-LITE that the car was "TITLED AS A 1935 FORD", even though Barrett knew that something was askew with the serial number being for a '36. They are covering their own butts so as not to misrepresent the facts. I DID NOT say that there was any FRAUD going-on with that car, but when the authorities and or the insurers need to get involved for ANY "not-good" reason, you can just about be assured that the word "fraud" or fraudulent" will come-up in the conversation. And if it's involved in any damage accident, there WILL BE a trial. DD |

Hey Tim....WE will amicably disagree on this one. But it just may be that you can wait two or three weeks or so and contact the lucky purchaser. If he has since found some possible problem getting it registered in his home state (some states can be a bitch), he just MIGHT be willing to accept your $20K offer. Truth be known, put all that sheet metal on a legit '35 frame with a good title and you're "golden". Or even better, make a '36 out of it and go on down the road. DD |

Re: Barrett Jackson
Paperwork notwithstanding and based only on listing pictures, the OP car looks comparable to the red one also linked in this thread. The latter car is more hot-roddy but it's still flathead powered. OTOH, it's a 5-window trunk vs a supposedly more desirable 3-window rumble seat. Yet it sold for more than four times as much. I know there's plenty of money in Palm Beach but I wouldn't think that alone explains the difference.

Re: Barrett Jackson
Here's another assumption, a perhaps/maybe/possible explanation for the 36 with a 35 title:
I think I read that back in the day, a few states did not issue a title with a model year. Their titles showed year of manufacture. (maybe this practice was a throw-back to the Model T days when cars did not have model year changes) In that case, an early 36 made/sold in 35 would have been given a title showing 1935. |

Re: Barrett Jackson
How about some detail pictures of the rear fenders (especially the rear tips) or the cowl sides? It looks like this is a "put-together" car, so that may not even be definitive. I am starting to see why the value is not what one would think.

What the heck is going on with the crankcase breather/oil fill on the end of that flexi-hose crap?

Re: Barrett Jackson
I've been watching this thread and want to (finally) add that this car was bought "about right" in my opinion.
It isn't that nice of a car. Maybe a decent driver. Guys, this ain't 1995 anymore. These cars are losing value - like it or not, that's reality.

Maybe if it was a five window...'35 and '36 three window coupes are probably some of the most sought after Fords in my opinion...And not to mention they're just plain sexy!

Re: Barrett Jackson
B/J says that they inspect each vehicle to authenticate the seller's claims. As they collect 8% from the seller, and 10% of the sale price from the buyer, it had better be right! Very few non "restomods"are offered, as the market has mostly evaporated, even for correct restorations.
