Re: Unrestored original. Worth more?
I can only say i paid under $3,000.00 for a unrestored 1930 Briggs fordor standard[29,000 miles] that its body is solid , mostly everything is there less the interior ..The 29,000 miles shows up on the door jam [GULF Gas station ] with the mileage when serviced from 1962. and the frame is in super shape.

My 2c for what they are worth: Life is short. Opportunities to do things that bring us true happiness come along infrequently. If this car is one of those opportunities in your life, why not put THAT ahead of the dollars in your bank account?

Re: Unrestored original. Worth more?
They are only original ONCE, a good one in a cared for but used, preserved condition is worth alot more than an older pretty well done car but not as much as a professional points car. Then again it depends on the rarity of the model - a real scarce one in excellent original condition would go through the roof, where as a pro points car probably has a ceiling. This is an opinion for discussion not a fact.

Re: Unrestored original. Worth more?
Unless you know the history of the car,you dont know how many times the speedo has been around.About 25 years ago or so,there was a photo of a 30 coupe that had traveled over 600,000 miles by the original owner on his job of traveling to the farms all over Kansas.He always serviced it himself & it had gone thru 6 engines & the car still looked in decent condition. The photo was in the Restorer magazine.Who says that stock A,s are not reliable?
