Over $100,000 if it's really good. Could be a lot more if PERFECT. G.M.

Show some pictures and a description of the condition, what's been done and not done. Is it a true "restoration" or non- original parts.

Ignore the idiot posting " that's for you to decide".

Lots of good guys here will give you a good estimate if you provide enough info.

Its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. To get the big bucks, it should "appear" to be correctly restored to original specs and marketed in such a mannaer to be visible and apealing to those who have the big bucks. There are a lot of cars out there that are advertised to "appear" to be restored that experience Ev8 folks will scoff at. I am not implying yours is one of those. Can't help but remember a socalled excellent woodie that was rodded on epay that was only a two door, ower was really proud of it and yes, it had a garbage truck engine in it. Lets see some detail pics, there are some true experience folks that post on this board that can give you a fair observation.

A nicely restored or original 33 woodie is a rare and really desireable car. I have a 33 2 door and have been to a lot of shows and have never seen a woodie "in the flesh". We would love to see pictures of it or hear more about it. Does it have a 21 stud motor - mechanical brakes - tell us more!

Much more information is required for anyone to be able to answer your question. Pictures are EXTREMELY important!!! Also a short description and any history you can provide.

Without this info its basically the same as asking "What's my house worth" and then not telling us where you live, how many bedrooms, square footage, etc.

There are just too many variables to get a useful answer unless you provide more info.

Yea right. The guy's first post is to find out what his car is worth. Posts no pictures or description and I'm the idiot? Seems there was a post not long ago about wanting a more civilized forum. Maybe you forgot to read it.

There has been a 33 woodie for sale in Hemmings for a very long time at Carousel Classics, I think they were asking 79k? Check in to it. Good luck on the sale.

Do any of you know how much it would cost to replace the bad wood, clean the old finish off, sand and refinish the interior and exterior and have perfect matching panels and frame work with good fitting doors?? Start from there on a perfect one. G.M.

I noticed the original poster hasn't commented on this since posting it. He just joined yesterday and only has this 1 post. I wonder if we'll ever really see him again.

Seems like it's flatjack himself that forgot to read the "civilized forum" post. He starts out cracking wise and can 't take the heat when he's called on his attitude.

I think the guy posted this to increase the blood flow on Fordbarners. We need that occasionally...

Wow- I didn't know they were that rare. No wonder I don't see any at the local car shows huh.
Actually, it's pretty rare to see any 33-34 Fords that aren't hot rods. I wonder how many there are around. I would love to be driving mine down some country road and see another one coming the other way - that would be neat!

I'll bet the owner forgot to ask his wife if he could buy it at Nick's auction! I would say he is having a hard time finding a buyer even if it is an exceptional vehicle.
