1947dodge

Hello, Yes the rear doors open like the front. I have tried to attach a picture of the car, hopefully it comes through. It is a picture of the day we pulled it out of the barn. It is the only one saved to my computer. It is covered with a pretty good layer of dust but it washed off.

Yes, I do plan on selling the car. I did talk to any of my family members that I thought would be intersted but they all declined the offer. I think that most of them are in the same "boat" as me. I am hoping to make back some of the money that I spent on parts. Thanks for your thoughts.

Hello- I am seeking opinions from folks who know more on this subject than I do. I know that it is not easy to estimate the price on a car without seeing first hand and that it is only worth what someone will give you for it but I would like some thoughts please. A few years ago I purchased My great-grandparents 1947 Dodge 4 Door Town Sedan from my uncle who had purchased it at the estate auction. My great-grandparents quit driving in the late 60's and parked it in their garage. After my uncle bought it in 1981 he stored it in a dirt floor garage which is what I believe led to some of the scaly rust on the underside of the car. When I first purchased the car I was excited about working on it and pulled the engine/transmission and removed the seats to check for rust. Shortly after this my wife & I started our family and I realize that I am not going to have time to work on the car and we are about to move to a property that does not have storage for it. I have purchased a lot of new or NOS parts for this car along the way but will go with the car. The car has the Fluid Drive transmission. The exterior body is in very good condition with only 1 small dent on the rear passenger side fender. Has all the original trim pieces and bumpers although the rear bumper is getting some weak spots. I had the original engine running and my father said it was overhauled shortly before my grandparent quit driving it however I have no way to prove it. All the glass is intact with 1 side window being cracked. Has all the hubcaps and spare tire with jack. It has the original radio and clock. The headliner needs refurbished. There are rust holes on both sides of the floorboards under the rubber sill plates and where the bottom piece of weatherstripping is on the trunk opening. The following are new parts that I have for the car: Starter solenoid switch fuel pump fan belt old style battery cables thermostat radiator hoses brake hoses master cylinder brake light switch wheel cylinder to brake shoe pins brake return springs brake shoe retainer clips brake shoe anchor bolts front/rear shocks trunk weatherstripping brake shoes front wheel bearings/seals distributor vac. advance water distribution tube water pump tune up kit plug wires ignition coil voltage regulator wiring harnesses Coker wide white-wall tires stainless brake lines service manual parts manuals original owners manual I am sorry for the long post but I appreciate any information you can give. I would just like an idea on a starting price. I want to be fair to the next owner and myself. The car is located in central Indiana if location matters on the price. Thank you.
