I can't believe they got that price for that car!! Are there any good value estimators out here. I got a 31 that puts that one to shame. It's all original except the roof and rubber. My dad dated my mom in this car. It even has the original Chev floor mats. I can send pics if you need them. The interior is in tact though some of it is getting a little rough (mostly the head liner). Starts and runs real well though we are having a rough idle issue right now.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

The car featured is a 5 passenger coupe making it a very desirable vehicle. Based on the condition represented in the photos I would say that the car sold at a fair price. \:D \:D \:D

I have the "coach" model which is also a 5 passenger. It was manufactured in Wisc.

Please take a look at the pictures posted on eBay. The 5 passenger coupe body stops short of the back of the rear fenders. When you say you have a coach, does that mean the body extends just beyond the rear fenders? The "coach" body is the more common body.

The coach was the most common model made in 1931, with a production run of 228,316. That is over double the production of the special sedan with a run of 109,775 units. And, there are many, many 1931 coach models still surviving today. However, production for the 5 passenger coupe in 1931 (which is the car featured on eBay) was only 20,297 units making it a fairly rare and a much more desirable car because of its low production. \:D \:D \:D
