Saw one for sale, Don't know much (well, anything) about prewar cars.

What's it worth, being a 6 cylinder 2 door car? Overall decent car.

What's the parts availability? Need a fuel pump and battery, maybe brake parts like master cylinder and wheel cylinder. Also need door panels and seat material. Might need wiring and generator.

WHere do I check for problem points with these cars?

The 239 was made from 41-54, so the parts availability shold be pretty good, same for brakes and suspension. California Pontiac Restoration should have mostly what you need. Stuff like trim and body panals will be difficult to find depending on what model it is. There is an a, b and c body depending on the model .
I'm just going thru some of this stuff for my 41 too, my interior is an optional Mohair fabric, which is pretty expensive to replace, probably get something close when that time comes.
Can't comment on the value without seeing the car. Look up what they have beeen selling on epay maybe to get an idea. Still learning as I go hope this helps.
There isn't too much prewar tech here, but there also is a good 42-48 Pontiac group on yahoo as well. Pretty much the same as what a 41 is.

Car is pretty decent, not much on ebay or hemmings. What would be max value for perfect show car?

Keith, a 41 is a nice car.

This is a 2 day auction, today and tomarro. The cars today were going for ~$160-$250. If it wasnt for 1 scrap yard bidder ans 1 salvage yard bidder, they would have been much cheaper. I may take this one home just because. If so, I'll have parts.
The Bonneville has a 400/4brl, white interior and 8 track player.
