Default Looking for a value for a 1935 Pontiac 701 Six 4 door Sedan

A good family friend recently purchased this car from someone who could possibly be considered the second owner. The car was purchased new in Rhinelander Wisconsin in 1935 and has never left the town. The previous owner bought the car from the original family some years ago, sold it back several years later and then eventually bought it back again. He passed away last fall and sold it to my dads friend just before his passing. The car has one repaint and the original interior is still in remarkably good condition. I believe that car has less than 60,000 miles. The passenger side running board has a soft spot that could be repaired, but the rest of the car is very solid and presents well. My dads friend is in his 80's and has come to realize that he is not able to drive the car, so he is looking to sell to someone who can drive and enjoy it. Any guidance on establishing a fair asking price would be greatly appreciated.

P.O.C.I has an Early Times chapter. You might want to contact Tom Myers. 914-438-4282 He may be able to lead you in the right direction. Not many pre-war cars come up for sale.

You need to get on the AACA (Antique Auto. Club of America) website. Its free to join and you do not need to be a member. This kind of car will get a lot of traffic there. Just don't make one post asking 'how much is my car worth'. They get a lot of those that turn to crickets when the OP doesnt at least give a thanks.
Pictures are needed for a rough idea, without seeing it and details, Assuming its solid, complete and running I would think $8-$12K. 4 door sedans are low on the desirability list for a lot of people, though 1935 has great styling. Repaint hurts the 'original' value and the 'original interior' may not be as nice as some people would expect it to be.

There's been several 1930's Pontiacs on Bringatrailer.com over the last couple months. They should give you an idea what people are actually paying these days.

A slant back is more rare. It looks like a turn key car. I would guess at least 12,000.

Not all that far from me. I could make a road trip to check it out for interested parties. I'm kind of interested myself.

It was driven to where it is parked a year ago. The previous owner drove it around town occasionally prior to his passing.

If driven 1 year ago, then should be relatively easy to charge battery, air up tires, and start for any prospective customer. A running car will obviously be worth more.

My teen years revolved around pre-war cars, pretty much Ford Model A and V8s. This car would have been a great find in the 1969 when my dad entered the hobby, but to be this nice of a survivor at almost 90 years old is amazing. And back then, open cars were the thing, closed cars were for poor hobbyists.

I really love the styling as well, as was mentioned the slant back makes this car right.
