"Doctors coupe" is a cool name somebody made up. I believe tha certain Model T coupes were actually named that, but 30 and 31 coupes come in three types - sport, deluxe, and standard only. Any of the three may or may not possess a rumble seat. The former looks like a roadster whose top doesn't come down and which has full doors and glass. The two latter are simply the same car with either plain or fancy interiors, etc. Sort of like the difference between a "stripped" model nowdays, and a fancy one. The utterly most I've ever heard anyone ask for and get for a deluxe coupe is $16,000. and it was beyond nice into the realm of surreal. It had a bunch of MAFCA and MARC awards to prove how nice it was, too. If by "in original condition" you mean "nothing's been done to it", there's no way I'd pay more than $3,500 for it. A "pretty nice original" car will still cost $10,000 or more to restore. If you can stomach it just the way it is, and if it runs good enough to do so, you might be able to go as high as $5,000. See my former comments on the subject of buying model A's to RA Breckler on this board. The important thing is to know what condition it is actually in before you make any offers. |
