My Father-in-law died and so did his dream of restoring his 1927 Chevrolet. Stored inside for the last 45 years. Appraisal below at $6900. "Appears to be a restorable vehicle. Everything remains relatively solid and everything is there. This may the most desirable 1927 Chevrolet to restore, next to the roadster, and while it is not running and will need a complete restoration, it is still a good find" International Vehicle Appraisers NetworkVEHICLE APPRAISALOn October 2, 2014, I personally visually inspected and evaluated the vehicle described below for the purpose of providing an estimation of the vehicle's cash/fair market value today. I inspected the vehicle's exterior, interior, chassis, and engine compartment. A mechanical evaluation was conducted where possible. The evaluation is based upon authenticity, preservation/restoration, maintenance and/or replacement costs. Vehicle Make & Year: 1927 Chevrolet AA Sports Cabriolet Body Number: J6575 Body Style: 2 door Color: Dundee Gray/Black Interior (color/material): Gray Special Features(Mileage: 58,264 – actual unknown) This appears to be a relative solid 1927 Chevrolet AA Sports Cabriolet which is not running and has been sitting for numerous years. This is one of eight models Chevrolet produced in 1927 and may be the most desirable. It is in restorable condition and I will try to touch on more specific details in the following sections. Engine/Engine Compartment:(Overall Condition Grade 5) Engine compartment is somewhat dirty with the engine being covered in oil leakage accumulation and rust setting in on the remaining parts and surfaces. The compartment does look complete except for the radiator itself which should probably be replaced anyway. It would appear to be the original 170 cubic inch four cylinder engine with little done in the way of modification or changes. Chassis:Overall Condition Grade 5) Underside is rust covered but appears solid with only surface rust and solid wood. Exhaust system will probably need replacement but everything else appears to be present. Some oil accumulation is noticed on the transmission as well as the engine. Front and rear bumpers are present and appear in fair condition with rust present but salvageable with sand blasting. The 30-4.50-21 tires are badly rotted however the wheels, while rust covered, should be able to be saved. The rear tire carrier is present and undamaged. Interior:(Overall Condition Grade 5+) Interior remains in fair condition with the upholstery actually looking decent however age has hardened the fabric and it will need replacement. Floorboards appear solid. Steering wheel remains in good condition and can be nicely restored. Gauges remain in fair condition and have not discolored. All interior hardware appears to be present and should be salvageable. Exterior:(Overall Condition Grade 5+) Exterior sheet metal is solid, including running boards and fenders, with the original paint still distinguishable. Fabric on the roof has deteriorated somewhat but most is present, as are the Cabriolet S moldings. Glass is separating and the rear window has several large chips but all is present. Radiator grill is rust covered but shows no other damage. We were unable to open the trunk however I am told it is not fitted with a rumble seat. Summary/Comments Appears to be a restorable vehicle. Everything remains relatively solid and everything is there. This may the most desirable 1927 Chevrolet to restore, next to the roadster, and while it is not running and will need a complete restoration, it is still a good find however it does not command the higher prices of many cars in this era. Pricing on a vehicle like this is best determined by using a combination of paper valuation such as NADA Collector cars and the 2014 Collector Car Price Guide. I will place overall condition code on this vehicle at #5+After careful evaluation of this vehicle, based on my expertise and experience and after consulting Old Cars Price Guide, NADA, Collector Car Auction Results, The Production Figure Book for U.S. Cars, the Internet, reviewing the International Vehicle Appraisers Network database, reviewing comparables, etc. and after consulting with other Professional Appraisers, museums, and automotive experts, etc., when necessary, I appraise (estimate) this vehicle as having a cash value of $6,900.00 We are willing to work with buyer to ship at buyers expense.
