Estimating a Singer Gazelle IIIC from 1962

Hello,

I would like to know how much a Singer Gazelle IIIC from 1962 in its current state is worth. Maybe you could give me an estimation, some advices or point me to others forums ?

It's a french version. It has been stocked in a (more of less dry) barn for 45 years. The wheels, brakes and the motor are seized up (but it can turn). The tyres are most probably to be changed. The frame has some rust on the surface, but nothing too bad it seems.
Here are some pictures : https://imgur.com/a/U2c2Trn? , and a better picture from the inside https://i.imgur.com/FSjmxYH.jpg

What is your opinion about it ?

Thank you, have a nice day :smile:

Have you googled the car and compare what prices are. Might for grins do the Hagerty price guide on line.

From 2011 in California:
https://bringatrailer.com/2011/09/06/bat-exclusive-tractor-deal-1962-singer-gazelle/
little or no rust, ragtop looks good, drives down the road, $3K.

Yours needs engine, brakes, body and paint, and a new top. Those are gonna cost you four times the $3K to do right.
You going to fix it or get rid of it?

If get rid of it, based upon costs to bring it up to the condition of a running California example, whatever you can get.

The original owner of the car must have had the same engine issues, swapped in a reliable Datsun 210. Smart for the cost.

If you can get a current copy of Practical Classics magazine,
they have a price guide in it.
Probably worth more in Europe than here in the US.
