Trying to sell an older collector car but I have no idea the value. It does not run but is rare. It is in disrepair but a great car for a donit yourselfer.

Frontenac was Canadian Aug 1931 to Dec 1933 built at Leaside Ont. 1931 model E or E618 and 1932 670 the square type bodies. 1932 685 patterned after the US 680 De Vaux and one survives in Oshawa. 1933 was C-400 (4cyl) C-600 (6 cyl) patterned after the US Continental Beacon and Flyer.
Durant's / Frontenac's are what are called orphan cars and do not command high prices even fully restored.
What model do you have ?

The body looks like a '32, but it has c-600 stamped on it. I don't know the model. I guess I should do some more research.

That doesn't look too bad as a restoration candidate from that one picture. Looks to be missing headlight lenses, crankhole cover?, wiper arms, which I'm sure could be found except for the crankhole cover. Of course you don't need those things to have a running car. Value hard to determine. All the cars we have are probably losing value as the owners age out, with little new interest. As Norm said, orphan cars are worth less, especially at this lower end of the market. I'd say 2500-3000 bucks (US)?

Someone should save this car. I will try to contact Darryl J. in Seattle to see if he is still in the hobby.
Contact TFX International to pick up and ship. It was easy for me to ship to the US years ago.

Do You own a car built by Durant? Just good memories
Yes, I put it on Kijiji last night. Have had 5 interested individuals. I didn't know i had to have a Statutory Ownership form though, so I think I'll take it down until I have what's needed.

Interesting .. guess each Province does its own thing
In Ontario, Canada, transferring vehicle ownership typically involves completing the "Application for Transfer" section on the back of the vehicle permit, obtaining a Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP) from the seller, and completing a bill of sale. The buyer then needs to take these documents, along with payment for applicable fees and taxes, to Service Ontario.
In Manitoba, transferring vehicle ownership involves using a Transfer of Ownership document, while land ownership changes require filing a Transfer smart form with Teranet Manitoba. For vehicles, the seller must complete the registration card, including the date and odometer reading, and sign it. The purchaser also signs, and the seller keeps the left portion while giving the right portion (TOD) to the buyer. For land, a Transfer smart form is filed with Teranet Manitoba to update the title.
That about sums it up that it varies Province to Province
What do you need when transferring ownership of a vehicle in Canada?
The required documents will vary by province, but in most cases, you'll need:
The vehicle's original registration.
A bill of sale that includes the buyer's and seller's information, vehicle details, and purchase price.
Proof of insurance (the buyer).

It's because I have no proof of ownership. It was stored at my husband's family home for 20 years (where he started to restore the outside), then our home for 35 years (where he did nothing). I have to tell the Manitoba Public Insurance company my story and they'll decide if the car is mine to sell. Haha
I have no concerns that they won't agree it's mine. Just a bit of red tape I didn't know about.

Typical .. I went to one license outlet on the 32 with signed ownership, bill of sale and all that, and they wanted lawyer / notary letters blaa blaa and I just walked out of the place in frustration. Waited a few weeks until I calmed down and went to a different outlet. No fuss at all with same papers, paid the sales tax and asked the girl how I changed the vin info as it was incorrect on the ownership paper. She said write down the correct vin on a piece of paper and give it to me. I did and have ownership in my name and with correct vin. Old ownership had an I (i) instead of a J as the first letter of the vin. Under Dominion Motors they changed the T letter of vin to different alpha based on year and model. It started at A 1931 for 407 and B for 1931 614 etc and up to P on this 1933 C-600 Fronty. 1933 C-400 was N. 1932 614 was J. They omitted I and O as they looked like 1 and 0.

One more pic showing the C-600 engine. So far vin plate is missing but a good project car. Unlike the US Conny's ours had glove box and last of the Fronty's had radio's US never had.
