Where did he get the tires? Are they reproduction tires?
The bike should bring around $800 to 1,000 without those correct parts, but it looks very usable the way it is.....

I would agree with the $1000 value.

The tires are old. Really hard and brittle.

This is a mid 20's Ranger. Saddle, pedals and pump, correct horn, grips, wheels will cost $1200 plus to aquire. Not having original wheels I see the bike as close to completion as a parts donor.

So want those wheels! Beauty!

I would think around $950/$1000.

Bike is too nice to be parted out.
Cranks say 1918 not mid 20's.
I agree with the price range you guys gave, but my dad thinks other wise.

Seat tube decal - any chance of a better picture?

Figure of speech. Tell your dad to put the old trophy price on it, and then just keep showing him other ones in the same ballpark. No harm no foul. Sometime it's easier to enlighten people with money than honesty. Honestly.
