Town Car In Swap Meet
 

Just wondering if this is one that has been known or the proverbial barn find?

asking price is way high. I've seen restored '29s asking for $130,000. I mean, a '30 is way more rare, but at that point- a town car is a town car. A year difference wouldn't mean much to me.

I looked and didn't see a town car, saw video of a town sedan, no big deal. JMO

1931 Flamingo, go to the swap section and enter"Control F". A window should pop up and type in Town car and it will be high lighted. Bob Johnson may be interested but I sure ain't!

So sad to see itin such bad shape. I'm sure it could be restored but at what cost?????

This calls for Jay Leno to ride to the rescue...with his resources, the car would certainly get the tender loving care and restoration it deserves. But then again, I suppose anyone who could afford it in the first place could afford to restore it properly.

I see some interest in the car but nobody has contacted me.I'm open to offers and trades.I also have other cars and more A's.

Out of curiosity, what's the history on this particular car?

Must be the same one that was at the Rhinebeck Swap Meet 40 so years ago. When I saw it it had more brazed in patches and repairs than any car I've ever seen. It looks far better in those photos. Bob

I followed the thread an saw it stated that this car was one of three known to exist obviously the intent here is for unrestored cars, I personally know of two cars one restored one not, one left hand drive the other right hand drive don" remember which is which , both very nice nether of these are for sale.

While it would be nice to own a town car, that car is in no way shape or form worth $100k IMO.

Fellas,
here's some history-body found in a dump in the early 60's, mated to another A chassis
spoke with the owner a couple years back and was told 50k, got up there to look at it and the son decided it was 75k.......... so now see it is 100k

all that wallpaper this administration is printing is turning into WW1 German deutsche marks! :)
Just in case anyone is interested, missing so many small items that you better be a pretty damn good machinist with a big wallet for manufacturing.
anyways, had to think long and hard at 50k and smiled at the suggestion of going up from there.
Is fun to dream-reality, go buy a done one.
