Hey Slug thats what my tudor is from a distance its awesome up close its defiantly not perfect. When i drive it and people are gawking and giving me thumbs up it makes fill like a high school kid again!!!!! even had a 89 yr old grandma ask me to give her a ride around the parking lot at the grocery store.....she grinned from ear to ear the whole ride. Made me wonder what memories she had flashing back.

I thought $6400 was crazy high for about 2/3 of a cabriolet. Compared to the cabriolet, this intact, solid sport coupe is gonna look real good to bidders.
This is what i am worried about even if i did flip it ( to a good home.None hot rodder) i dont think i could brake even unless in another auction.

There are still lots of Model A's out there; you can't save them all (unless you're rich). The hot rodder may not win it. I'd walk away from the auction car.

But let us know what happens!
Roger that i will.............send me some pics of the Coupe thats for sale...if you dont mind!!!!!! [email protected]
