Good advice and wow, $$ talks. The rodders will pay really good money for a '30-'31 Roadster. These cars seem to always have a demand for them. Cheaper than a good '32 Ford and basically they are the same style anyway, the '32 was a Model A carryover until Edsel and Bob Gregorie re-designed it all for '33. 1932 was a transition year and almost all the good ones are long gone
