Default Re: How come my car isn't even worth scrapping?

Prices out there advertised are way too high. I advertised both my 29 roadster and 28 AR RPU for $5k less than anything else out there on Hemmings.com. Both sold for asking or close to it. Not many lookers or inquiries either in 6 months on either one. Both were fresh top to bottom restorations with new paint and interior. One sold to a local and one sight un-seen. Got lucky though, the 29 looked like new but had gallons of bondo on it and the buyer didn't check. The sight un-seen buyer got a very good truck. It wasn't restored to any specific date but had loads of rare AR parts on it. No shocks but I intentionally included pictures that showed the lack of. Didn't advertise it with shocks. When buyer got the truck he asked where the shocks were and I responded I didn't advertise that it had any.

IMHO the market for Model As is very weak. It is at least for 29 roadster and 28 RPUs in my experience. I think Model As are going the way of Model Ts.

The 29 buyer drives his and has a ball in it. He has stayed in touch and I help him out whenever I can for no charge. Last time he insisted I take $20 for adjusting his horn. He had adjusted it too tight.
