Ok guys, back in 2011 I had just bought a barn fresh '30 tudor over in eastern Montana. I've since sold that car. Anyway, right after I purchased it a friend showed me another model a tudor sitting out in a field. Car had been outside for a LONG time, and I was content with what I had. Flash forward to 6 months ago and I decided to call the owner and strike a deal on it. Still there! Upon further investigation I noticed the left hand e-brake in some old pictures I had of it. I got curious. When I pulled the car back to Idaho I noticed that the engine number was 3180; making this a December of 27 car. I recently found an old article dating this as one of the earliest ones known to exist. My plans for it was to yank the banger and trans and build an AV8. Now I'm not sure I can do that. I have no idea if being this early of a car if it adds any value? Or is this just another model a that I can dump a v8 in. [IMG]
