Default Re: A Collector's Stuff is for Sale

Depending on just how "restorable" the 57 Bird is, I find that price to be downright reasonable as a starting point. I am just into Y-blocks and I gotta tell you romping on that 292 is a little different than my Model A, but I digress....

As to Model A and T parts, lately in my area a couple of old guys passed away who had stashes of Model A parts. Most of the stuff was at best just rebuildable core material (although I got a good working Zenith for $10). The prices being asked were quite high for stuff that needed restoration. Just because it is old doesn't mean it is highly valuable. You gotta buy stuff right as you will need to put work and $$$ into restoring this stuff. Of course, we all know that, right?
