Default 1931 Model A slant windshield Blindback!!

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. Today I was lucky enough to pull 7 model A's from a farm. 1 of these cars, I believe is a '31 slant windshield blindback! It's just the body, but it's pretty dagum solid! I'm not familiar with the value of this gem, so any help would be appreciated.

Need your location and pictures. Both will affect the value.

That looks decent. It must have been really nice when it was removed from the chassis. I would think $800 if the subframes and gas tank are good.

Subframes, cowl, and tank are in great shape! I am very suprised by the condition of this car, considering it was in a field.

Sounds like you got lucky.

Ahhh... I could use a rarer body style in my collection, that and I love fordors! If you're ever interested in selling it, you know who to contact first.

$800 seems pretty cheap. Doors alone would sell for that,especially if they have the window risers and locks.

A 160C ! Very nice. You may want to contact Mark Maron who posts here a lot. He has a nice one that he drives thousands of miles a year. He would be a good source of answers for resto details specific to the 160C.

Easy way for pics:
Click the "blue post reply" lower left bottom of page, when text box opens, in the top middle of the bar you will see a "paperclip" click that, a window will open "manage attachments" click "choose file" then pick your picture, after you picked up to seven pics click the top "upload" on the right hand side of the text box, wait for it to upload.
You must type something, anything into the text box message, scroll down to see "preview post" at bottom of your text box, you should see your message as it will appear when you post, if you like it click "submit reply" to post.
Easy-cheesy

As with most any model a these days, one would be upside-down on a restoration
That notwithstanding, I would think it's worth a couple grand
Those are called blind back fr a reason.....hard to see out to drive
Had one
