The Ford Barn

I see the '24 T is at about 2600.00 now. I pay some attention to them on marketplace. This one has been on there for almost six months about an hour away from where the ferry docks. Clearly the seller is asking too much.

If I was in the market it might interest me, but I'm maxed out on covered spaces to park. These things aren't exactly flying off the lot. I do feel I could get more for it this spring, parking it in front of our farmer's market in town with a for sale sign on it. Maybe an old straw hat on the passenger seat and a hay bale in the back. I have sold no less than twenty ford trucks from the '30s-'50s in that manner in 40 years. All 3/4 ton and bigger. Never did one intending to sell, but once re-done I get bored with it and find another that "I'm gonna keep Forever".

That's how this guy sells an old Ford.
