Welcome. I encourage you to join at least one local club. In Vancouver it's the Volcano A's (volcanoas.net/). In Portland it's the Beaver Chapter of MAFCA (http://beaverchapter.shutterfly.com) or (http://www.beaverchapter.com/). When you get to Bend, you'll want to look up the High Desert A's. Also join one of the national clubs. There is a wealth of fun, information, advice and help in participation in these organizations.

Thanks Ray.

I appreciate the info.

Once I get out to where the car is, I will take a bunch of photos and start a new thread. The subject will be, what is still missing from the car.

Welcome aboard Sean, I put my 29 Special coupe together in 1981 and aside from a few startup problems back then it's been very reliable and comfy since. The Special coupe was only made for 1 year, from mid 28 to mid 29 and the body style is my favorite. Good luck and yours looks nice.

Welcome, Sean !

You have a very knowledgeable "neighbor" up in Vancouver, B.C. - "Farrell in Vancouver", who has restored a Special Coupe, and is a great wealth of info !

I have a '28 Special Coupe, myself, rescued from a field (by someone else) and made into a reliable driver. It's my first A and has been a great deal of fun!

Special Coupes are somewhat rare... don't see many around.

Keep us posted !

Well, it's road trip time. Headed out to get the '28.

Beautiful day for a drive. Actually left yesterday, now on second leg of trip this morning.

I think this trailer will suffice!

Good luck with your trip. Hope to see you in Bend in Sept.

Thanks Fred.

Got out here and see the car again. It hasn't run since a year ago this week.

I see it needs a coil wire.

That is about all I could see at this point. The morning may bring new things.


So, where should I start for a coil wire? LOL!

By the way, I had Les Andrews' vol. 1 shipped out here when I ordered it. Thankfully it arrived before I did!

Hi Sean,

Is this the one you mean? It is the one that runs from the coil to the distributor.

The above item is from Bratton's. But you could probably get it from Floyd's Model "A" Parts right there in Vancouver. Her phone number is 360-887-3346 and address is 29500 NW 31st, Ridgefield, WA 98642.

Good luck.

Thanks Fred. We are so excited about having this car. My wife is just in tears having one of his cars. He spent many years collecting and building these.

Once we get it home, there is a lot of things we are going to be doing and needing for this.

[amdriven2liv]

Well, we got it home.
