Theres plenty of odd things about it engine compartment alone. I dont mind the red/green combo and kinda like it as a service vehicle scheme but not THAT color green...

2 questions i have -

i havent seen the modern plug setup with the factory style distributor body before. Is that an old repo or aftermarket item?

Would they really use a standard model A as a wrecker? I couldnt imagine that towing a big car of that era

Neat idea and looks kinda cool though. Im with whomever up there said people got into a bidding war as no way it should have reached that otherwise.

Just curious as to what a true fine points award winning Model A goes for?

Great way to advertise your towing business in parades and car shows.

Yep, I used to have them on my roadster pickup. Saw that one quick.
