1929 Fordor Briggs Running Again

Really nice car, try and keep it as original as you can since it hasn't been restored, it has that original look to it!

Yeah, it was actually given to my mom by my uncle with the idea that she could sell it and keep the money. He never did anything with it and had it moved to a storage unit in MD some few years ago. I heard that and said, 'Hold on!". You're going to sell the thing for chump change sight unseen, so I paid a grand to have it towed to me. And really, it has been a pleasure to bring it back. Only opportunity I will ever have at a "Model" anything. I had never even sat in one before, let alone put a wrench on it. But the modern miracles of YouTube and forums such as these have been of incalculable aid to me. Never would I have guessed, for example, to remove the little bolt in the timing cover and turn it around to find TDC; who would? But a minute of research here and there combined with a little patience and I'm on my way.


Wish I could keep it now, but the deal was that I get it running and driving and give all remaining profit after my expenses to her, as it should be.
