Re: Another rare eBay find!
Looks like a standard model a motor. With a description of OHV I would expect a Rliey, Crager, Miller etc. Is there somehing I'm missing? I only see an after market dizzy cap and plug wires.

Re: Another rare eBay find!
Sometimes I cannot help myself and this is one of those times.
Note it has a OHV engine and if you let your imagination go a little further this could be a prototype A400!!!, with prototype future options such as: Options on this beautiful Model A are vinyl interior, roll-away vinyl soft top, a custom LED light strip under the dash (for the courtesy lighting), and bias ply tires. LMAO

Re: Another rare eBay find!
The 4 cylinder OHV is what sold me. Getting the plane tickets to pick it up this weekend.

Re: Another rare eBay find!
One of my favorite things is the backwards door handle on the outside of the drivers door. This has to be one of the most messed up "stock" A's I have seen.

Re: Another rare eBay find!
Look at their feedback rating and read all their negative feedback posts! At 79.1% the only reason eBay doesn't dump them is they must be a real cash cow.

Re: Another rare eBay find!
The EBAY add also says it's a 4 cyl. overhead valve engine. I must need new glasses. Looks like it's still a flathead to me. I'm not really a Model A guy, but sounds way too expensive for a Tudor in that condition.

Re: Another rare eBay find!
Charlie, you are correct and I screwed up. It looks like a 1930 radiator shell, but on a 1931 (supposedly) car.

The reason the driver's side door handle is 'backwards' is simple. The car is a screamer. It goes really, really fast and the handle flipped over 180 degrees. Your welcome. |

Re: Another rare eBay find!
It has the two piece 1930 running board aprons, that and the 1930 rad shell kinda say 1930 to me. Doesn't matter that much as long as they have legit paperwork. However, I wouldn't touch it for that kind of money and that feedback.
