wish I couold buy this one!
Figured I'd share this one. Looks like a nice survivor but I could be wrong?
http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/3431144596.html I have no connection to the car just saw it for sale by me and thought I'd share. |

Re: wish I couold buy this one!
That gets me, when they go through the trouble of advertising and don't put a price on it. I don't bother to respond unless I know the price.

Re: wish I couold buy this one!
Really decent and I hope it stays that way. Wonder what the price is?
Funny how the instrument panel got so rusty. Must have been a lot of hand prints on it over the years. I've seen finger prints on bearing shells and they can't be removed. That's why it good to keep polished metal oiled and not touch it. |

Re: wish I couold buy this one!
I called and the price seemed very reasonable I just dont have the funds right now unfortunately. I figured I'd pass it along in hopes of seeing it saved instead of hot rodded.
If someone on here is interested in it I am willing to go inspect it in person. |

Re: wish I couold buy this one!
That should go fast.
I've seen poorly fixed and painted A's go for almost twice that amount. I hope a TRUE Model A person buys it and keeps it original. |

Re: wish I couold buy this one!
Yep price is in the ad.
I like how they say "NO RUST", but then if you look at the pictures, you see rust. This car has some rust on the inside- Gear shift, brake handle, instrument panel... |

Re: wish I couold buy this one!
It depends what part of the country you are as to rust comments. In Ca. that may be considered rust around here that's patina. It doesn't look rusted out which is good, just some oxidation.

Re: wish I couold buy this one!
Ross- Does the word "rust" have different meaning in different parts of the country? Rust is rust. So, if someone says (in all caps no less), "NO RUST", I expect to see no rust. Patina is patina, and that is understandable. However, it is frustrating that people have a rusty car and claim "no rust" still. Is it just me??
Marco- Your Model A website is still one of the best. |

Re: wish I couold buy this one!
I myself would also describe the car as "no rust", as far as the pictures show anyway. When it comes to an old car, "rust" means rust through.

Re: wish I couold buy this one!
A couple folks are talking semantics over the word "rust" while someone wise was using his time to purchase the car! It will be interesting to see if someone here claims to be the new owner. It was on Craigslist for about eight hours.
