Re: 1931 Model A Ford Mail Truck for sale
There’s a later ‘31 mail truck on eBay right now and closes in about three days. Very rough, nowhere near as nice. Take a lot of $ to get close to yours.

Re: 1931 Model A Ford Mail Truck for sale
very true. as with most model As, best to buy the best and not get involved..........
lol would be easy to drop 40k on the restoration project. |

If one restores cars for a living, they better make a profit at it. If one is a hobbyist, not so much. I'm the latter and I figure I'm doing well to break even. Any loss is just the cost of the enjoyment I get from restoring and driving the car. I might agree with "buy the best and not get involved" with a common body style. But a rare model like a mail truck may warrant the expense, even if one goes underwater on it. |

other problem is the parking space. One needs a barn, not a garage. |

Yeah, they're not very practical. Sadly, my advanced age and infirmity means dreaming is all I now can do Model-A-wise. But if I was in the market for one and found say, a 29 Tudor (the highest production body style IIRC) in the condition of the eBay truck, I'd probably pass it by. But I think it's a good thing (assuming one has the resources, monetary and otherwise) to preserve the rare vehicles, even at a monetary loss. |

Re: 1931 Model A Ford Mail Truck for sale
I was interested in the one on ebay, and had a dialogue with the owner.
I am realizing I am too deep on too many projects and need to learn to back off. I have a lifetime of restorations already and dont need one more. As a matter of fact, fingers crossed the 41 convertible is sold on ebay this weekend. |

Re: 1931 Model A Ford Mail Truck for sale
yes, it sold for 7900 as Bob shows- but did it ever get picked up?
know I need to learn how to put the emojis on that Brent posts, with the guy laughing on his back in hysteria! My guess is ebay has a sell through rate of 60% on a good day. so many MIAs........... |
