Newbie looking for first A
Can you guys recommend website/s good for finding Model A's? I'm an EBay junkie, having found one of my Mustangs there, familiar with the MAFCA site and of course, the one here. It's looking like the Vicky is the way I'm going to have to go to find the most comfortable fit. Bill Last edited by BillEbob; 10-15-2017 at 07:29 PM. |

www.hemmings.com, and the Model A Restorer's Club site. www.modelaford.org The Antique Automobile Club of America also has ads in their print publication, and on their web site, but I think you must be a member to see them. I recommend joining. www.aaca.org

Re: Newbie looking for first A
Craigslist is a favorite of mine, but CL can have 'landmines'. Caveat emptor.
Here is a '30 R/S Sport(?) Coupe for 4500 (Its not my car). It's one of many A's for sale here in Southern California. I don't know about NM though. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/la...337925565.html |

Re: Newbie looking for first A
I bought my Model A Town Sedan off of the Hemings website. Usually lots of nice cars there....

Re: Newbie looking for first A
I look around the country on Craigslist and there are at least 400 Model A's of all types and conditions for sale over the last month. Many are over priced but I saw some good deals mixed in.

Re: Newbie looking for first A
Bill, the previous owner was tall and thin. He removed about 2" from the package tray and leaned the seat back. I'm 5'9" and 175 lbs. and fit comfortably. Happy hunting. Russ

Re: Newbie looking for first A
I’m also just starting to look—but I’m looking strictly for a Murray-bodied town sedan. So far Ive seen a couple listed by dealers, but I haven’t seen any in person. I’d much rather buy a project car if possible.

Re: Newbie looking for first A
I gained an extra 4 inches in my fordor by removing a carpeted trim panel on the bottom back of the seat and tapping my slides back. I didnt like how close the pedels were.

At this point in time, I am the exact opposite, after 4 spinal surgeries I have enough "scaffolding" surrounding my spine to start a good sized tower! I'm just looking for one that I can drive and occasionally polish!! After restoring 2 Mustangs I'll be doing good keeping up the regular maintenance on an A. Bill |
