Re: 1930 Ford Model A 4Dr (Inherited Don't Know Much - HELP)
Just my thoughts it will definitely need tires and tubes, witch could easily run north of 800. Dollars. I love the colors Ford maroon and black. If it was I buying the car it would be worth so much more if the motor and transmission are good if not you could have to spend north of 4000 dollars witch I feel are very conservative estimates .
Best of luck to you I wish you all the best. |

Look at the body tag above the fuel bowl on fire wall might be able to cross reference and find out what you have

Re: 1930 Ford Model A 4Dr (Inherited Don't Know Much - HELP)
You may already know, but if you are going to resuscitate the car do it correctly. Before attempting to start, or even turn the motor over - drain the oil/drop the pan and clean it and the oil pump screen, add fresh oil, drain/flush gas tank-lines carb/add fresh gas, clean/service the plugs/points, drain/flush the cooling system, add an upper hose coolant filter, lube the generator/distributor/water pump, etc., etc.
You will prevent a lot grief, am speaking from my experience. Last edited by 30 Closed Cab PU; 08-22-2019 at 04:20 PM. Reason: Added info to flush out fuel system. |

Re: 1930 Ford Model A 4Dr (Inherited Don't Know Much - HELP)
The big question mark in my head is: why did you never see it run? I'd REALLY like to know why your dad never drove it recently because it really does look like a nice car. It'd be great if your local club guys could come over and get it going.
Personally I'd say get it out and clean it up. It'll make any buyer salivate just that much more.

Re: 1930 Ford Model A 4Dr (Inherited Don't Know Much - HELP)
Speaking as someone who bought a Model A from someone who was (a) selling their late father's car and (b) didn't know what condition the engine (which hadn't been run for awhile) was in, the uncertainty of that really depressed the price I was willing to pay. Just putting in the work that 30 CCPU cites above and getting the engine to run, even just briefly, I think would have a big effect on the asking price.

Re: 1930 Ford Model A 4Dr (Inherited Don't Know Much - HELP)
based on your pictures it seems like a very nice and complete car. get an appraiser to give you a value on it. $15 grand for it and the 62 Chevy would be highway robbery... Just my opinion.... dont let anyone push you into a deal you might regret.
i have a 1930 coupe almost the same color........ pics of her car... https://docs.google.com/presentation...it?usp=sharing |

Re: 1930 Ford Model A 4Dr (Inherited Don't Know Much - HELP)
As noted above, it isn't original. The four blade fan, sealed beam headlights, and it appears that the data tag on the firewall has been painted over, then has peeled, so that indicates a repaint. I agree that you should contact the local club, and I bet they would come over and get it running. That would be a huge plus. And the 15 grand is a steal price.

I went ahead and set up a site for items we are deciding to sell from the Estate. It is by no means complete but you will find pictures of the Model A under the Antique Autos Tab. I know my asking price is a bit high but I'm only asking it is by no means a firm number. Thanks for your interest!! |

Re: 1930 Ford Model A 4Dr (Inherited Don't Know Much - HELP)
Good afternoon...I would contact the closest Model 'A' Club of MAFCA or MARC and ask for some help in getting the old girl running. If she has not run in a while, then oil in the cylinders and clean out the valve area and drop and clean the pan. Use a little auxiliary fuel tank of a gallon or so tied to the hood supports. If she starts and runs well than cleaning the tank is open to prior or after the sale. If she has runs recently, then I would change the oil to fresh oil and flush the radiator and fill it back up and hang a sign on her. $10,000 to $15,000 according to the advice of the local club.
