Anyone Know About This Car?
I saw this and said, WOW. Anyone know anything about this car? I'm not going to buy it, unfortunately as I am car poor already, but is this an original condition car? Obviously needs some work, but still.....

Re: Anyone Know About This Car?
I re-read the description, they call it an older restoration. Even so......

Also for sale on our swap page...
https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=265520 Seems like a give away price. I'm surprised it is still for sale.

Re: Anyone Know About This Car?
Looks like a really nice car. If I were currently in the market I may be tempted. But, for the purchase price plus another $20k for the resto you would be close money to buying a finished one.

Re: Anyone Know About This Car?
Don't buy it unless you can give them cash in hand. Too cheap may mean a scam. There is a scam out there, "husband died, have to sell cheap, send $ to a po box in dallas".
You or someone you know needs to see the car in person. No excuses like I work too much. |

Re: Anyone Know About This Car?
The car exists.The owner is a poster on here.i think it's realistic for what it is and needs.I'll bet he's sitting back having a chuckle over others jibber jabbering about his car.I knew the car from other sources,I haven't looked at it on ebay.

Re: Anyone Know About This Car?
How many vickys were made? does having the original engine raise price on these cars? what are all the benefits of diamond block? I have one and have noticed the fly wheel housing is locating pinned to the block, there are hardened exhaust seats, and a b cam. Any other things im missing?

If a car like this (or the other one posted in this thread) can be bought for $10-11k, the bottom has truly dropped out of the Model A market. . They are among the rarest and most beautiful Model As.

Re: Anyone Know About This Car?
Nice or not, I'm always suspicious when a seller is either too incompetent to take decent photos or too cheap to hire the 13 year old next door to take them. Cars pictured in shadows are the first 'red flag'.

The seller being incompetent with a camera or with words doesn't mean the car is crap. Often I'm the only one that that shows up and the seller is ready to deal on a truly nice car.

Re: Anyone Know About This Car?
It will sell. I just regret timing is bad for me to buy it. Body alone is worth the price if as described. Yeah the interior may reek etc. still hard to get into such a rare model at that price point.
