I do not think it is a give a way price.


If you look at the pictures very carefully, it looks like the car is in need of some work to make it dependable and presentable. I am NOT talking about restoring the car but doing the necessary repairs so it can be enjoyed.
Tires, and you would want to do something with the wheels while you are at it.


Brakes?


Steering?


Suspension?


Plus the missing parts?


Start adding everything up and you will have some money in it.


For me in California, I would also have the cost of getting it home.


It appears to be a good price and may be a little more but I would think you should have to buy it for 12.5K or less to be a good deal.


I like the Vicky's and purchased locally a steel back several years ago.


It is driver quality and needed some work to get it really road worthy but I have less than 20K in it and while it is not a restored car by any means, it looks good going down the road.


Lay people think it is in perfect condition but a real Model A person will see the faults in the car.


Some day, when I get some of my other projects done, I may get more involved doing work on the car but for now, it is just fine as it is. I drive it around to local events and enjoy the car.


Please understand, this is just my opinion.

I would take a chance on this , I always wanted a Vickie , but my “better” half says no more cars....
It is always a good idea , no matter how good the pictures are to go see it in person, got soaked on a 29 Fordor that was billed as museum ready by bidding on it based on pictures alone. The sad thing was it was only about a hundred miles away. I will never make that mistake again....

Chris,
I value your opinion and agree. I have looked at vickys for awhile now and opening bid is fair, but I am betting there will be no takers. For not much more, one can buy a turnkey car and head on down the road.........

Sometimes you just cannot help but shake your head in disbelief at all the assumptions and fabrications some of y'all come up with. Even more saddening is how you publicly blistered him when you were discussing his 400A he posted about here a few months ago.

The current seller purchased that Victoria from my late-friend's widow, a little over two months ago (in late April of this year) in Maryland.

See the reply #34 at this Fordbarn link:

https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...=253127&page=2

Here is a photo of it just prior to that sale in late April:

.....and here is the one for sale on eBay:


The known ownership history of the car was written on a piece of paper in the drivers side door pocket.

Upon closer inspection of the photo of the one on eBay, it looks like the body and hood (and upholstery) of my late friend's Victoria was put on a different chassis. This is obvious since the original chassis, engine, plating, radiator and radiator shell, green wheels (to match the green pin stripe), era step plates, etc were in super nice restored condition (see above photos to compare the before and after) and the original rear fenders and running boards were also super nice and correctly restored. Also now gone are the side mount brackets, the original trunk rack on the back (had original wood grained metal slats, etc), the outside red view mirrors and restored original bumpers.

I am sure however that the body and upholstery are from my late friend's car as shown by the old window stickers (in the windshield and passenger side rear window) along with the tatty mouse eaten interior.

If Keith True knows the car and says it's ok as well as the seller stating the various issues, no need to come up with disparaging replies. Brent's post is spot-on.

The price on the ad here on the Ford Barn is $10.5. The price on the Craigslist ad is $10.5. No need to have someone bidding against you on eBay. Go direct to the seller either through the ad on the Barn or the one on Craigslist and make a deal.

also as a side note- the engine being sold with this car- diamond A block, is the one from the A400. Brad has clued a potential buyer as to what he is buying.
