Ford Model A cut-away head complete with after-market packing.

You should add "Mouse nest included at no extra charge. You need to supply your own mouse".

Rare air cooled version. --I don't see any cracks ---just the ventilation opening.

[Art Bjornestad]

Do not fail to mention the vintage spark plug and specify that the original style water pump will be included.

Some rust, should be easily restorable.

[HoarseWhisperer]

The head looks fine without my eyeglasses on.

Then again, when I saw the thread entitled "Radiator Baffle", I was searching for where to send money for the "Radiator Raffle".

A little JB weld and you're on your way.

I have a matching engine for that head. Been waiting for the clean cast price to get back near $200 a ton. I was working a bunch of OT when things were at their peak in Feb. as far as prices. Not sure I could have found enough to fill the trailer with all that snow, so likely it didn't matter. Rod

I doubt baverstocks head puller would have and a chance on this one, It had been sitting under a oak tree since 1966, no one has talk about the homemade puller note number 4 plug hole the plug was tap and a thread rod inserted to have pressure, Look close at the water pump stud a port a power was inserted there and weeks of soaking,Would not move so i used something called a air hammer being careful not to hit the block,
It paid off the block as it turn out the block was very nice no cracks until machine shop got it but had it fixed, never used a gord baverstocks head puller if it would have got this off i would have quit my job and went on the road advertising for them, you know on second thought i do have a forklift LOL

The most overused description of junk seems to be "all the hard work has been done".

Or....."just needs a little tlc"........

As for listing I'm thinking "Genuine Ford Model A rat condo".

[tamagrouchy]

You forgot to mention the "PATINA" that's a big one often used.

[WTSHNN]

What about Rat Rod? Every rusty model a part includes the word Rat Rod at some point.

[Bruce Lancaster]

"was probably on a vehicle that ran when parked"

[Bruce]

Advertise this one under "rat rod." Harry's right. Just needs some love.
Oh. And it is obviously "ready for paint."

[ursus]

Mention that it is a rare and greatly sought-after original Ford NOS part that was found at the estate stale of a highly respected and, now, dearly departed Model-A restorer. Be sure and attach one of those red and white Ford script tags to it.

[HoarseWhisperer]

That's good but, don't directly say that it is rare and NOS. Always, start out with "I've been told that it is rare and NOS".........
Reduces accountabilty. Oh, and change your name from Allen.

[tamagrouchy]

Don't forget to put a plug in for your other RARE, parts you'll be listing later! Like the matching engine BLOCK, front and rear ends pulled out of a swamp <<<more patina, AND last but not least Genuine HENRY sheet metal, (the parts that are left after cutting out the rust.........) Of course all from the estate of an esteemed Model A restorer and collector. Funny, you can tell by all the authoritative comments we saw a LOT of fine original parts like this head on flebay already!

Awww...hell...that'll buff right out...

[tamagrouchy]

Yep, a little Ford green paint and it's good as new! Heck, I'd call it "restored original" in the flebay ad!

[Karl]

No add is complete without the words "No dreamers or Tire kickers " LOL Karl

[Craig Lewis]

We haven't tested this. We know it's for a Model T because it's old. Will combine with other items to increase shipping costs.
If not completely satisfied you can return it for for a full refund less the $10xx handling fee and freight charges you pay both ways.
We aim to please...occassionally we miss...God bless.
