Did you put an ad anywhere else? A want ad in the V-8 Club website classifieds and an ad in the V-8 Times magazine would also help you. Also post an ad in Hemmings Motor News and Old Cars Weekly. Also try this website www.americandreamcars.com. or this site; www.motorheadtrader.com. You need to advertise in more than one spot or check more than one website.

It is getting harder to find non hotrodded any 33/34 fords these days.
The counterman at advanced auto laughted when he heard my 1933 ford was 50 HP... Seems the new generation wants the 33/34 body with a 400 hp hemi engine.... crazy...

Ora, so you are not buying that victoria? What happened?

[ora masters]

frank i had offered him $17,000.00 it had 16 inch tires and wheels he said he had 17 inch wheels with no tires the 16 inch tires were just rollers he wanted to take the rollers of an put the 17 wheels with no tires on or wanted $500. more i said no way he said good day and hung up i may have made a mistake but $17,000.was $10 more than old cars price guide you win some and loose i guess i lost

[trainguy]

Ora, I think the guy did you a favor!The car sounds like a money pit.Be patient one will show up at a fair price.Phil

[roadster36]

17's are not worth 500 bucks unless they had decent tires on them. I was surprised to see what they sell for when I was looking for a spare set. There were several sets on the auction site for the 100 dollar range. It costs more to ship them them to buy them. The car you are looking at is a money pit, the guy selling it knows that.

[ora masters]

36 the 16,s with roller tires is what he wanted $500. for they are a dime a dozen around here this car had all matching numbers was a big reason i wanted the car the body man that did my last two cars a 28 rdst pick uk and 48 coupe is a retired pipe fitter ho is as good as a proff body man betwen fishing trips does this as a hobby you would not believe what he charges an hour he is also a friend of mine as you can see my spelling is not very good when wife is not here

Hi Ora, For me part of the whole "thing" with early Ford's was being able to do most of it myself. I still had to farm out chrome and upholstery, etc. Many times after the cars were done I went off onto another project. When I got closer to retirement I put a higher value on my time and talent and realized that it made a lot more sense for me to buy what I wanted already done or close to it. I wanted a '34 roadster and spent several hours each day doing research and through that I found many other cars. My phaeton, my Victoria, my cabriolet's,my roadster's and a few other were all located by accident. I wasn't looking for any of the other cars, only the roadster. I can tell you that Victoria's in the condition you are seeking are not that common. If I were you I would submit an ad in the Early Ford Club V8 Times and describe your situation and your needs. There are people out there who place want ads claiming to be "collectors" etc. who seem to find many cars out there. I will keep my eyes open for one for you. The Victoria I have was found locally and is one of the best one's I have seen since I was a kid in the '60'. I consider myself fortunate to have stumbled upon it. - Dennis

In case it don't work out for you:

If you are a member, then you get one free advert in the V-8 Times every year. Check the sheet that comes with your membership card. There should be a coupon for a free ad in the V-8 Times. Will keep my ears and eyes open for you. Good luck.

Not to tell you your business but.... if it was me in your situation, I would try to lock this deal up with an appropriate down payment and the balance due "ON APPROVAL" AFTER YOU HAVE TAKEN A LOOK AT IT.
You don't want this guy selling this out from under you. I think, from personal experience, that, while it burns you to miss-spend money, regrets are a lot harder to live with.
Good Luck

[ora masters]

yes topless i have bean tempted to do that and still might
