Wow, ten year anniversary. Did you ever get it running?

Car has been left in the found condition. The
Gibbs oil is still doing its job of preserving everything. I may shoot a video of the car for YouTube one day.

I miss seeing Toms responses to the threads. He had a lot of insight.

Is this the car that was found in Washington, DC? I seem to recall that. Please share the back story for those of us who may not know.

Yes this is the car from Washington DC. Parked in 1938 under a row house. Water got to the front end,rotted the frame. Steering column was missing and the torque tube.
Pin stripes are very nice, transmission is on a stand now,unbelievable how it clicks into gear.
When we look at items such as clutch,starter,brakes,they look brand new. Amazing piece of history.

Thanks, Wick. Does the car only have 1,370 miles?!?. Link to the original post, if you can.

Yes that's the original mileage.

Holy moly...

I was talking to Mark Maron at Model A Days last weekend about the car he bought from Don Bevins. Not sure of the mileage, but maybe around 2,000? I asked if it was the lowest mileage Model A in existence? He said he didn't know, but if my recollection is good, your would beat his.
