wish I couold buy this one!

[harleyjj]

Figured I'd share this one. Looks like a nice survivor but I could be wrong?

http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/3431144596.html

I have no connection to the car just saw it for sale by me and thought I'd share.

[Jordan]

Wow looks like a really really nice car.

[Barry B./ Ma.]

That gets me, when they go through the trouble of advertising and don't put a price on it. I don't bother to respond unless I know the price.

[Tom Wesenberg]

Really decent and I hope it stays that way. Wonder what the price is?

Funny how the instrument panel got so rusty. Must have been a lot of hand prints on it over the years. I've seen finger prints on bearing shells and they can't be removed. That's why it good to keep polished metal oiled and not touch it.

[harleyjj]

I called and the price seemed very reasonable I just dont have the funds right now unfortunately. I figured I'd pass it along in hopes of seeing it saved instead of hot rodded.

If someone on here is interested in it I am willing to go inspect it in person.

$6500 is what I was told when I called

[Tom Wesenberg]

That should go fast.
I've seen poorly fixed and painted A's go for almost twice that amount.
I hope a TRUE Model A person buys it and keeps it original.

[harleyjj]

Tom Thats exactly why I posted it on here!!!

[SteveB31]

the price is in the ad....

[P.S.]

Yep price is in the ad.

I like how they say "NO RUST", but then if you look at the pictures, you see rust. This car has some rust on the inside- Gear shift, brake handle, instrument panel...

[1931 flamingo]

P.S.: True, but the cowl (where they usually rust, appears to be fine. JMO
Paul in CT And the price is right.

[Ross/Kzoo]

It depends what part of the country you are as to rust comments. In Ca. that may be considered rust around here that's patina. It doesn't look rusted out which is good, just some oxidation.

[Special Coupe Frank]

Looks like it has a cellular / honeycomb radiator.

Looks like a solid old car... wish it were closer...

Yep, they added the price AFTER I looked the first time.

Ross- Does the word "rust" have different meaning in different parts of the country? Rust is rust. So, if someone says (in all caps no less), "NO RUST", I expect to see no rust. Patina is patina, and that is understandable. However, it is frustrating that people have a rusty car and claim "no rust" still. Is it just me??

Marco- Your Model A website is still one of the best.

[eagle]

I myself would also describe the car as "no rust", as far as the pictures show anyway. When it comes to an old car, "rust" means rust through.

To me, when it comes to old cars and "No Rust" I take that to mean no rust out or holes caused by rust.

[John Duden]

Rust free....you arent gettin charged for the rust

[Russ/40]

Did anyone get a photo they can post? The listing is closed now. Just curious

[Marco Tahtaras]

A couple folks are talking semantics over the word "rust" while someone wise was using his time to purchase the car! It will be interesting to see if someone here claims to be the new owner. It was on Craigslist for about eight hours.

[Bruce in southern OH]

Maybe we will see the 29 parked next to the 28 in Lexington, KY this summer at the MARC National Meet,

[Tom Wesenberg]

I was wondering if we'll see it on ebay soon for an easy profit?

[Aerocraft]

Here are the pictures. Gar Williams

[Jack '29 Sport Coupe]

It's only called rust if you are trying to buy it, and it's called patina if you are trying to sell, lol.

Jack

[Stan/MO.]

Im pretty sure that the person that bought that "rusty car" is very happy with every bit of rust on it.

[Russ/40]

That is an amazing deal. I'd grab that in a second.

[Bruce in southern OH]

It is sold,

[harleyjj]

Sure hope it didn't go to a hotrodder

Buy it for the body (which looks un-molested), and toss out that frame!

Do you mean the unrestored one? If so, will it stay as is?
or the one Vince posted?

[harleyjj]

Bruce, let me know if it's as nice as it looked in pictures. Or if you guys come through Farmington Hills MI on your way back stop by MotorCity Harley-Davidson, I would love to see it!

[Bruce in southern OH]

Hey Tom, yes the unrestored one, it will stay as is, just living farther south.

Harleyjj, we are coming up 23, PM me with a cell and we can try to make arrangements if time allows.

[Bruce in southern OH]

The 29 Tudor "Bruce" is home now, traveled north to pick up and then returned late with car, (725 Miles) Dave unloaded this morning. Pulled both of his cars out for photos,

1928 AR Tudor "Marilyn" and 29 Tudor, has some areas with pen strip showing

Sheet Metal Very Nice, no rot, all glass rolls up and down fine

Runs great, lights, horn and everything underneath is clean and in great shape

Dave has some small marker lights, this is photo of a twist-in socket, without lens, all four fenders are drilled for these marker lights, would like some photos of cars you know of with this, some locations/counties/states required them.

Yes, that is me walking a tire back to our truck and trailer, long story!!


I will add more photos of an accident we had while going north after everyone looks and comments, sunny day in southern OHIO

[Tom Wesenberg]

Glad it found a GOOD home. By the pictures, I knew it would sell fast for the low price.

[columbiA]

Did you hit a deer? Looks like blood on the hiway.

[Bruce in southern OH]

You have heard the song " Count your blessing, name them one by One" well we have sang that and a new one!!
"Count your wheels, name them one by one"

It started, pickup truck jerked, once, twice, three times, moving left and right and then, smooth again. Looked in rear side mirror and saw one tire coming to a stop in slow lane. On the brakes now and off to side of road. ( over a dead deer in peices ) I told Dave we lost one of his trailer tires. Dave and I jumped out to see which tire had came off trailer, he said everything fine on his side. I yelled back that all tires good on my side. I then said we lost trailer spare tire, he said no it was in trailer. ( I looked to make sure, it was in trailer). Mean while cars slowing and moving into fast lane to avoid the tire back about 1/2 mile from us. He said you must have ran over a tire in the road. I told him I did not run over that tire I would have seen it in road, now cars slowing to avoid the tire. Then we discussed the missing tire, if all were on trailer, spare in trailer, all wheels on truck, where did it come from, THEN I looked under my truck, SPARE is gone!! I took off running south towards tire as I thought if someone hits that tire it will come sailing towards me at rocket speed, ( now I know I can run at least 1/2 mile ) Cars are now stopping in slow lane and trying to merge into fast lane as I get close to tire, slow lane now stopped with people in fast lane flying by not knowing why people are stopped. Finally got to tire and picked up tire and small steel tire carrier support. Out of harms way now and walking my tire along highway back to truck. Got to truck and loaded, got down under truck and the cable that supported the tire was broke, this let tire drop to road. It could have been very bad if tire had jacked up my truck and we lost control(going 65MPH), or wedged under trailer, tire crossed road and hit someone, the list goes on and on. I now like the old design of a hanger with support under tire and a 3/4" bolt and nut. I used to complain about how hard it was to lower but at least they lasted for years and years. My F250 is a 2000 with 220,000 miles, looks like the tire hides the salt when you spray off or even driving in rain it does not wash this area above tire.

Have not weighed tire and rim, but at least 50 or 60lbs

Running and now walking

[Richard Wilson]

Thanks for sharing pictures and both stories Bruce. Glad everything worked out on both accounts.

[harleyjj]

what a great looking car! I'm glad it went to a good home! thank god no one was hurt in the tire incident

[56 Fairlane]

Great story with happy endings, Model A safely to a good home, and the spare tire episode could've been worse. The underside of your truck looks like ones we see out here in the Noth Atlantic..

[Bruce in southern OH]

Truck came from Boston, MA. Area!!!!!!!!!

thanks Bruce great story

This can happen anywhere salt is used on the roads in the winter. In fact, I think it was last week either toyota (maybe ford) issued a recall in about 19 states that used salt to ck spare tire restraining hardware.
