1930 A

[BUSTEDKNUCKLE]

Hello everyone, Its been a while since I posted anything here. I sold my 50 F-1, and bought this model A. It seemed like a decent deal so I brought it home. Got some pics. What do you think? I paid 2800 for it. NO cancer anywhere, I will be selling the hood, fenders,and mics parts I dont need.

2800? I think ya got a deal on it......

I'd say you got a deal on it too. I just looked at a 27 T for 3000 obo and it was in pretty good shape all over and everything was there, but the engine ( original flathead) was locked up. I went home to talk the wife in to letting me have it and when I went back for it a few hours later it was gone! Owner said he let it go for 2400! Ugh

Great looking car, I think you did okay.

30 Model A

Thanks guys, it makes me feel better. I had a guy tell me that it was only worth about 2000 at the most. I will start on it after Thanks Giving, Hope to have it drivable in March when my son comes home from Bagdad. I will post on my progress, and as always your coments will be helpful. Thanks Curt

Nice score. I'd say you got a real good deal on it. I've seen a lot less go for a lot more. I would feel pretty good about that purchase if I were you.

a sport coupe is just a thin slice away from being a roadster...

That's a great start. Have fun!

Curt you did very well. Model A bodies are starting to get nuts now that '32's are drying up. We paid $ 2300 for just a tudor shell and had to drive 13 hours each way to get it. We saw some banged up bodies at Daytona going for lots more than what you have in the whole car. Coupes are bringing even more money, and yep, you are just a slice away from a roadster there.

WIshing your Son a safe return home.

The sports coupe would bring $4000 in south Texas . I've sold less for more. TP

Hey Curt

Curt, From the pic it looks like your son might be a Marine. If he is and is stationed at Camp Lejeune I would be glad for you to give him my name and phone # and when he gets home I'll be glad to have him over for a home cooked meal and just to hang out. If he's like you and likes old cars he'll love it here because I've always got something going on. We love our Marines. In fact if anyone on this site has a child at Camp Lejeune I'd be glad to have them over or if y'all are coming here to visit them I'll furnish a place to stay for a few days. Just let me know. Harleyboy

Special Thanks

Thanks HARLEYBOY, you are a very special person to open your home to others. (THANK YOU) IN CAPS MY FRIEND. My son is army, and a medic (EMT) but is stationed in Colorado. THANK YOU AGAIN, AND YES GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS AND OUR FAMILYS HERE. CURT
