Maybe the proverbial 32 Ford in a hanger!?

[donsrods]

I'm not going to ask you how much has been offered, but here is what I see. A decent A coupe body is worth $ 2,000 to $ 2500 in todays market. I also see some 40 ish Ford front brakes, and maybe a couple of usable other parts. So realistically, $ 2500 to $3000 tops would be my offer. But every area has different prices and in today's market that could be high.

Decent coupe bodies up here fetch $4k and sometimes much more up here.

Prices are not that high here.

Went out to look at the car in the hanger this morning and it turns out it's not a 32. It's a 30-31 Model A Coupe. Still not a bad find.

Did I call it or what? Seems every old coupe is a 32, no matter if it's really a 29-31!

It's a hack job, but good thing is there are a lot of repop stuff available. All steel is better than glass any day. Hope the lady doesn't listen to the gold diggers and takes you up on your price. Good luck!!![cl

so i understand being disappointed in it not being a 32....

but come on man! a 30-31 A seems like a good find in my book![cl

hope u get it- or at least help find it a "good home"

 

[Neverdone]

Looks like there could be some good stuff there worth saving if you can get it for a good price....

I'll take it if you don't want it

You obviously have too much on your plate right now. Let me take this one off your hands.

Thanks, but it's more of a space and money issue.

I did some research on the seat I found. I looked up the drawing number and spec number and found this type of seat was used in a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk. That was the plane the Flying Tigers used. Cool

Now you need to find it's mate for your new coopay.

Nice little A-bone. Thinking it will look pretty sweet riding high on Deuce rails with a tri-power smallblock.

Brought the Model A home today. Removed it from the Hangar where it has resided for the past 40 years. The previous owner had bought to make a Hot Rod and never got to it. Too many projects and now he's run out of time. He does have other cars and planes that has kept him occupied.

Front hydraulic brakes.
