1930 Model A, no not a barn find, but close

Hello, I'm a newbie to this site, and looking for advice on this Model A. Friend of mine's father owned it for over 40 years. Father passed away quite a few years ago and the car has sat in there garage. It gets started every couple years. It is very solid and has no rust issues and can be driven. They are considering selling it and I am very interested. I don't have alot of knowledge about these, I have a couple 1st gen camaro's. Any help on a value on this and anything else I need to be aware of about these would be greatly appreciated. So far my only plans for it would be just to clean it up and drive it, then decide if I would make any changes. Thanks for the help.

 

Buy it, get it roadready, drive it and love it forever!
Model As are forever.

 

I noticed it has an oklahoma tag on it.
Great find, looks as solid as they come.

 

BUY IT, think of it as an investment.

 

Yup, its Oklahoma car, I have family down there. Thats how I met the owners of it.
Family is up in Woodward.

 

buy it clean it up, and drive it.
have fun with it..
ask them what they want for it..if you have that much..buy it,, thats how much its worth

 

I think they want $6-7000 for it, somewhere in that range.

 

BUY IT. 6-7000 canadian is way cheap

 

I think you are asking a biased group... We LOVE Model A's around here!!! check out Elrod on here. he a a very nice scocker/hot rod. IMHO.

Put me down for another "Buy it!" vote!!! Heck, I want another one...

 

buy it, drive it, then decide what you want to do with it.

 

Do it..

thats a great price

 

HELL YEAH MAN! Looks like a sweet car in good shape. Is it still in Okie land? You can get plenty help down here if it is. My first car was a '31 tudor stocker - why the hell did I ever let it go??? Buy this A and drive it!

 

If its all as clean as it looks in the pics then your really on to a winner. Thats a really good price , its worth that and then some all day long.

Like everyone has said just go through the running gear, make sure it steers and stops safely and then enjoy it. No need to even clean it, with that little amount of dust it will blow off in the wind first trip out

Good luck. Paul.

 

thats a great deal IMO and its looks totally bitchin! I'd be all over it

 

There are hundreds, if not several thousand, Model A Fords, restored or nice originals, sitting unloved and unknown in garages of older generation men or their widows or children which are waiting to be found and brought back to life. This is one of them.

 

Price is right. Buy it.

BUY THE BUGGER!

Sounds and looks like a great deal to me.
Don't let it pass you by.

 

Yes its still in Okie, Im heading down in 2 weeks and after reading all these replies I better get some more money out for the trip. It is as clean as it looks, just dusty from sitting for so long. They also have one of the model A's replicas with the pinto drivetrain in it I believe. It looks better than the black one. Cars are not advertised anywhere, they aren't going anywhere.
Here's another picture of a car that I have no idea what it is, Im sure you guys will. Same guy owns this one, has a few of these bodies laying in the grass

 

What solid looking Model A
That is worth that price all day long...
That car is not one I would modify.
Its a beauty.

 

doooooooooooooooooo itttttttttttttttt
best investment, a hell of a lot better then the stock market right now!!!

 

You can look at completed sales on E-pay to get an idea of what similar cars are selling for. That one looks like the cream that was getting skimmed off the top in the mid 1960's when we wouldn't take a second look at the stuff that's getting drug home now. It would be a shame to cut up one like that for a hot rod though. imho of course.

 

Buy it even if you have to borrow the money.You will regret it if you don't.That is a real bargain.Buy it even if they ask a little more.That yard art looks kinda like a 20s Dodge to me.Get all the old bodies and make some money to nullify the price of the Model A.

 

Where are you in Ontario? That car looks great, I vote buy it aswell! I'd also grab all the bodies you could...but I'm a pack rat!

 

Cheap price for a piece of history. Go get it! It's artwork.

 

Don't assume that they want go away; Buy it and enjoy it. Scott

 

Thanks for the info. Like I said, I dont know much about them other than I've always liked them. He has quite a bit of that "yard art" laying around. Guess I need a bigger trailer. I have quite a few pictures of his cars.

 

Just dont give any money for the one with the Pinto drive train.

 

Shay = Fiberglass = Pinto

They're like malted milk balls: tasty on the outside, POISON on the inside!

 

That is a steal, bottom line, you will have no regrets, get it home, the sooner the better
