What are these?

A friend of mine called me to come try and help him sell some old cars. In the field I found two cars that I was unsure about. One seems to be a relatively compete model A roadster the other is whats left of a four door sedan. I was hoping I could post some pics and the knowledgable guys on here could tell me what he had.

 

first one is a 28-29 ford model A roadster, second i'd guess is a mopar, unsure of the year.

 

X2... the sedan is definately a mopar. Look for an oval alum tag on the firewall that should say DeSoto, or Ply or Chrysler

 

I was thinking 1928 on the roadster, it still has the flathead four, transmission and rear end. I'll check the mopar for the tag. Whats a reasonable price for me to ask someone to haul them off?

 

No tag on the mopar, I can see where it might have been. There is a knob on the dash that says "freewheeling IN", though.

 

The second one looks like a '31 Chrysler , I have a cowl that is identical to the one shown but could be a year or two earlier.The body line in the middle of the windshield cowl goes to a point towards the middle as does the line in the sunvisor. Rob.

 

Haha, sorry. I meant, what's would be a reasonable asking price to sell them to someone willing to come pick them up.

 

The sedan is a 31 Plymouth .... same dash and body lines as my coupe. The rear window should be oval shape...

 

..also on the sedan; look for the large VIN tag on the pass side front door post between the hinges. It will say SERIAL NUMBER xxxxxx.

Some states like mine, you can register a no title car if you have a legal unaltered VIN tag...

 

I'l give $1,200 for the roadster.

 

Funny to see that the roadster is stripped of just about all the accesories but the gas cap is still there.

 

I'm sure he would accept that. Is that the going rate on a piece in that condition?

 

There is a suprising amount of pieces still with the car, the head has been pulled and is still in the car as well as the headlight bar. I thought it was a pretty interesting find.

 

If the A has a engine block, it has the sereial number stamped in it, that is the VIN, and that is how I got my registration. Tracing of the VIN and DMV does a search and if it isn't in use then it's yours and you apply for a lost registration, and insure it so it can be liscensed and you get a current registration....

then you do the easy part, make a traditional rod out of it. Too bad some goon broke off a frame horn.

It depends on who you ask really, this ones pretty rusty I think $1,200 is pretty fair. if he's willing to part it out he could probably make a few more dollars. I just want the body.

 

The roadster if definitely a 29 not a 28, but there is sweet FA difference really.
