Sorry....but I don't think I'd drive it. Maybe Cruella Deville would?

I’m surprised at how many LaDawri cars have come out of the woodwork this year. There have been several, in varying stages of ***embly in Craigslist and Marketplace. There have been some other fibergl*** sports cars and bodies listed but mostly the VW versions.

 

I think member @Nads had one years ago

 

This one’s right around the corner from me and I had no idea it existed…..

 

whats left of a t bucket show car
Marketplace - 1923 Model T | Facebook

New meaning to a Moredoor

 

Dang this is cool

 

Looks like a genuine '32 Ford front axle. Must be good chrome too compared to the rest of the poor thing.

 

I’d drive it

 

I see he has another T for sale. I see a piece of rear purple suspension from this one. Looks like it was used under the other one.

 

Baffling to me how something like that T could be left to deteriorate to that condition.

I agree. It's been posted before in the T-Bucket thread and it just is sad.
I doubt a big restorer like Galpin is going to grab it, so it's fate is uncertain.

30 Model A tudor
$5000
Geneva, NE

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1257105146436367/?

looks like A LOT of the work has been done.

 

The A model community (the purists) are fading away. I'd love that '30 just finished up stock. If it was not sooo close to being done, I'd be okay with making something hot out of it.
That Buick is missing so much, you're likely to spend twice the price to get the rest.

 

The A does appear to have a lot of really nicely done work finished on it. That said, it still needs complete paint and interior, including the top installed and gl***. Also says "not running", so no idea what kind of shape the drivetrain is in. And you can buy a really nice finished stock A tudor for $12K pretty much anywhere in the US.

How many people can do their own upholstery and paint, or cut a windshield and install it? What would it cost to have someone else do that work? Can you even get upholstery kits for these cars anymore, or would it all need to be done from scratch? I really don't know who the buyer for this car would be.

 

1940 Buick 4-dr
Norfolk, NE

$3800

That’s a nice looking Buick and well worth the money but did anyone catch the anatomically correct longhorn in the background

 

lol, missed that part... or parts

 

Well, when rusty incomplete Model A bodys are 2500 and nice older restos (with who knows what lurks) are 12-15K, I'd say it isn't crazy in price, IF you want a non-stock color and interior.

This does look painful…..

 

Big Balls in Cow Town!

One coast to coast trip in that Buick would be worth the price. Any breakdowns or roadside repairs would just add to the trip's memories.
