    Oh boy,

    I have been working with Model A's as long as I can remember. That one sir, is a clown car. Boy, just makes one wonder what people are thinking about.

    It is hard to see in the pics but the coupe body seems to be something one can work with.

    keep the body and doors and shit can the rest of that thrown together mess. that's just a bunch of junk put together..and i use that term loosely, to be a joke. that front end is not even attached..i don't even see a frame.

    let us know if you get it running in the next few days.

    It looks like a 32 chevy grille and headlight bar. Gotta be worth something.

  12. save the body and list the other parts for a while you never know who needs what out there.you could make a few bucks.
     
  13. Wow, you have 2 different kinds of "wagon" wheels, crazy, what are your plans for the body? What was the prev. owner going to try to do with it?

    Seen worse for sure.
     
  15. The body looks pretty good but man, what were they thinking? I think that flatford39 nailed it. Man, on second look that car is gross, start taking it apart soon.

    that was quite the mock up. looks like a few parts to sell, and a body to build a hot rod with.

    Did anyone get pictures of the clown?
     
  23. If you paid what the body is worth or less ya done fine. Think of the extra parts as barter material or stuff to sell to offset the cost of the body. You guys in CA have it good. There is nothing left in this part of the country that's not rotted into the ground unless it's in someones garage.

    The body looks in about the same or better shape as/then the sedan I looked at a couple of weeks ago and may still go back and try to make a deal on.
    The rest of it look like a bunch of pieces someone had laying around when they did the "lets take this stuff and make it look like a car" thing. As the other guys said, a body to build and some parts to sell to get some funds to work on it with. Not all that bad if you got it right.

    Hey, looks better than mine( I want but don't have one yet). Look at it this way, you are saving a cool model A from embarrassment.
