    thats right , the deals are still out there . i was ask to deliver a couple of old trucks to a body shop , it wasn't until the secound drop that i noticed an all original Model A Coupe and this Model A Hot Rod sitting under a carport . i kept telling myself that he would'nt sell , but i had to ask . i walked in and asked , what would it take to buy that old hot rod ? and his responce was 4 grand with a clear ***le :eek: trying to remain calm i offered 3 :D . we finally met in the middle :rolleyes: .

    the car was last driven in 2003 . it has a 350 small block that was stuck , but now runs . it also has a 350 auto trans , an s10 rear with ladder bars , and a non hamb friendly frontend . it needs a new master cylinder , but once it comes in we're going to see if it is road worthy .

    Not too shabby a deal there. The bolted together brake pedal might have been a deal breaker!:eek:

    $3,500 for all of that! The body looks to be in good shape and the lowers look good. It's already chopped, too. That frontend got it's *** whooped by the ugly stick but that can all be changed/fixed. From what little I can see of the steering/steering shaft, you may want to take a look at that, too.
    I would say you got the deal of the century there! Nice work my friend!

    Great score and I am really happy to hear that you already have parts to improve it. Well done.
     
  17. Looks like junk.
    I wouldn't have paid more than $8,000 for it.
    Damn good score.
     
  18. Awesome! Always ask, no matter how foolish it may make you look! Hey, want your money back on it??? See, now don't I look foolish, LOL

    BTW, love that truck in your avatar.

    As Ray May says, it never hurts to ask. I have driven by some that I think, naw, they won't sell that, and then I see someone hauling it away. As a sales manager once told me, ya gotta ask for the order, twice! ~sololobo~
