I got a lead on 2 model A's , I don't know if they are coupes or what, the guy who wants to sell me the cars does not know or care what body style they are. I will see them in a few days. he says his dad owns them and wants them gone. " you have to take all of it " he says. music to my ears ! I like customs myself, I want to buy these to re-sell and make some money on the deal but I don't know what the tin is worth. are "A" frames worth any thing? do I only want the bodies? what sells? there sould be two cars, two extra frames, and four motors, plus a bunch of other "crap" all "A" parts I want to roll this at a profit but I don't need to make a killing, just fair. I hope to have some pic.s soon. thanks!
Take as much as you can haul and store. They are not making any more of the old stuff. It all has a value.
I'm no expert, and prices are all over the map... I've seen cowls for 50 bucks, and others for 250+...doors seem to get good$, depends on what the stuff is, hopefully you just fell into a goldmine! Whatever it is, if you can either double your money fast or get a car or the parts you want for free, after selling the stuff you dont need, you did ok. I'd be in line for a frame or a roller...
Buy it and put it on Epay. The euro is real good for the guys across the water and the are buying up lots of hotrod stuff (I have sold a bunch of stuff on Epay to the Euro's). Chris Nelson Kansas
Around here, I have seen tudors go for about $1,500, coupes for about $3,000, trucks for around $750. These were all very solid and decently straight bodies without frames. There was a very beat up and rusty roadster body at a swap I think last year that they wanted something around $4,000 for.
show me where they are and I will tell you... hehe I will help you in my truck and we will split up the goods. haha So if you can't buy it all mail me... I am looking for a A sedan. Good luck! blake
I'll trade you my packard for a coupe body. How was the swapmeet? Remember how I told you I was going top use a rader in a chopper? Well, one of my pals is having them cnc'd for motorcycle use in 16" 18" 21"
thanks everyone. Iam going after work tomorrow to look at them. I will take a camera. Harpoon, the swap was good, unloaded alot of parts, I must have sold everything cheap cuse I sold alomost everything I took with me. lets see that wheel ! Iam trying not to get my hopes up , but I can't wait to see what I find.
If you find an extra deck lid. Could you pick it up for me? I am looking for one for the roadster. Chris Nelson Kansas
