    I came across these today and was wondering what you guys think should I buy them all as I can get them for $15,000 for all 4 of them.

    You want my honest opinion? I think that`s about 5000.00 to much! I see 2000.00 each. 2500.00 max each. Of course that`s just I see there. I`m sure others might pay a bunch more.
     
  5. i didn't bother finishing...you bought them right?

    If $15K CN is about $12K US, then I'd say they are priced well. You might be able to clean them up, swap some fenders around, sell off 3, and just about break even giving yourself a freebie. Of course, it all depends if you have that kinda cash, time, and space available.

    I don't think it's any kind of once in a lifetime deal. Probobly priced about right if your looking for four kinda rough model A's.

    They look like they are in ok shape but.........15K sounds a little high. However I have seen many rusty bodies laying in the middle of fields where the seller was asking way too much.

    Would you try and do something with them or sell them??

    The price is where the market is at. If you are looking for a project or four, the price looks o.k. For those of us that have too many projects already, the price may seem a little high. According to what things are going for on the internet auction, the price is in line or a little low.

    I see one desirable car, the standard couple. The other three aren't where the demand is.

    Yeah, if the price is negotiable, I bet you'd do pretty well. i'd love to have that green one.

    I tell you what. Buy them, sell off 3, then pull the body off the one you want to make a rod out of, and sell me the running gear with fenders.

    If you can get them for the equivalent of 10K US, you could sell three of them for 3K each, keep a coupe body, and sell me the running gear/fenders from the last one for the last 1K, assuming it runs/drives. Free coupe body! And I bet there's a metric shitload of parts that goes with, usually is with Model A collections.
     
  16. In my book the standard coupe is just ok the other two are just what I call roadsters with leg room (sawsall not included). Useless

    Hell, at the Decatur Swap Meet yesterday, I saw one that was in the same shape as those, and some crackhead wanted $7,500 !!! I started laughing when I saw how much he wanted, versus the condition of the car.

    Some other guy wanted $275 for a cowling, that was in the same shape as the one that a buddy of ours bought for $40 !

    The prices have just gotten fucking ridiculous for this stuff. Ebay has a lot to do with it, of course. A friend of mine bought a pair of finned Corvette valve covers yesterday, for $50. The same exact pair on Ebay sells for $100+.

    I'd like to have the 4 door. I don't think the price is to high, but it hurts to say that. Prices right now out of sight on everything.
