[ QUOTE ] I guess people in CA just throw this stuff away.... but on the right coast. This aint a bad deal. [/ QUOTE ] No we don't throw this stuff away, BUT we don't throw our money away either... You may want to get a little more time on this board before you start offering "good ebay deals" up for us "limp*****s"...
This Model A SOLD ( to a fellow HAMBer ) for a little less than $3000.....less than a month ago. http://community.webshots.com/album/49797539UFqvDM A little LESS than twice the money but 3 times the car. .
So let me get this straight, I must have a few hundred posts before I can let others on the board know about a decent deal on an old car for sale. Thank your your clearing that up. I must apologize. I still say... Complete 1930 Tudor body/frame/rearend 1948 59A Flathead 1938 3 speed trans 1935 Ford rear end. 40's Ford juice brakes (complete set of 4). 1935 Ford wheels wirestyle (sand blasted and primed) 1930 and 32 wishbones dropped front axle with perches and a spring 31 to 41 Ford spindels (round backs) 1 set 1948 Ford F100 steering box for $1499 is a decent deal. Hey, its not my stuff. What does everybody else think?????
oh, thats not a bad deal just looks like a ton of work for that car. I once got my**** chewed for knocking a post about SUV's just because my register date was new..... dont worry about it. I honestly wouldnt try to save a buck by buying that pile of someone else's cast offs. Save some money and buy something a little more complete. If all you can afford is junk, you will not enjoy this hobby. In that you will most likely burn out on all the work and sell it off and move on to another pile of junk and start the cycle all over again... I have seen it a thousand times. Some guys can start with real***** and see it through but most of the junk that gets posted on this site will never get done. with that said, I want all the***** in that auction just not the body.
I really don't know that much about prewar Fords, but that seems like a good enough deal to me. I don't see any big gaping holes in the body, and that's a much bigger start on a project than you'd get with just a body anyway.
I think it's a ok price if your looking for a project. Well price out the parts: Complete 1930 Tudor body/frame/rearend PRICELESS 1948 59A Flathead 200 bucks 1938 3 speed trans 50 bucks 1935 Ford rear end. free 40's Ford juice brakes (complete set of 4). 100 bucks 1935 Ford wheels wirestyle (sand blasted and primed)100 bucks 1930 and 32 wishbones 80 bucks dropped front axle with perches and a spring 100 bucks 31 to 41 Ford spindels (round backs) 1 set 50 bucks 1948 Ford F100 steering box 100 bucks
SHEEEEIT! looks like a GREAT deal to me. at least at $1500. there is alot of good parts there you might spent a grand on gas going to the swaps to look for these parts. i'd want to see a couple better pics of the body before i bid but from the one available it looks to be real solid. just lots of surface rust. looks like a hell of a start for someone that knows what they are doing and wants to build a 40s era hot rod. i say thanks for the heads up, newbie ... by the way, do you know Sammy (BUTT REYNOLDS)? he lives in the same town as you. i've been there so i know it ain't that big. seems like everyone should know everyone ...
I think it looks like a decent deal. Take a close look people. That is a DROPPED axle I believe? $300+ if we're talking ebay money - and that's where this thing is advertised. I'd like to know where all of the $50 spindles and $100 juice brakes are? Gooch - Not arguing, just thought you'd want to see some progress on a project that was started with some real nasty stuff and has been on a small budget ever since. I'm building the car that never should have been built but I'll be driving it this spring. Before:
Hey Grimlok SWEET rod Wow!!!! Don't want to high jack the post but would love to see a few more pictures. As for the prices, I'm a cheap-o .
Thanks. There are other pictures I'm sure if you do a search...probably more than there should be. Hell, I was reluctant to post this one - I was afraid it was becoming the next "Mosquito". continentaljohn - I am fully with you on the cheap**** thing. If I broke down a list you could put free next to a lot of the pieces on my car. There'd also be a lot of "thanks" on that list too. I was just thinking in the context of ebay - which I'm sure we can agree is a completely different world.
