Out of the Barn Group

Anyone familliar with this Model A special Interest region - I think they are a subset of either MARC or MAFCA.  Trying to see just how active they may be up here in the NE area.

 

Thanks

What special interest region?

Dave, I had an "A" tudor till around fall of 2008, when I had the car I remember hearing of a special interest group or region called "the out of the barn group" - focusing on unrestored, or "barnfind cars" well BEFORE the term was made so popular by junk TV and such.  From what I read at the time a lot of these cars were mechanically sound but pretty much left alone cosmetically.  Interested in seeing if this group is still around or active.

 

Getting back into Model As - I am expecting delivery of our new '30 Deluxe Roadster tomorrow morning.  It has had a good going through mechanically, but sports 1950s paint and what I think is a replacement interior from the same era.  It would fit right in with that sort of group until we get around to a proper restoration.  Assuming all goes well I will put up some pics over the weekend. 

 

Now if I could just get that load of Model A parts I sold off after the car was sold....

The Ford Barners will probably know.

Yep but was curious if anyone here had any inkling as well, Dave.

 

Well, the "A" arrived and provided a great excuse to get nothing else done but playng with cars today!
