keninman Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 This showed up in my Craigslist saved search. It looks like a great starter car, not sure if the price is a little high or not. https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/d/bluffton-1929-model-sedan/6894614821.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I find it hard to believe that it has not sold yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wetherbee Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I agree, sadly at that price it might get chopped up by someone with another bad idea for a rod... i bet bet it could be parted out for a profit as the body looks incredibly sound!

Gunsmoke Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Nice survivor but....Problem is a decently restored and running 4dr 1928 Ford can be had for circa $8K-$12K. This car would need at a minimum $12K-$16K to get it to that state, so if you got it for $1.00 you're still in the hole. I recently bought a 1929 Dodge DA 4dr Sedan with wire wheels in about this condition for less than $1000 Canadian (US$750). Got engine running properly and re-sold it.

28anut Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Interesting Ford factory goof......The cowl is for a Delux model as the body bead stops short at the firewall to allow for a snap on cowl band and cowl lights. Yet this cowl does not have any cowl lamp holes, nor does it have the cowl band retainer which spot welded on at the factory. Once assembled this car would have about a 1' gap of missing body bead where the hood and the cowl meet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Mereness Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Notice the repair of the windshield with another windshield installed over top The only problems with the sedans like this are that they are stick built and you end up rewooding or partially rewooding a car no matter what the unrestored condition.

I agree about restoring this car. I'm a buyer for any year, decently restored and running Model A Fordor sedans for $8,000 to $10,000. The closer to FL, the better. P.M. me if you've got one for sale. Thank you! Henry F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
