This 1930 Reo Flying Cloud is a very solid unmolested car. Wooden Spoke wheels in mint condition, solid sheet metal, easily restored or would make an incredible resto-mod. Mustang II front suspension also available. Numerous photos available upon request. $17,500 or best offer Edited August 14, 2020 by Mark Gregory (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Yeah, right, Lee. Sure. That is just what we like to do to very solid unmolested cars with Wooden Spoke wheels in mint condition and solid sheet metal. You bet we do. Ruin really good unusual old cars and take and make incredible resto-mods out of them. Just can't wait to see it with that there Mustang ll front suspension under it. What A GREAT idea........................ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Yes Carl I have been there with a 1927-24 Buick standard roadster several years back. The psycology of the seller was to threaten me with the dropping in of a crate 350 to make it go at 80MPH unless I would save it from him at $12,000. I hope the final buyer has it sorted and is enjoying it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Maybe those fellows who think modification is such a great idea should spend some time surveying the number of such cars advertised all over on-line already modified that way, with big prices on them that are for sale forever without a taker. That market is saturated very badly with way too many already. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Gregory Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 I received some pictures today of the 1930 Reo Coupe and if no one buys it he will be working on it this winter. He currently owns a 1926 Nash Hot Rod. Quote below. I currently run all the time my 1926 Nash Model 235 Coupe Mustang II front, Ford 9” on rebuilt stock leaf springs, SBC 305, with 350 Turbo Trans…fun driver been everywhere with it.

Doozer Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) It’s interesting that the seller uses the term “unmolested” in his ad to describe the REO. So is he saying that’s a positive thing, or that it hasn’t been made right yet. Lol what a crock.

auburnseeker Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 He meant unmolested as in he hadn't molested it yet. Stay tuned to see how he turns it into a cookie cutter resto mod that he thinks someone will pay 45 G for in red with a grey tweed interior. Just like the 31 Chevy, 31 Pontiac, 31 Ford and many otehr 31 Coupes at the same show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 My first running/driving car was a 1929 Reo Master coupe with rumble seat, that I actually drove to high school. It really was a great driving car. I eventually decided I preferred earlier cars and sold it. I sometimes wish I had kept it. I do hope this car gets well restored and enjoyed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
