suchan Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 We could use more photos, but also more info. Is it yours? If so, do you have clear title? Does it run? If not, is the motor frozen or free? Any rust? Is it complete? I think those are the basics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph65 Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) It is my fathers car, the title is clear he drove it into the garage where it is parked at now in 2009 - there is a little service rust. And on two fenders there is a bolt hole that has some rust that he said should only require patch weld. And there is a dent in a fender that he said could be hammered out. As far as complete - he says it needs glass the braces for the roof frame and to be upholstered. I do have more pics but for some reason it only allowed me to load 3. I have 13.

Steve_Mack_CT Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Not unrealistic if body is as good as dad says it is. An afternoon spent seeing if you can get it running, even off a temporary gas can, would be time well spent if you can do it. Also allow you to snap some outside pics. Post it on Fordbarn and Model A section of this forum as well. Not a lot of wood in coupes, looks like ypu have a new kit for the roof which is nice. Good luck with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph65 Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 Yes that would be great but he is 76 and not in the best health and I don’t know how to do that so this is what it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 It looks like it would be a good doable project for someone wanting a model A. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flivverking Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Great going Mr. 15 year old and good luck! When I was that age I bought a similar coupe(all one color LOL) for the going rate of $500.00 in 1976. I drove it the night I brought home, peeing water out the tail pipe with an inside crack cylinder head.. Today that 1976 500 bucks is just under $2,400 in 2021 buying power. If you double it to a grand in '76 it would be like paying $4,800 to buy the ad car above in 1976. .No way would anyone pay 1,000 bucks for that unrestored coupe in 1976. But they will today spend the 1976 equivalent of $4,800 (plus$ ) on such car. (Are you following my drift? (Cuz I'm not.) Funny in a sad way, how most of the upper class and new breed lower class AACA folks would rip this old car down as not even a parts car, if were a '30 Buick or Cadillac and wine about being upside down and not worth restoring and all that poo poo ! Thank goodness during the golden age of hobby vintage car collectors and restorers ,most all didn't have that piss poor attitude or we wouldn't have so many great old cars around today! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Congratulations on the sale. Hopefully the young man will finish the project and develop a life long interest in old vehicles. Hopefully it won't turn into another hotrod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
