Leif in Calif Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Definitely at the very top end of the current market, but great history. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/cto/d/coronado-1931-ford-roadster/7551460496.html My uncle with the same name bought this car new in 1931 from a dealer in Los Angeles. I grew up with this car and always loved it. I bought it from his widow in 1991. In 1997, I had it painted Washington Blue and Black, a standard color for roadsters. It is holding well with a few chips but no rust. It has always been garaged. I completely restored it in 2019 including a rebuilt engine, drive train and much more. It was done by experts in Ramona, CA, at Hansen Ford, recommended by Model A Ford Club of America, San Diego Chapter. All they do is Model A restoration. I have a complete list of what they did if you are interested. I drive it once a week around Coronado. It starts like new and drives the same. Also in 2019, I had new leather upholstery installed with a new top and one new rib all from LeBaron Bonney. So, it is a one family, two person owned car that has been well cared for and could last another 90 years. I am in my mid '80's and unable to care for it properly, so time to downscale. I have photos but unable to get them into this ad. Will email. (619) 762-0929 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Restoration costs in 2019 must have been significant. Hopefully it finds another long term caretaker. His best shot at his number will be via MARC or MAFCA. A lot of folks out there comprising the market for average to good Model As, but fine point, unrestored/untouched but really nice, or a car such as this one will most likely find the buyer who will spend a little more for a special car through the national club scene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif in Calif Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 I have a friend who just bought a similar roadster, older award winning restoration for $17K. That was "a deal" but with "a few chips" as stated, I would think low to mid 20's for this car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Mack_CT Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Agree. He will find that out in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
