Late '31 Model A Ford - $9,000

[Leif in Calif]

the big question is...did it get parked 20 years ago do to a minor problem with the car, a major problem with the car, or a problem with the owner.

Wheels and front bumper are from a '28 / '29. Appears to be in great shape for the price. More pictures would be helpful.

Probably sacrilege to say it, but since it's already altered I would want to race this at Race of Gentlemen.

Ad says white wall tires with yellow rims... so it must not be recent photos.. or not the same car that is pictured in the ad...... something fishy here....???

You've probably figured out by now that I'm not a purist so I like the taller wheels and tires. I also like the idea of no fabric on the roof to deal with.

Agree that taller wheels and tires look OK, a lot better than yellow rims with whitewalls, to be sure.

These look like new photos, but maybe they're pre-problem/20-year-storage? What vintage is the other car in the first photo?

Paint looks pretty cool, although not original. I'd leave it.
