Re: Turn Signals
If you change to LED from incandescent bulbs, you'll need either a load resistor or an electronic flasher can. I run the latter with my LED indicators, a Narva 68249.

Re: Value of an Un-Restored Model A Engine
I recently sold a complete engine for $50, and told the buyer that if there's a crack, bring it back and I'll get another one out for you. It comes down to supply and demand. I have about twenty five...

Re: Prices going through the roof?
I don't think 20K USD for the Coupe is over the top. That would be around 30K AUD, which is about right from what I've seen here in Oz. Remember it's 2024, not 1974.
