The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Value of an Un-Restored Model A Engine

Do I want to get "out" of the Model A Hobby? No, I enjoy driving my Model A's, and love to work on them - even when they frustrate you with a simple fix.

As I said in original post, I no longer see a need to have all these Model A engines in storage, last count was 20. Would like to 'thin the herd down', and maybe keep 2 of them. Have them mounted 2 per pallet, tucked up on pallet racking, easy to get to with the fork lift.

I have no desire to tear apart the blocks, selling the good parts, salvaging the rest. I have enough projects around here.

Just curious with the new Burtz block, if there is even a market for someone to buy 'barn-stored' Model A engines, that are close to 100 years old.
