See if you can drive a Model A before you buy one, especially since you are into muscle cars!
My wife wanted a Roadster so I bought a 1929 Roadster for her for Valentine’s Day 2014. The first thing she said after driving it was “this car doesn’t have enough power.”
You have to get used to driving these cars in the slow lane. Maximum speed is 55 to 60 unless you have modified the engine. They don’t have acceleration like a new car and driving in town you’ll have people riding your bumper.
I paid $17,500 for our California car with both the body, frame and power train in excellent condition. The market for Roadsters in good condition is anywhere from $12,000 to $19,000 depending on the condition.
I suggest you check the Classified section on MAFCA (
www.mafca.com) site for an idea of the market.
Good luck,
