Re: A Matter of $$
Best thing ever did was buy an older restored model A coupe. Have put 10,000 miles on it in two years and never looked back. My car was represented well, hats off to the seller.
I always wanted a Model A, looked my wife in the eye, manned up and said I am buying a Model A. My search began. What I did, emailed all the presidents of the Model A clubs in our state describing what I wanted and asked if they would forward my email to their club members.
1) a car in good condition
2) no rust
3) not a show car
I received four replies from various club members. The first one I went to look at I bought, it was exactly what I was looking for. Straight body, no rust, engine rebuilt, brakes rebuilt and from 20 feet looked perfect.
I am not a mechanic by any means, how ever can to small things with the car ie. oil change grease ie it, adjust carb etc. I bought it for $9100
DO NOT BE IN A HURRY TO BUY, join a club as that is where the knowledge is and people knowing who has what car for sale.
