Mail buggy price inflation
Hope the link works...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1930Ford-Mo...4383.l4275.c10 This resided at my uncle's farm for as long as I can remember, until his estate auction in 2017. It did indeed get bought by an Australian for the coupe body, for $5000. It was not used in western ND as stated. Picture 11 is as it was, where it was, unmoved for all my life. Played on it many times as a child.

Re: Mail buggy price inflation
well the fella selling it has been doing this for a long time. can only guess hes made a lot of money doing it.
He was into woodies over 20 years ago and I believe he literally owns 100s of cars.......... |

That is in line with what he is asking in the rest of his auctions.

Re: Mail buggy price inflation
I don't know the history other than it coming from Montana. I'm 51 and my uncle had it as long as I remember; until the auction in 2017, it had sat in the same spot. I suppose if a mail carrier couldnt afford a jeep, he would build something like this to get through snow and muddy roads.
