Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
Hey Pinesdune, a friend of mine has an old snowmobile simular to that. It was eguipped with a single cyl engine mated to a Model A transmission. I donated a spare trans to the project. He has over 100 sleds, so you never know when he'll have it restored. Jeff

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
That is almost identical to my May 1928 Standard Roadster. The one I am trying to fit side curtains on to.
Does anyone know if that was the style of seat, large pieces of cloth without lots of rib stitching. I know my car has the wrong recovered seat and I would like to put it back to the original style. |

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
This roadster has the US style stamped rear engine mounts. The other Canadian cars I have seen have the cast or forged rear engine mounts.
I wonder when that changed? |

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
Wonder how long before it is re-listed 'cause the winning bidder couldn't come up with the cash? (happens there all the time)

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
If this was a phaeton in same condition, same colour , would it have sold for more or less than this roadster?

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
That's an interesting question, I'm going to guess about the same as any open car to have survived this long in that condition is incredible.

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
Just curious. What would that Roadster have sold for had it been restored, and not an original condition car?
$38,500 US seems pretty strong for a '28-'29 Roadster. I was thinking low 20's for this car. The '30-'31's go for more than the '28-'29's. |

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
It appears the winning bidder offered $18,500 over the previous bid just to be sure he would end up as the next owner.

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
Yes, I was going to bring up the same thing. This is a good example of why a good original car should be left original. Far too many good cars have been restored at a great expense, only to see the actual value dip in many cases.

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
so when the car jumped from 20k to 38k, it was the same bidder.............
so who knows if it really sold................ obviously the owner wouldnt let it go for less then 38k. |

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay
If you check out the automatic bids, I reckon the last genuine bid was $12000.
The other two in the sham bidding war were schill bidders. |

Re: Early 28 roadster on ebay

but how many people say- think I'll bid 20k for that car, then turn around and say- alright now Im going 40k lil fishy to me. I could see 5k increments........... to win it. |
