Not original engine but I'm thinking the steering wheel might be.

Re: How many A's still have their original engine.
When I got my Victoria it had a different motor in it. The guy I purchased th car from said he haqd another motor that came with this car but was going to junk it unless I wanted it. I went to his shop picked it up and it turns out it was the original motor, number matches the frame.

Re: How many A's still have their original engine.
I have a 31 Tudor with it's original engine.It has 99,000 miles on it,and I have paperwork for three rebuilds on it.I have a 30 roadster with it;s original engine,also.I have a 30 roadster pickup that I've changed the body and frame on.I took off the original body in the mid 70's,and changed the frame about 15 years ago.The shop in Manchester N.H.that used to do the engines for Page's Model A Garage in Haverhill would grind the number pad down if it was on a turned in core.If they were doing yours of course,they would leave it.They also did some for the local Sears Roebuck,but they didn't want to do the quality of work Sears wanted.Turn just one journal,bore just one cylinder,etc.Price was their priority.

Re: How many A's still have their original engine.
The frame an engine numbers match on my roadster. I have a Dec.1930 AA project with matching numbers. I have a rusty 29 tudor with a june engine number and a June 29 date on the tank, I haven't seen the frame number yet. I can't find a frame number on the frame of my sept 29 strip down but everything looks right and its the engine that was in it when I got it over fifty years ago. The others that I have in running condition don't have matching numbers. I also have an engine in my collection with no engine number.

Re: How many A's still have their original engine.
Hi,
My 1930 Town Sedan has a dealer's plate on firewall whose block number matches my engine block number. I bought it with about 57,000 miles on it & had Schwalms rebuild it at 60,000 miles. Mitch Bunkin

Re: How many A's still have their original engine.
'29 Business coupe.......sort of. Bought the car when I was 12, many years ago. By the time I scraped away the roofing cement and house paint that were holding the pieces of rust together, all I had left was the original engine, with matching number title. Car is slowly going back together with a few replacement parts- replacing everything but the original engine and title.

Re: How many A's still have their original engine.
That's a real kicker if you move to a new state that sees a valid title but no matching visible numbers on a non-original engined car.

Re: How many A's still have their original engine.
My "29 Tudor has the original Ontario Factory engine ; CA 141967 which matches the Registration/ Ownership Papers when it was sold new in Dec. 7, 1929.
In 1969 when I received it, it had 64,000 miles & the engine was worn but still went well. It had never been overhauled but this was finally done in 1975 . It now has 104500 miles & I have only had to replace some valves, redo the carby, distributor & waterpump a few times in the last 20 years. |

Re: How many A's still have their original engine.
My Panel's engine is the original. I suspected that it might not be when I spoke with an early owner who's dad had bought it from a wrecking yard in 1951. He said the engine had a "terrible knock in it" and that his dad dropped the pan and filed a bearing cap there in the wrecking yard but he didn't know if dad had swapped engines after that. When I disassembled the truck for restoration in 2003 I found the matching number on the frame.
The motor number on the 1931 Canadian Phaeton I had matched the title but...it was a Model B engine. Apparently Canadian manufactured cars did not have the number on the frame. A long-time Canadian Model A enthusiast told me that he believed that my engine was probably a dealer-installed replacement. He suggested that dealers usually stamped the original number on the replacement engines. Who knows?

My '29 RPU has the original numbers matching engine. Was a basket case when I got it.
