Re: Add on items- increase, decrease, no difference in value?
I am not a total purist, but for me, The overdrive, some add, the others? Deal killer

Re: Add on items- increase, decrease, no difference in value?
I get a kick out of reading the anti A/C posts... kind of like the fox and the sour grapes.

Re: Add on items- increase, decrease, no difference in value?
This one has all the options mentioned. 12 volts, Overdrive (F150), AC. If I did not do extended road trips I might not have done either of them.

Re: Add on items- increase, decrease, no difference in value?
Looks like to summarize - is dependent on the buyer, what he wants, and the intended use. That's one thing that is great about this hobby, there is room for everyone.

Re: Add on items- increase, decrease, no difference in value?
I agree with Eagle 100% (#3).
Depending on what part of the country you are at, the AC would be very nice, but not for the purists. |

Re: Add on items- increase, decrease, no difference in value?
Thanks for the input on the accessories. For my purposes of a long distance trip, the overdrive is a plus assuming the rest of the car, brakes and steering, is up to the task. The air conditioning would be a plus if not overshadowed by the added complexity.
Anyone have insight on the asking price, $18,400, for this 31 Slant Window Town Sedan? Brent helped me get the photos on the first page of this thread. Here’s the link to the ad. I talked to the owner, but haven’t seen the car in person yet. https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/i...Anull%7D%22%7D |

Re: Add on items- increase, decrease, no difference in value?
The Corona virus has adversely affected collector car prices. Nobody is looking and nobody is buying. Two National publications have talked about plummeting prices. You likely won't be in a bidding war. Let that be your guide. .

Re: Add on items- increase, decrease, no difference in value?
My opinion, have no clue what it is worth.
Take a friend/club member who is A knowledgeable and go look at. The other person might help you with a second opinion. For that kind of money it should be "well sorted out". If you want it, make a reasonable offer, don't lowball which turns off the seller and causes him to dig in his heels on the price. If spending a few grand more makes you happy for 20 years, money well spent. Remember it is a hobby not an investment, you probably will not get all your money back when it is time to sell it. |

Re: Add on items- increase, decrease, no difference in value?
Pretty much everything has been covered well in the previous posts. The car presents itself very well from the photos you posted. The workmanship of the new looking interior and the body/paint looks very good. If I were looking to purchase, I would offer, carefully to not offend, about 20% less and see where it goes. With the equipment included, I think it would make a wonderful car for touring.
Life is too short to not have a good Model A to drive. Hell, it's too short even with a good one (or more). Buy it and enjoy it while you are healthy enough to do so! Good Day! Last edited by Dave in MN; 04-29-2020 at 10:16 AM. |

I agree, except on cheaper stuff. I have been selling a ton of stuff this past month to people who are tired of being locked up. regarding the mentioned car- it either ticks off all the boxes or it doesnt. I would have no interest. For me it is a hot rod. But, the add ons are easily worth several thousand dollars if they are what YOU want. |
