The bids are at $2600. A bargain with those rare 19" AR wheels.

16 bids, over a day to go, the bid is over $2,600 and there isn't much there to save or work with. Unbelievable

I guess you should never throw anything out.........just stick it on ebay!

If this really was an early Model A truck, it would have the "high" rear cab window. This one does not. Left hand e brake? This truck is misrepresented. Run, guys!!

Lots of junk on E-Bay should be dropped IN the BAY!
By the way, help me with my Math!: If I subtract 1928 from 1931, I get 3, right? Then how did Henry make 4 years of Model A's in only 3 years??? Puzzled, Bill W.

You don't know the half of it, Tom,
I have half of my club believing I used to be a Secret Agent, the other half think I'm NUTS!
Attaching (I hope) pic of my Secret Agent car. Pat, (God! I miss her) called me James Bond when I drove it. It's a 1939 MG Tickford with an Jaguar XK-120 engine & trans! James Bond.

We have seen some great metal work done here, I have no doubt that it can be un-done.

High bid of about $2800. Ended. Reserve not met. Now there is a story of two fools. The one who bid $2800, and the one who turned it down.

Another story of someone, chopping the top, and then quiting. "Get it while it's cheap".
