AVRG === Abused Vicky Recovery Group

Sam that thing looks nice did a little work on it in a month huh?

 

My Tudor doner wheel well arrived today!!!!!!!! Nice to have a solid bit of California sheetmetal to go with the right door frame from Utah.

 

uh uh uh.......... I have a 31 vicky leatherback rear, 31 sedan front 29 upper roof panels front 30 4 door center upper roof panels and 90 blazer roof......andd lots of patch panels...

 

well Joe and I have been full time on it for the last 3 weeks... and it runs now, glass tomorrow and carpet this weekend ...

 

The bid is at $1750, reserve met right now, ends tommorrow, wish I could keep it, as they are one of my all time dream cars, but I just have too many projects, and no money to put into to them.

BTW, your car and dragrcr50's are the coolesst, I had kind of a gasser image of how I wanted to build mine, just like this model of a 32 vicky gasser I built when I was a kid. Man I love Vickys, kinda wish I wasn't sellin' mine now.

 

Hey, this poor old pile of parts can be palletized and freighted, or benD here on the HAMB can grab them next time he's out west, both options cheaper than the hauling of an entire car.

PM sent, --or call me at the shop.

 

Brad,empty your PM's.LOL

 

Yeah, so do I, I'd really like to see somthing good come of it, instead of just letting it go. The Model A Victoria is number two on my all time favorite body style list Pulling a close second to a 34' three window:

Of which the procedes of this sell will finally help me finish

Did anyone else get their new issue of The Rodders Journal? The Eric Clapton '32 Vicky has to be the finest one out there.

 

Here's the one I'm working on, not really a Vicky. Took a cowl, door frames and window frame pieces from a very abused Tudor, built the rest on an english wheel and shot bag.

 

Metalman, That is one heck of a piece of work! Thanks for posting the photos.

 

I see we have a new member in the A.V.R.G...
Welcome Metalman...your car is definatly a Vicki...looks more like one then mine right now...lol...I'd like to see some more pics of your Vicki...Nice work!

 

Is the "ducktail"for want of a better way to put it,rear body the diff. between a Vicky and a sedan?

 

Other body differences were Vicki also had slightly slanted back A Pillars and windshield...and larger doors to, I believe...I'm still learning about mine...

 

Your'e talking Model A's I hope. I think 32's were the same as Tudors from the doors foward, least I hope so or mine's all wrong.

 

Curious as what a complete 31 Vicky needing a full resto/hot rod is worth??? It has its typical rust issues but complete car none the less...I went to look at it today and was given a price but trying to see if it's worth what the man was asking???Any info..

 

The standard answer is that they are worth whatever someone will pay. I bought a real nice one in 1975 for $600. One went for $1350 at the auction in Mitchell, IN yesterday, and it was a bit on the "thin" side to say the least. There was one on a trailer about a block away that was being trolled for something like $17,500 but I didn't stop to look at it. I guess anywhere in between is fair game.

Abused Vicky

 

In the early 70s several of my friends and I all looked at and passed on a 31 Victoria with perfect sheet metal and no wood for $250. In retrospect, "Aw, man...".

 

This is an old thread but I was hoping I could join the AVRG with my salvage...... Looking much better now. This is when I got it.

 

Well this thread is a flash from the past! Here's a little video of me abusing my 190A in a little different way ...

 

Yeah, thread from the past. Here's the one I built, maiden voyage. Yeah, a little street roddy. Still need to detail it and work out a few bugs. been a long time coming!

 

Wow! That’s a very nice Vicky! ^^^^^^^^^
