    My buddy sent these pic's of this old car sitting in the back field of his Aunts farm.She was going to have it crushed to help clean up the ole place.We convinced her to hold off for a week or so til we could get that way to pick her up.No clue as to what it is,but figured it to be a late 30's something.If the pic's are not good enough she will send a few more in a few days.She also made the comment it was a rear engine and looked like a VW motor,but with all the rust i don't figure it to be a replica ..Thanks for the help

  2. I don't know what it is, but you ought to scoop up those wishbones behind it. Probably other cool stuff there as well.

  5. Looks like a 30-31 A coupe body. Someone did a lot of work to make a homemade whatzit.
     
  6. Yep,

    Its a 30 or 31 Ford Coupe, Definitely worth more than scrap weight!!

    I gotta wonder with that deck lid treatment if it has a VW transaxle / engine transplant?
     
  16. TROPHY,, and i,ll bet the engine in the trunk is just the old banger laying on it,s side.
    Or is it an A body on an old VW bus floorpan ?

    No, but I'll give you 20 bucks for the grille shell.
     
  19. The weeds ( look like you know what, :eek: ) or the car or the trophy top ?
    Question for all the model A experts, Is,nt the distance from the firewall to the centre of the front wheel a little on the short side ? Gearstick to far from the dash ?

    I wonder if 34 Gaz is right if that body is sitting on a Vw bus floorpan.
     
  24. I'm sure it is to someone. It looks like the car's been cobbled up from a whole lot of bits and pieces and could either be someone's fun project or parted out.

    If it were a replica, it would have been in 'glass...
