Technical **WOW have I had a great week! Found a 1931 Ford Model A Barn Find Survivor**

WOW in great shape get it started

 

Me likey!

 

SWEET! Good on ya!

 

Looks like it may have been a deluxe A coupe. Cowl light holes & a few extra's in the interior. Looks to be an early 31 since it has what looks to be the round speedo. Does it have a recessed gas tank valve on the firewall, that would be a later 1931 production?

Movin/on

 

What? Again? Already? Dayum lucky sob!

 

Nice find I had a good week last week to wanna trade for a IHC truck ha ha that 5 window duece was my lucky car I am gonna be quite for a little while my wife just got the master card statement !!

 

I have a couple original headlights in excellent shape if your interested. Great find.

 

That is a solid start in anyone's book.....SWEET!!!

 

Excellent find.!

 

Good luck is the result of hard work....and driving your Model A to McDonalds for breakfast. Thursday morning a guy at McDonalds started telling me his dad had Model As before he died. When I asked if there were any parts left, he said, yeah they need to clean out the barn because they sold the property. The pore guy evidently didnt learn much from his dad because he was telling me there are 3 deuce setups and 'power pack' heads for flathead Fords in the barn!

 

Hmmm that's interesting, yes it does have the recessed gas tank valve. I wondered a little about the speedo since it only said 3,000 miles!

 

Very sweet find, Mike !

 

What a sweet find! I cannot believe how clean the bottom of the cowl is - no rust... I am jealous!!!

RGG

 

Wow, thats a really kool find. Congrats

 

That is for sure! I too can't believe the lack of rust on the body, suspension components and frame.

 

I'm going to have to start hanging around you for a while because whatever I'm doing isn't working!

 

Haha funny thing happened tonight while I was outside my house. Our neighbor comes over looking for his lost dogs, we got talking and he said there is an old early 30's Ford 2 door something has been in his barn for years and he wants to sell it. It's been under a tarp. Im going to look at it Tuesday, we will see what he is talking about. Im already anxious to see what this mystery early 30's Ford 2 door might be??? Funny too how it's like a quarter mile from my house, the barn is just right up the street where I live.

 

I might have to move to Reno. I don't hear of these at all around home. Great score!

 

You round up a third one, I'm coming over to shit in your hat.

 

Ooooh...nice one. Sounds like Grandma was lookin' out for your interests.

I believe the rumble seats were in most of 'em...which makes the models with trunks the rare ones.
Is that right, guys?

Congrats, Mike.

 

That's it... what's your address?

I'm kicking out the stakes of my side canopy and I'm going to move my van from the river banks and park by your house!!!

 

You don't want it... It's got flat tires, and that causes it to sit close to the dirt where the rust mollecules permeate the metal via osmosis. It's common in Nevada. It's not even worth your time pulling home. I'm studying this process, so if you don't mind you can donate the worthless pile to me. Science thanks you.

 

Man, I've now learned that I can't find A's on the computer at a resonable price; any other car I can, but I 'spose I'm just gonna have to go out for a drive in the country.

 

they say there are 2 cars stashed away for every car we see...
one less on the stash sheet ! go man go .

 

ummmmmmm - you're 6 years late to the party....

 

went to the last page... not many sheet metal posts back then...

 

Come on ,, there are no barns in Reno! Just casinos and pawn shops,,,
Now Sparks, maybe,, but certainly in Fernley,, or Fallon,,, or Gabbs maybe
Great finds!

 

Damn, still miss 3 window Larry.

 

I would guess that about half of roadsters had rumble seats, maybe 40% of coupes. In the heyday of Model A restoration in the 70's probably way more than that were converted.

 

Update,,,,,,,,,,third one,,,,,,,,,I gots ta know
