    Drove the pickup to the Donut shop Thursday morning. A guy approached me and said he knew of a couple Model As for sale and he "may be able to get a phone number". I gave him my number knowing I'd never hear from him again. Wrong. Now here it is Saturday afternoon, just 3 days later and I own a 30 Model A coupe, a 30 Model A roadster, and a 60 Impala hardtop, and a boat load of parts.

    Pics to follow, one at a time on the iPhone is a pain

    hey man, maybe you should buy a camera now and post some pics.

    Sounds like a nice score.

    The coupe looks to be an old hot rod, and the sheet metal was making its way onto the roadster. Roadster chassis and running gear looks restored and painted, stock. Got a set of 35/36 wires, some 40 ford 16x4 steelies too. Running board rack, just piled it all in my trailer with 3 guys helping. Don't know what is all there yet. Made a fair offer on the whole lot, was not a give away.

    It pays to get your ride out and advertise...
     
  9. Hope you got a lot of trim for the sixty ... that stuff is pricey but looks like fun.

    Not only all the trim, but a new interior, complete in the boxes. Totally complete car.
