How many unchopped Model a's left?

I've seen some places with cars just sitting there and sitting there and one day a big truck comes in and scraps everything :-( some folks should go into the business of cleaning these places out and get a title and sell anything that was built before 1980.

Usually when that happens. It's because the old guy died. And who ever got the cars would rather deal with one guy. And not have to spend the time selling them individually. It's sad but it happens all the time.

 

Yes. I think a lot of old guys think their stuff is worth just as much as it was once upon a time. They don't want to drop the price so they never sell anything, then die and the stuff goes to scrap at 9 cents a pound. Some old men can be really stubborn :-(

I don't think most care about what it's worth. I have learned that a lot can be baught. Most people just get tired of people blowing smoke up their ass. They say they want a car and never come back. When asking to buy a car have cash in hand. There are still a ton of cars out there. They are not as rare as the restorers say they are.

 

Mine is unchopped....l'm 6'2" tall




Regards Dave....

 

Danny C's is not chopped.

 

A bit off topic but, where is the best place to buy inexpensive original type replacement 21" Model A tires? I wish to buy some for a friends "A".
The least expensive ones I can find are about $100. Are there any our there for less?

thanks in advance.

 

I have three and my avatar I built in the 90's is still out there somewhere, and rebuilt a 30 coupe for a friends 89 year old dad last year.

 

Heres my 31 Sedan that'll never be chopped as long as I own it.


My 30 Coupe... unchopped... waiting its turn


And I still have a 30 Roadster, 31 Pickup and 29 2Door that are all unchopped.

 

I had one once...now its my avatar

 

Your car is gorgeous.

 

Here is my Tudor 2,000 miles from home in the Rockies.

 

Just in the process of buying this for a friend of mine.
Have to ship it to NZ from OZ.

 

sweet car!

 

I have a 29 Special Coupe that is unchopped. I know of a 29 & a 30 coupe, two 29 pickups, a 29 tudor sedan, two 31 tudor sedans, & a 29 4 door sedan that are all unchopped.Now, if I had the money to buy them all I'd be a very happy man!

 

NICE COUPE, Dave!

 

Beautiful coupe! I like the stance & choice of wheels. Most shy away from the wide-5 stuff! Nicely done, sir!

 

I like both chopped and unchopped. Mine is unchopped alot of people like it..

 

here's mine, just getting it together and working right. i won't be chopping it, it's hard enough seeing when a light turns green as it is at its full height. it sure is fun too!

 

3 here, one deliver and 2 coupe's. No way I would chop them. Rod

 

They would all be roadsters like Malcome's . That would not be a bad thing.
