MN barn find.

A few week ago we went for a snowmobile ride and came across this old farm yard and found this Model A. The old guy that owns the property lives in a shack down the road and is loaded, he tells us it’s the kids (grandsons) and doesn’t want to sell it. I don’t think they even know about it or even care about it. It has been sitting there for a wile. I’m trying to save up some more Coin in a few months. Then go over and ask the old guy if he wants to sell it again.

 

change date on camera or change story.

 

red steering wheel ,and i can't see the parking brake lever next to the shifter.........early `28

 

its got the thumb buster e brake all right
and look at the aristocrat dash (yeah thas probably spelled wrong)
tk

 

yep I knew I was going to catch some crap for the date beeing off.

 

That would be a good one to restore. I had a AA truck with a red steering wheel and wire wheels once. Lippy

 

Parking brake handle's visible beside the gearshift, making it a late 28 or 29. Appears to have accessory guage panel though, but the wrong steering wheel.

 

yeah , i see the parking brake lever now.....and i missed that gauge panel. damn Korbel.

that would be a good one to get your hands on. did the old guy buy it new? a friend of mine restored a `28 tudor that came from the original owner...he got it as a high school graduation present. the old coot stopped in one time , the stories he told of his adventures in it was amazing.

FWIW, my camera date is never correct either.

 

Looks like a good one to buy!

 

Geez, that old snowmobile it damn near as classic as the car.

 

Good lord, was that barn built by Lewis and Clark?

 

neat find,, keep on it..

 

hook some chains to that snow mobile and drag that motha out.... just joking. The guy my friend bought his model A off of had a similar story about it being "the grand sons" car. 2 weeks later and only $500 we were towing it back from El Centro. Helps to be a border patrol, you get to sneak around peoples barns, and tell 'em you're looking for illegals but really looking for cars.....haha! flash some cash I guarantee he'll budge soon.

 

What a great day for a snowmobile ride....Very cool (barn) building, let alone find a super nice Model A....John

 

Lotsa old barns like that around up here, too. Haven't found a Model A yet, though. Nice find, hope he sells!

 

wow cool find, better get it out of there before the building falls down on it.

 

great find, good luck with the old boy.

 

The old girl sure looks solid. Bet your heart rate went up when you took a look inside the shed .

 

Damn that's a find!

 

You're in GREENBUSH?!?!?! Most of my family lives up by Oklee! My uncle and I are always out that way looking for tin, but haven't found that yet!
