    Haha, yeah, the word he should be searching for is PICS!

    Why start a "whats it worth" thread and not have pics?

    yea thanks ..fiddyfour thats what i ment to say i never won any spelling bees....

  5. Drop it on there and pop the bolts in. I had a good Model A parts guy (an old guy who's been selling parts for them since the 50s) tell me you can buy the right ones at any hardware store, they're just carriage bolts.

    $3000 is definately cheap for a complete coupe, I've been asking more for my pickup just for the benefit of the chiselers.

    it was an ebay find i was the only bidder i couldent belive it. i guess i was an alright deal it looks like someone kinda tried to restore it but it sat for a while after that even. im looking for a roadster cowl to make it a roadster, but the real way not just chopping the tops off the doors. its at my parents place so unless they just got sick of tripping over it i dont think its the car on craigslist ha ha.

    The resale value on sport coupes is much lower than most other A's if it is hotrodded. Restorers like 'em, but most people are looking for a standard coupe or roadster.
