Model A to go

My dad's 30 Model A. I remember us bringing it home 52 years ago. It needed a lot of work then. Now it's close to done but ready for someone else to take it across the finish line. I'm looking for advice on pricing and interesting parties. Car is in Arizona.
Complete engine rebuild by an original Ford Production line Mechanic. Engine has maybe 2 hours on it.

Yes, this car runs and drives. It's been years since it has, so, the basic pre-run steps will need to be taken. I have thrown up this one picture I have of the car. This side shows the condition of the car. Needs the interior redone but all of the interior panels have been recovered in factory original mole-hair and ready to install. Seat(s) and Headliners are the main things.

Gonna need a lot more info and more pictures to determine a ballpark price...

Anywhere from $1,500 to $6,000 based off the info you've given

Without further information I would say $5,000 as the bottom.

A coupe is $15-18 grand. This one needs an interior $2,500. Paint $5-10,000. Tires those are 50+ years old $1,500. Mechanically it's an unknown $1,000 minimum. Realistically you're at about 3 thousand.

When you say, “close to done”. What has been done to the car?

Mechanically perfect. Complete engine rebuild to new specs by original Ford Mechanic. needs the interior seat, headliner and rumble seat done. Needs paint. Current condition is primer.
Needs small side windows put back in.. I have those.. Not sure it needs anything else.



I have not been in the car in years.

Thank you for your post. I appreciate the input.
 
Thanks buddy, I appreciate your input. I know I didnt add much more to the description, I am just trying to get an idea for starters. I dont expect anyone to be really serious without a lot more information and pictures.

The most expensive items are left to do. I would agree with the $3,000.00 price. Whoever buys it, will have to put more $$$$ into it than it will most likely be worth.

It’s a hobby.

Good luck.

The shipping will kill you.

What do you thin USPS would charge? Just kidding. It wouldn't be the first nor even the second car I have brought over from the US. I allow about $A5,000 to have a car in my driveway but that figure is a bit old now. I figure it would be about $A 10-12K nowadays but by filling it with whatever parts I need, the parts are transported free. By our standards, that is an OK deal.
