Sorry for your loss.

Cool. Sold my T speedster not too long ago. Was a gas to drive but impractical for me. Is The Race of Gentlemen in your future?:)

Good to hear.

I knew a Guy who paid EXTRA, to get the "modern" ORANGE PEEL look on a Caddy! Bill Observer I don't understand the crappy paint jobs modern cars receive. You'd think for the price of a new car it would at least have a good paint job.:confused:

True. Just last week saw a frame and running drivetrain for sale 2 hrs. away and a complete restored and running engine, with clutch and pedals, an hour away. I might call on the engine, asking 2200. Have enough patience and a good deal will come around.:)

As to the spirit of the thread, demand is relative to price(or vise versa) and both are subject to disposable income. To a certain degree. I need a grant to study how the value of a Model A is a reflection of the overall economy.

I'm interested too.

I'll second your opinion. My wife and I live in the country, have more than enough money, but spend most of our hours working. Our A coupe and T speedster seldom see the road when compared to our '66 F85 and '64 Comet. Traffic today is unforgiving and it takes too long to go anywhere. The...

I'd second that. Our lift has them over head and a joy to use.

Have burned E-10 in KS for decades, no problems yet.
