    BaT Pricing Fun

    Totally random, but interesting nevertheless...there were two Model As that closed in the last 48 hours, and they closed for the same price - $14,750. One was a mixmaster of 1928, 1929, and 1930 bits, the other a nice, but 38 year old restoration. Not making any generalizations about the...

    Repairing a solid motor mount?

    As I'm preparing all of the parts, pieces, and knowledge to restore my April 1928 Australian-built Phaeton, it occurred to me that I never looked at the motor mount. Sure enough...the solid front motor mount was cut off at one point and a later mount was put in its place. I'm not sure...
