Thanks for all the great advice guys! It will likely take me a while to find the right car but I'll keep looking. I like the idea of the overdrive, I'm going to look into the Laycock one.

That's definitely something to keep in mind. Thanks for the input!

This seems like a good deal: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=308996 A T roadster could be fun. What do you guys think?

If that's the car in your avatar it is a beauty! I love to tinker which is part of what appeals to me about the Model A. Pretty accessible for working on and great styling and from everything I've read if they are well maintained they are very reliable. Great cars, I love them. Hopefully...

Even more beauties!

That's a gorgeous car! At $18k those dealers must be factoring in shipping costs and markup for profit. I don't know what cars sell for in Europe but it must be pretty high. $18k seems like a great deal on such a beautiful car.

Oh, wow, I had no idea about those model year and mid year changes. I've got some Model A restoration books but it looks like I need to do more research. Thank you for the post, that's very interesting info!

Great advice, thank you. I'm pretty set on a roadster right now though there could be a sedan in the future as well, you never know. I think I'll fit fine being just 5 1/2' tall. I think it would be super fun to tool around in and maybe even do some weekend tours with the local Model A club...

Good info, thank you. I'm sure the seller would come down to 12k but I would still have to ship it from the east coast which I think would be at least 3 grand. Wish it was closer, but there will be others.

I really enjoy fixing up old cars, I just don't always have the time. But a project car doesn't put me off as long as it's the right car. :)

Definitely! Your car sounds pretty cool. Thanks!

That's great advice, thank you. Will you be driving your A up here?

That's all true. I'll be shopping for the right one. I know with parts and everything it can really add up even doing all the work myself. Thanks!

I probably will give him a call, or an email. I'd like to see more pics. If it was close by I'd go have a look and I probably will be out that way later this summer but it will have sold by then I'm sure. Thanks again!

Thanks for the advice! I updated my profile; I didn't realize I hadn't put a location. I'm in California right next door to Yosemite. I haven't checked Craigslist in a few days so I hadn't seen it yet. That car looks awesome! I think that's about a 5 hour drive for me. I might have to...

Thanks for the solid advice! I missed out on a good abandoned project for a great price a few months ago that was within driving distance. It looked like it would have been perfect for me but I was too late. I'm sure others will likely surface. Patience is not my strong suit, but I'm better...

I thought they seemed a bit on the high side. The 29 looks really nice but it would wind up being in the $17k range by the time I had it shipped so it's probably a no go for me: I'm planning to go to the Turlock swap meet next weekend to see if there are any interesting cars there. I love the...

Hey everyone! Firstly, I apologize for asking newbie questions that have probably been asked too many times before. If there is a thread for this please point me in that direction. I'm looking to purchase a Model A roadster, hopefully sometime this year. I'm fairly new to Model A's though...

I'm finally getting around to looking for my roadster project. I've wanted to do one for quite a long time and it's finally time to get serious about it. So I'm looking for anything from a body to body parts to a complete car. Thanks all!

That looks super fun! I like the hill climbs here, I've been to the one in Auburn CA to watch before and it looks like fun.
