Yes, Bob is correct. I should have been more specific that my comment about a "good buy" being a "good-bye" to me was referring to the original post the eBay Vicky, not Mark C.'s terrific phaeton purchase. I was trying to make a bad play on words, but was unclear what I was referring to. My apologies for any confusion I caused.
Yes, Mark C.'s phaeton was one heck of a buy at $8800!!! Congratulations. My '28 phaeton cost a lot more than that and didn't look nearly as good!

I have to think he is fishing too. There were several Model A's in the Owls Head Museum auction last weekend, and I bet you could have bought three open cars for that price. This one followed me home for $8800 - which includes the 10% buyers premium!

I don't know how you pulled that one off, but you stole that car. :)

Maybe you want to trade it for my 28 Phaeton, so you won't have to worry about getting the nice paint scratched.
 
Mark W.... if I had been the SELLER of your Phaeton, no way I would have let it go that cheap:)

Nice Model A nicely bought.

B]Looks like you made a great buy. Proof positive to the people that think Model A prices have skyrocketed that it is not so. Obviously the market is taking a nosedive when you buy for that price. Wayne[/B]
 
This is probably someone brokering a car for an estate. Maybe the dead husband told the family it was worth that, to justify spending money on it while he had it..
 
Vern, you asked where the Victoria was a few days ago. Here are photos of it in it's "hide out". You will recall the story. The wife did not want to pay extra for the painted wheels. She only got in the passenger seat and would never see his side. She got the black wheels and he got the apple green without her knowing, or finding out. Enjoy, Russ.

"NOW THIS ISN'T A BIG MONEY SHOW CAR. " but he is asking big money show car money.

It that just wrinkled top or is there rust on the upper right rear corner, how about that paint job. I know a lor of people do like it when we pick apart a car but look at what

Best of luck to him!

Are we dealing here with the two stooges or the odd couple ? Sounds like they need more than car help! Wayne

There were several A's at the auction, there were two similar Phaetons mine and a mid 29 that had much less crackle in the paint (lacquer) which sold for around 10,500. Then there was a 31 Deluxe that sold in the mid 20's - I dropped out of that one at 18 or so due to the frenzy.

As for issues with mine - it needs paint - one side is much worse than the other, and it has an AA motor in it. I can live with those issues for a driver. One really nice thing was the spare parts - not only a full set of curtains under a hatch in the floor nobody knew was there, but at least a dozen condensers and points (old 1940's stock), plus a new coil, tools, front hub bearings, and spare radiator & gas cap.

Here is the list of results for the Model A's:
032 1928 Ford A Phaeton $10,450.00
036 1931 Ford Phaeton 4D $24,200.00
037 1931 Ford Model A Wagon $19,250.00
038 1931 Ford A Roadster $19,800.00
042 1929 Ford A Roadster $17,600.00
045 1930 Ford A Sport Coupe $16,500.00
046 1930 Ford A Deluxe Coupe PASSED
047 1930 Ford A 2-Door Deluxe PASSED
048 1928 Ford A Phaeton $8,800.00
050 1929 Ford A 4-Door Sedan PASSED
043 1931 Ford Model A Mail Truck $27,500.00

I don't think he really wants to sell that one, The last one to come out of that garage was a lot less money (the guy knows his "A's"
