Sounds good to me if he GAVE you a car! Let see some pictures, what condition?

ill have some pics in a few days. Ya haha i know it was a very nice gift. The guy claims he put 5000 into it. Its got brand new tires and he painted it with spray paint. the interior needs some work but thats not a prob. it actually has a 1930 motor in it. which was made exactly 74 years ago today which is pretty neat.

Hey Zach, nice find??? I'm just messin with you.. Try to contact the local Model A & T Clubs in St. Louis, they run the Riverport Swap Meet every year. They can tell you everything you need to know about your new car... Good luck, Mark

Don't sell the Model A short. You could throw a 283 (or whatever) Chev in it with a M-20* and a 9-inch (etc., etc.) and have some real fun. They are easy to work on and update too. Lots of looks when you're out driving. There's the annual Goodguys show (1963-earlier cars) here every summer (Puyallup, near Seattle) and I get old car fever every year. I'd love to throw together a A-bone to cruise the fairgrounds in. Give it some thought before you sell the car.

*Or a 289 (or whatever) Ford and a C-4
