Ford Model A Deluxe Roadster 1931

I purchased this beauty from an antique car collector through an Ebay auction in 2008.   The seller had the car restored by a professional restorer a short time prior to my purchase.   The restoration was a complete frame-off endeavor.   The vehicle had 9 miles on the odometer and presently has 173.   I have kept it in my climate controlled garage. and have only driven it a few miles every few months to keep things lubricated and "exercised. "  I purchased the car hoping that my wife and I could take it to car shows and enjoy participating in parades. and such.   However. my wife was diagnosed with cancer shortly after the purchase and passed away a year later.   As a result. I have lost interest.   The car starts and runs great and everything works fine.   It should. it's only been driven 173 miles since restoration!  It has two side mounts. a trunk rack and trunk. a "boot" to put over the convertible top when it is in the open position and an original spotlight.   (The previous owner told me he paid around 2K just for the spotlight).   There is one tiny scratch in the paint. located just below the rumble seat handle. which can be seen in one of the photos.   Other than that. I can find no other flaws.   My reserve price is far less than what I paid.   Good luck! 

If you are unable to personally inspect the car prior to bidding. you might consider having someone knowledgeable to do so.   I would ask the winning bidder to give me a deposit of $1000. to hold the vehicle until a personal inspection can be made. and. if the car is not as described. would return the deposit (minus EBay's fee).   I am a private seller. nbsp;so I don't do credit cards or paypal.   Please contact me with any questions you may have.

The following ad was placed on Ebay by the previous owner in 2008.

This wonderful Model A received a complete. frame off. professional restoration a few years ago to it's original fresh from the factory condition. Nothing was overlooked in returning this classic to perhaps better than it would have been if you bought it new off the factory assembly line.   One just like this recently sold at the Kruse  auction last fall for $50. 00 plus the 8%fees. This is a rare opportunity to buy a nicer example at a fraction of that. If you have watched these cars. you already know what great investments they are. There are only a few in the world this nice. All photos in this ad were taken within the last 30 days. The car actually looks better than in the photos.

The car was perfectly restored by the well know ford restorer Gerald & Son. It has been driven only 18 miles since the restoration. This is a Pebble Beach quality car. I doubt you would ever find a nicer example of the great classic. It is finished in the original Washington/Riveria Blue with Tacoma Cream wheels and LeBaron-Bonney interior and top with a tan & brown leather interior. It has the period correct leather covered trunk. rare dual side mounts with polished stainless steel covers and mirrors. etched glass wind wings. quail radiator cap and stainless steel stone guard. It also features the very rare sport light. spotlight
