1928 MODEL A ROASTER....RUBBLE SEAT....NEW TOP....NEW TIRES

BRIEF DISCRIPTION: For your consideration I have a  very nice DRIVER QUALITY 1928 Model A Roadster that is all steel. 1928 was the first year for the Model A and I love them. This is a real nice car. but its no perfect 100 point roll out of the trailer show queen. It looks good. runs good and most everything works. I put lots of new stuff on including. new wide white Firestone tires. new top and new stainless steel front bumper and more. Its just a nice car that I will not take less that $19. 99 for. The more perfect Roadsters start out for around $35. 00 and go up. If you want just a nice car for fun. this may be it. if you want perfect get ready to pay more.

PHOTOS. PICTURES:::: ebay motors makes it hard to see all the pictures. to find more just scroll on the right side of the pictures section.

VIN/vehicle identification number: 563665

MILEAGE READING ON THE CAR: 70095 and who really knows.

TITLE: Good title in hand that I will transfer as a Tennessee dealer. I just work out of my garage at home. but I have dealers license and insurance.

HISTORY: I don't know a lot. I went to a big car show last fall in the Smokey Mountains near me. A man from Key Largo. Florida was there to sell his Model A. I liked it and bought it. The title is from Key Largo. Florida and will be transferred correctly from me  as a  Tennessee dealer.

 I will take $19. 99 if you buy direct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT IS MY RESERVE PRICE: I have a different strategy and it works good for me. My reserve price is $22. 00. I am asking $22. 00 for the car. but I will take $19. 99 for the car. Why do I do it this way. because the car is up for auction. The car is worth $22. 00. so if you wait to the end and bid you may have to pay the full price if the bids come in. My real price if you come look or just have lots of nerve and buy direct is $19. 99. People like to play the game and get sellers down on cars. so that's the game up front and open. The lowest price is $19. 99 if you call me direct after you read and study my listing. I don't think ebay motors lets me stop the listing near the end.

.

The following information is long and boring unless you want to buy the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHO YOU ARE BUYING FROM:  My name is Ron Watson and I live in the small town of Athens. Tennessee “Athens is called the friendly city”. We are located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in east Tennessee. I am 67 years old and work with my son Keith who is now 42. I am now retired and living my dream restoring. selling and improving classic cars. For 12 years I was an auto mechanics instructor at TennesseeTechnologyCenter here in Athens. I am also a veteran of the US Army; I served as a Chinook helicopter mechanic. crew chief and instructor in the late 60s. I did spend a year in Vietnam.   I'm Southern Baptist faith and proud to be an American.   I've been married to the same good woman for almost 43 years. LIFE IS GOOD IN THE GREEN HILLS OF EAST TENNESSEE!

I NOT SHOW CARS ON SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!    Sorry. but 67 years old and work 6 days a weed. I need a day to worship. spend time with family and rest my body and mind. I do answer my emails 2 or 3 times. I usually don't answer my cell phone. Life is more than just old cars!

DO I HAVE TO BUY THROUGH EBAY MOTORS? Sure. I will sell the car direct. " I will sell direct". I know a lot of you guys just use ebay as a research tool and do not like the internet or have pay pal account. Come look and judge the car for your self!

PLEASE. NO TRADES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do not want to do any trading for anything.

THERE ANY ACCIDENT DAMAGE?  None that I can find.

WHY AM I SELLING THIS CAR?     I'm a 67 year old retired mechanic/classic car restorer/auto mechanics intructor. when I find a car I like. can sell for a fair market price and make a few bucks. I buy it fix a few things and resell.

PAINT:     The paint would be considered very nice driver quality. the shine is brilliant. no rust bubble. no dents. You will see some specs in the paint if you look with a critical eye and just a little orange peel. but its good looking paint. We did buff and polish the car to make it look fresh.

CHROME AND BRIGHTWORK:       I put a new stainless steel front bumper on. new gas cap. new grab handles. new step. the rear bumper shines good. but has some pits. the grill shell is very decent. but has some dulling around the radiator cap. the headlight chrome shines good. but has some pits. I was going to put a new radiator cap on and the bottom part was on so tight I just left it. the top part opens good to check the coolant.

INTERIOR:    The interior is pretty good. no real wear. the bottom front seat springs are pushing the material on the corner of the passengers side. I put a new floor mat in.

GLASS:   The glass is in good condition.

ENGINE:    The engine is a sweet running 4 cylinder flathead. its a good engine with no knocks other than Model A sounds. We cleaned the carburetor and put a new set of plug in.

The car has been converted to a 12 volt system with a alternator. this is a good thing in my opinion.

EXHAUST SYSTEM:  The exhaust is new from the manifold back.

TRANSMISSION: 

 3 speed manual transmission. it shift good to me. these were not simonized gearing. so don't expect to do any speed shifting.  

REAR-END:    Its good with no whines or growls other than normal Model A sounds.

BRAKES:  Good for mechanical brakes. but you have to give it some heavy foot.

STEERING:  The car drives like most old Model A Fords. it not impressive after driving modern cars. its 1928 steering.

WHEELS AND TIRES:   Original 21 inch wheels. the 4 on the ground are new wide-shite Firestones with new tubes and liners.

LIGHTS:     Headlights and tail light work. as well as the stop light. The old switch has been replaced with a push/pull switch.

Ahooga horn is working. but on a push button switch on the dash.

HOW IS THE TOP? New.

HOW IS THE RUNNING BOARD RUBBER? They are nice with no holes or cracking. but not new.

HOW DO THE DOORS AND HOOD OPEN AND CLOSE?    I think they open and close good for a Model A.

TRADES: Please no trades. they never work out and are just to hard!

I RESERVE TH RIGHT TO STOP THE LISTING AT ANY TIME. THE CAR IS FOR SALE ON THE LOCAL MARKET.

WHERE THE CAR IS LOCATED:  The car is here at my home in Athens. Tennessee. Athens is in east Tennessee. we are 50 miles south of  Knoxville. Look at a Road Atlas and follow interstate 75 south from Knoxville. I live one mile and one turn from the interstate exit. My zip code is 37303. The closest large airport is Knoxville. Athens does have a good small airport. but has no commercial flights.

WHO YOU ARE BUYING FROM:  My name is Ron Watson and I live in the small town of Athens. Tennessee “Athens is called the friendly city”. We are located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in east Tennessee. I am 67 years old and work with my son Keith who is now 41. I am now retired and living my dream restoring. selling and improving classic cars. For 12 years I was an auto mechanics instructor at TennesseeTechnologyCenter here in Athens.

MY AREA CODE FOR TRANSPORT: The area code for Athens. Tennessee is 37303. I live 1 mile off a major interstate (I-75) and 35 miles south of interstate 40. span >  so transport is usually very fast.

PAYMENT: I require a $250 deposit for a Buy Now or to hold the car. this can be by PayPal. but I will not take full payment by PayPal.

         Option 1: Pay the old school way face to face.

         Option 2: Pay by check. I will wait till the check clears. I have had

                          a fake bank certified check.                                                                  

         Option 3: The safest and fastest is to let our banks handle it. my bank is a

                           member of the US Federal Reserve. this is called wire

INSPECTIONS: Please come look and be happy. All inspections are required to be done before the end of the listing. I listed this car as I see it as a 64 year old car restorer. please come and judge it for your self. I judge the car to my standards. this may not be yours. Paid inspectors are welcome. but they can make a good car sound bad on the report. They have to be very critical to cover their back sides. I understand how hard it is to buy a car without looking. but I think you should come look yourself.   I don't like paid inspectors. I like for the person that is buying to inspect for themselves. I think its fine to send a friend to inspect for you. To make it clear. don't hit the buy now button and then inspect. come inspect first!

TRADES: Please no trades!

BOTTOM LINE:    My real price is $19. 99. nbsp;my reserve price is $22. 00 if you wait to bid at the end. The game is not rocket science. ask a price on the local markety and come down. It's not fun to bargain over the cell phone all day long with people that live 2000 miles away and are not going to buy anyway. I have sold every car I have ever tried to. so I'm not motivated to be bargained down.

PLEASE!!!!!!   PLEASE!!!!! PLEASE!!!!! Come look at this vehicle.

Please don't hit the Buy Now button unless your ready to really buy it!

Do your research. call me with questions. read my feed backs. I am ebay verified; this means they say I'm a real person in a real place.

I WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO SELL YOU THE VEHICLE WITH-OUT AN INSPECTION; YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF NERVE AND PLEASE DON'T BE A CRY BABY.
