If that Model A is still original just leave it be. It don't need to be rodded if it's still all there and running and you don't need the few useable parts you'll get for that kind of money. You'd be better off to get a modern rolling chassis and a glass repro body.

And quit guessing about values. Go here http://www.antiquecar.com/resources/appraisals.php and and link to the various sites. Go here http://www.vmrintl.com/ and get armed with values versus condition definitions. Get familiar with what conditions are for each category of value.

Some of the evaluation services break down conditions more than others. One even shows what a parts car is worth. You can pretty well frget the highest on all of them. The likeyhood of seeing one of those classes of cars for sale is low.

You can't tell about old cars' owners either. They ain't got no logic. They have a car sitting for maybe decades but won't sell it to you. Maybe they once thought they were going to fix it up. Some are so lame they believe that a decaying original is worth something the older it gets and the more it decays! Sometimes it seems like if they can't fix it up then, by God, nobody will! And the cars just sit and rot out of spite.
