Hi guys, just wanted to share a find i happened across..
Last weekedn my girlfriend and I took a walk here In New Bern NC, in the historic section, and when we got to one of the many old houses, a B&B type establishment, she spotted an old car out front so we walked up an looked, it was a 30 modelA tudor sedan, with a 4sale sign, asking $14,300. I was just wondering how this compares to prices elsewhere..as this isnt an old car hotbed and just about anything "old" is considered worth its weight in gold by the owners( usually some farmer thats ahd it from dawn of time)
the car was reasonable solid, drivable condition with no bad rust but bad paint: several spots blisted off and peeling. some minore surface rust( nothing more than rub thru areas, no pits or holes. Good wire wheels and tires, all the glass was clean, it was dark and the doors unlocked, so it was hard to tell but I believe the interior had been redone, like a gray tweed style material.. It was last inspected in 1990 ( expired 8-90) and there was a strong smell of gas when we got close, so I'm wondering if someone attempted to get it running? In all I would venture to say someone with good intentions had preserved the car, had the look of being parked in a nice dry garage, then forgotten for some time! Or., as common around here, someone wouldnt part with it becase they felt it was a priceless collector piece yet refused to spend any money for fear of " never getting my money back"
I'm gona try and snap a pic later an post it, just thought ti was an interesting find, especially for a rod buff like me who never sees any! lol
