UP FOR AUCTION TODAY IS A TRUE BARN FIND. IT IS A 1931 FORD MODEL A VICKY. THIS CAR WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED FROM A LOCAL ESTATE. THE CAR WAS IN THE FAMILY'S POSSESSION SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 1931. IT WAS PURCHASED NEW BY THE GRANDFATHER, THEN PASSED DOWN TO HIS SON IN 1948 AND WAS DRIVEN UNTIL THE EARLY 1960'S UNTIL IT WAS PUT INTO STORAGE WHERE IT SAT UNTIL PULLED OUT LAST WEEK. THIS CAR IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE CONSIDERING BEING ALMOST 80 YEARS OLD! THE 1931 VICKY IS A RARE CAR IN ITSELF WITH ONLY A LITTLE OVER 33000 CARS PRODUCED IN 1931 COMPARED TO OVER 200,000 SEDANS IN THE SAME YEAR. AND OUT OF THOSE 33000, IM NOT SURE HOW MANY WERE STEEL BACKS COMPARED TO A LEATHER BACK. ANYWAYS, ON TO THE CAR. CHECK OUT THE PICTURES, THEY PRETTY MUCH TELL THE STORY OF THE CONDITION OF THE CAR. FIRST OF ALL, THE BODY ON THE CAR IS IN PRETTY DECENT SHAPE. I HAVE SEEN ALOT WORSE. THE METAL IS PITTED IN AREAS, BUT IS STILL GOOD METAL AND NOT ROTTED AWAY. THE TYPICAL PATCH PANELS WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED INCLUDING, THE FRONT COWL PATCHES, ONE REAR QUARTER PATCH BEHIND THE DRIVER DOOR, AND MAYBE A BOTTOM OF THE DOOR PATCH FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR. THE DRIP RAILS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. BOTH DOORS OPEN AND SHUT AND LATCH. THE LATCHES AND REGULATORS ARE ALL THERE. THE ORIGINAL GARNISH MOLDINGS ARE ALL THERE BUT IS MISSING ONE OF THE DECORATIVE TRIM THAT GOES UNDER THE MOLDING ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE FLOOR BOARD IS SOLID IN SOME PLACES BUT WILL NEED REPLACED UNDER THE BACK SEAT. NORMALLY IF YOU ARE GOING TO HOT ROD IT, THIS WILL NEED CUT OUT ANYWAYS, SO IT WASNT A BIG DEAL TO ME. THE CAR STILL HAS ALOT OF THE ORIGINAL WOOD IN THE CAR, AND I WOULD SAY THAT MOST OF THE ORIGINAL WOOD IS STILL USABLE IN MY OPINION. BUT REMEMBER THAT THE WOOD IS 80 YEARS OLD, SO ITS NOT PERFECT. THE TOP OF THE CAR IS SOLID WITH MINOR DENTS. IT HAS SOME OF THE WOOD STILL IN PLACE, BUT IS MISSING MOST OF THE WOODEN BOWS. THE WOOD ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD IS THERE, BUT SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE HARD TO FIND TRIM FOR THE SOFT TOP IS ALSO STILL IN PLACE. AS FAR AS THE FENDERS ARE CONCERNED, THIS CAR HAD DUAL WHEELS IN THE FENDERS. ALL FOUR FENDERS ARE ROUGH BUT COULD BE FIXED IF NEED BE. THEY ARE THE WORST PART OF THE CAR AS FAR AS PITTING GOES. AS FAR AS THE REST OF THE CAR GOES, THE FRAME AND CHASSIS ALL SEEM TO BE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL 4 BANGER MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION, LOOKS LIKE IT IS MISSING THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST. THE REAR WHEELS SEEM TO BE SOME TYPE OF CHEVY ARTILLERY WHEELS BUT LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL REAR END. ANYWAYS, IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, AND IM SURE THERE WILL BE, PLEASE EMAIL ME OR CALL 330 715 3892 AND ASK FOR PAUL. THE CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS, THERE IS NO REFUND OR RETURNS ON IT. ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID. A 500.00 DEPOSITE IS REQUIRED WITHIN 2 DAYS OF CLOSE THROUGH PAYPAL OF AUCTION AND PAID IN FULL WITHIN 10 DAYS. I PREFER THE CAR BE PICKED UP BUT I CAN DELIEVER WITHIN A 200 MILE RADUIS FOR A FEE. I HAVE A GOOD OHIO MATCHING TITLE IN MY HAND FOR THE CAR AND IT IS IN MY NAME, SO THERE IS NO PROBLEMS. THANKS.
