The cheapest running driving Model A you'll find. I brought this car out of southern MS. As with most any 86 year car, its had a lot of work done in its life time. It seems to me that it had some body work, engine work and interior done 30-40 years ago. Everything works, but most everything is very worn. The engine always starts and runs but it does burn a lot of oil. The engine transmission and rear axle all drip a little oil but not too bad, it will leave spots on the floor. The brakes do stop the car but they could use some work, (I've recently replaced all the linkage, rods and pins). I have replacement front fenders and running boards as well as a truck load of misc parts I've collected over time. The Good: Loads of fun to drive, get looks every where. runs and drives body is remarkably solid although there has been some small patches put in along the bottom of doors and back of body appears original, although we know work has been done over the years Here's what I'd work on next: go through engine, (minimum of rings, seals, gaskets, bearings) replace steering linkage (its a bit loose) replace tires (they're dry rotted and pretty bouncy although they all hold air)
