Maybe I was mistaken to think Model A values were dropping. Take a gander at this chassis for sale on the MAFCA site:

It’s such an interesting market. I guess part of me is glad they’re not getting big money, if they were it would drive a lot of the good folks out. -
The cost to buy one is literally half the cost of a full professional restoration. Supply is fairly high, demand is fairly low.Comment

That price must have an extra zero in it.Comment

Or its the nicest chassis in the country! The point is most of the prices we see are asking prices. The only true selling price is on a venue like eBay.

I'm sure it is a typo? $4500 would be more in line for this not $45K!Comment

Guess I am lucky, paid $500 for mine and it was running when bought. Of course that was 40+ yrs ago. Hope to live long enough to get the ole gal up and running again.Comment

About 40% of the A's in the Sierra Chapter, Fresno/Clovis CA, of M.A.F.C.A. have had engines replaced with Pintos (and others) to get AC and higher cruising speeds with better fuel mileage. Most of them, if'n you look past the 16's with radials and hydraulic brakes, look "original". Yesterday I looked at a 1930 Blindback that fits this description. Without the modifications it would be...05-26-2018, 10:16 AM -
I look at cars for sale on Craigs List every week, and it seems to me that local prices for Model A's have gone up about 20% over the last year, across the board, for all conditions. Are you seeing anything similar in your region? Disclaimer: I have never bought a Model A, in over 55 years in the hobby, with the intent that I would make money on it. That has sometimes happened by accident, but I'm...08-11-2017, 11:52 PM -

I was just boxing up somewhere around a thousand 78 RPM records to sell,and saw some Edison records in a pile.They are about 1/4 thick,so they are easy to spot.Between them was a copy of,Henry's Made a Lady out of Lizzie.I've never heard it,but I've heard of it.Is it worth having cleaned up and copied onto CD,or is it just something that's already been done that I can buy cheap anyway?I did just have...01-07-2019, 12:32 PM -

Two of these are for sale with free shipping. It doesn't say so, but I suspect they are seconds.
Also the seller only has 1 feedback, so buyer beware.

I came across this, kind of interesting.
Looks like the '30-'31's are doing OK over all especially the '31's. Better than your money sitting in a regular savings account in the bank. Not so much the '28-'29's.
