I offered the Harley for the '31 sport coupe.both are obvious projects,Ill never do the Harley cause I don't ride anymore (love to ride,hate falling off) The sport coupe would fit the chassis I'm building and would allow me to keep my 29 sport coupe complete,basically it gives me two cars,which I need like a hole in the head.Marrying that 31 body to my frame builds value however,and I'm not against that,no sir..Don't think this guy is a model a type,he said the spare engine is a "200.5 cu in engine"..there is a Harley in the last picture so I think he's a biker who fell into this...anyway,he wants 3700 for the car,the Hog is worth about that....what do you think?..intersting sub fact...they only built 19,000 '31 sport coupes...not ultra rare,but not alot of them..

I'd sell off the bike for the Model A.
Of course I'm a bit partial, as I've never been a big fan of Harleys, except the very early ones.

Model A engine is a 200.5 ci Sell the Harley. I put a Harley 45 engine in my 51 Cushman Eagle, when I was a kid. It would be nice if you could keep the 31 a 31 by using the right frame.

thats was a fun Cushman huh...I know they are 200 cube,just nobody in the game says that,you know what i mean? its like saying it has a 'manual transmission'..

Is there anything wrong with the chassis on the 31? An even up trade would be nice
What is the deal on the other motor

[CM2]

Haven't seen it in person,the frame under the '31 and the two engines are gravy..and whatever else comes with it...even up is the only way,I wont sweeten the deal.

Model A is my vote also

[Tom Wesenberg Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Tom Wesenberg]

I agree to keep the correct 31 frame with the car.
Things always work best and keep better value when correct parts are used together.
If you wind up with a good spare frame, then it can be sold or traded for needed parts.

that's one of the 'problems' the parts pile is growing exponentially,the wife is beginning to notice,if you know what i mean..

Over the years Craigslist has been very good to me,my current project benefited from a 1500 dollar investment yielding 5 to 7 k worth of value. That being said the flake factor is so high I don't really get excited over a deal like this,if it comes in great,if it doesn't no problem.Its like the show '48 hours' if communication doesn't continue in the first 48 the deal is as good as dead..it passed 48 last night,Ill let my offer sit and watch it,but the odds currently are way down,80-20 against..
