ESTATE SALE : I am helping a neighbor and friend sell part of their estate. I am a old car driver and familiar with the computer so they asked me to help. ATTENTION at the time of sale you will be introduced to and pay the widow and son of a popular local car collector. I am merely facilitating. The gentleman owned this truck for many years and had it completely restored. However he passed on about 7 years ago and just now the family is ready to let a couple go. Before it was put up for sale it was pulled out of hibernation and it was sent back to a Model A restore shop for a complete go over.

It was in storage for it's life while it was being used and more recently for a few years. This is exceptionally solid truck and has been well maintained. All the fenders and body panels are solid with no signs of body work. Mechanically it needs nothing. A new set of tires is recommended before extensive highway use. Complete pictured reguvination report is available. "Truck is being sold as-is and where is. Buyer must pick-up or arrange shipping. However we can help find worldwide shipping at the buyers expense. If you want more pictures or description please do not hesitate to ask. Bid with confidence as this is a remarkably nice truck. We are placing a very very fair reserve on the vehicle as it does need to sell. You can leave a message at (805) 460-7188 and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Car is for sale locally so we need reserve the right to end early.

We got it freed (as it was frozen from setting) but have not reinstalled. On Jan-14-15 at 17:19:11 PST. seller added the following information:I have had a couple "A" experts write to say it is a late 1930 model even though it is titled and licensed as a 1931. Just wanted to clarify. I'm told that late 30s models were sometimes sold right in to early 1931. It's a beauty either way! The reserve has been lowered for the last time. It needs to sell even if it doesn't reach its full potential. So please only bid if you are sincere and ready to purchase.
