1930 Ford Model A V8 Additional Info:

We are not a car dealership or a classic car marketer: not a critical remark; only an observation. Starting bid is $19,000. There is NO reserve. And, No, my dog, cat, mechanic, lot guy, mother, manservant will not be bidding against you.
We've owned for more than two years. Someone observed in an email that this is a questionable time to sell a collector car: not really. Anyone who is interested in buying this wonderful and unique automobile have not been that adversely effected, and it's priced accordingly anyway. Of course, you could always dial the VIN and negotiate a price.
