I added another car to the collection this past weekend when I had a 1930 Ford Model A Murray Bodied Town Sedan brought down from Wisconsin. A friend of mine told me about this car back in October of last year and he sent pictures of the car to my email. I thought it was a nice looking unit but the $5000 the lady was asking was out of my price range. So a few months go by and my friend told me that the lady in Wisconsin still had the car for sale and she had lowered her price. After hearing that I promptly got a hold of her and got as much info on the car that I could. It was described as being in great shape, and since I have always wanted to add a Ford Model A to the collection I shot her an offer of $3500 and she accepted! That was back in December. I got the car paid for and then the process of getting the car down started. I eventually found someone that could bring the car down and yesterday my beautiful 1930 Ford Model A arrived! The car is in fantastic shape. It hasn"t been run for approximately 8 years, but before they parked it it was a running and driving car used in Parades and the such. The engine turns over with ease. Now I just need to do some cleaning up of things and try and get her to start. The wood on the car is in great shape from what I can tell, there isn"t a whole lot of rot anywhere. The body is in great shape as well, there is just one spot with a little rust at the bottom of the cowl on the passenger side. The interior is in great shape for being original, although I did have to clean out a few mouse nests. All in all I am very pleased with the new addition to the collection and I hope to have her running soon. I just have to find time to work on her between balancing school and work.
I hope you have enjoyed the story and pictures, as well I look forward to the replies!

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
