    How SWEEEEET!

    Don't you wish you had the extra money just laying around.

    I would be like a kid with money burning a hole in my pocket!

    I've already spent all my extra money on my 35 foot motorhome, now the family and I can enjoy the races with a little bit of home. A/C for when it's hot or heat for when it's cold, no more sleeping on the ground for me!

    See you all at VMP.

    Its already up to $4,150 with 6 days to go.....This may be a record! :)

    Actually, I kinda hate to see the cars go up in value...harder to buy in my price range. I would like them to get more respect and that seems to be related to the price of the cars. :(

    If that car is truly in its original condition its a helluva find.
    I think final bid will be pushing 7 grand.

    Dang, I was hopin none of you would find this car:D It has a bling affect goin on me. So now I am thinking, well I guess I dont have to have an enclosed car trailer. If I bought this grabber I could drive it to Carlisle, that would be a lot of fun. So I called my banker, he says I can get a cashiers check if I win the auction on the car, but get this, he wants me to pay the money back!!!

    My Model A is a fordor blindback. Which means yes its a four door, suicide doors. But here is the real rare part, it does not have rear qtr glass. Extremely rare car. It looks like a Lincoln of the era, only smaller. They only built 5500 of them and I have never seen another one in person. Cant sell it, I have a problem, it is real hard for me to sell a car. But if I do buy the grabber the Spoiler is going up for sale. I must be crazy, the wife thinks I am for sure!

    Has anybody talked to the seller about this car. The engine compartment looks too clean to be original. The cast gray looks like it has been painted on the supports and A/C compressor. Also - were the hood hinges originally painted the same as the body color (they werent on my 71 - the fender bolts weren't painted body color either - they were all natural)? Also - All the grabbers I have seen have had the steering column with the pad all the way across. Also - the air cleaner with the vaccuum looks 73 era - not 72. And why are the window crank knobs yellow instead of black to match the interior? Were the cold air intakes next to the radiator available this early or was it later years? Just wondering :D
