Won raffle - 1931 Model A

thats a antique for sure

 

Are you going to drive it around any?

At my son's urging, I recently entered a raffle for a 1940 Ford convertible. I'm not sure what I would do if I won, but fortunately it's not likely.

 

That's a Victoria...very nice car, fairly rare, looks great. Don't get lowballed. Drive it too, kinda fun for LJ/Palomar trips?

 

Way cool!

 

How much is something like that worth??

 

You spend $10 for the raffle, I'll give you $1000 for it, think of the return you're getting, in cold, hard cash.

j/k. That's a sweet little ride there, hopefully it finds a good home.

 

That's pretty cool--congrats Bill!!!!

 

This is a rare opportunity. In a world constantly seeking to go faster, there's a certain charm and detachment that comes with taking your sweet time in an automobile like this. I say keep it and make small reversable mods to make it driveable for you. You might even get bit by the classic/antique car bug. I say keep it.

needs spinnaz, neons and vtech...

congrats man, looks like fun

 

i'll give you $10 for it. it's always good to break even.

 

thats pretty neat. Have fun with it, good conversatin piece.

 

You should show it off and drive it until you are bored with it. Then you should donate it back to the museum. After all, they are in need of money.

 

Have you driven it? How's it ride?

 

I think Nikki has the right idea. Or, sell it back to them cheap.

 

Get her a Mini, its safer.

 

I'm sure it's a safe first car for a high schooler. Just made sure the airbags have been serviced.

 

I am 6 3 and I fit fine in it (but indiviuals are different torso/leg/neck ratios).
Just feel its worth a try. Best of luck with whatever you choose.

 

$18k is more than a little high for a 31 Vicky, unless its a near 100 point car, and has some hsitory.

make sure you dont get TAXED on $18k for the transfer. Talk to yer accountant.

Had a similar situation when I won a custom Harley. The IRS agreed with me and my accountant. The raffle organizers will ALWAYS qoute way ABOVE top dollar for thier prize, for THEIR tax purposes.
