Why does every model A or T owner think...

...they can get five digits out of their rod?

For instance:

I mean, really?

And why do they have to always put a dang chevy engine in it

[SoCalExile]

LOL. I wonder the same thing everytime I see one.

Offer $2k and let him keep the engine/trans. Then put a Cleveland in it and hang on for dear life.

I would go with a flathead v8 if I ever get one

Well, if they were stupid enough to do the following....

...they have to always put a dang chevy engine in it

It stands to reason they are stupid enough to think that something like that would be worth 13G's.

The pucker factor on that car would be insane.

He should at least paint it a Satin Black or something to cover up the rust. They put a Chevy in it because it is all they know how to do. It is too hard to remember the bolt patterns on 3 or so different engines and transmissions.

Both cars pictured above have, what, 2 or 3 times more power than they can even start to lay down with those tires.
