Waffling On Base Price. Can They Make $6,800?

What, no love for the Model T behind that?

Only if it was a '31-'32 Model A.

Myself, I'm nuts for aircooled engines/cars. Exception made for Subys.

Yup, and the car right beside the Yugo (also cheap), gave millions of people world wide exactly what they paid for.

Big difference between 31 and a 32, me I want both
as for the old beetles, eh, not really a fan...

I would also suggest you add Polski Fiat's to that list of exceptions. Nothing like driving in 36 C weather from Budapest to Balaton on the M7 in August crammed into a Polski Fiat.

A buddy had an "all original" '31, but sold it to buy a '32 Hot rod. Not one piece of it made by Ford Motor Company.

I've lived by the rule 'You get what you pay for' when making any major purchase. Cheap raises my inner red flag. What is it about EM's marketing an affordable (Cheap Commuter) that seems to defy the logic? We haven't seen and or driven the finished product. We are all eager to position ourselves to be the early adopters 'test the waters' on build quality, performance/handling, and long term reliability. A fleet of 50,000 + test pilot Elio's. Fun to be a part of, but it simply defies logic.

My first car was a '59 VW. I purchased it knowing without a doubt that it was cheap, reliable, and had a few built in quirks and no gas gauge. I got exactly what I paid for and liked it.

Yea, that's my goal, a bone stock 31 (ok with shocks and heat) and a 32 hot rod.

My favorite version of a Model A is a '31 400 series...they're so graceful looking...

I used to drive a restored '28 2-Dr. sedan to work as long as it was not raining...(powder blue in color with dark blue fenders)
