Model A nmna

Seems expensive but I don't know the market for these.

It is expensive.

For reference, my uncle bought this '29 A pickup in '75 for $4500.  It has been passed to my dad and now me.  It is complete and runs, but will need a water pump and some work on the cowl tank.

I estimate it is worth about the same as he paid back in '75.

I've been watching for a Model A. The prices I've been seeing are quite a bit higher than that. 
 

Id say yours could be worth $12K- $18K

I'm looking for just a body and they are way more than I expected.

I knew one local that was a decent but older restoration of a 2 door rumble seat model with full top (I think?). It sold for around 18-20k about 10 years back.

Pricesfor Model As have been static or downward trending for a while. The people that grew up with them, loved them & lusted after one are pretty much gone. The people that knew how to fix them are mostly gone. The roads that were happy with 35 mph traffic are rare & the thrill of driving in traffic with mechanical drum brakes is not for the uninitiated. Don't get me wrong I'd love one but I am old & it probably wouldn't leave Frederick county more than once a year.

Cool old truck, especially with the family history!

It's not as nice as the (blurry) photo makes it look.  

It was called an "amateur restoration" back in '75, and was brush painted by a farmer that found it in someone's back 40 in Wisconsin.   The passenger rear fender appears to be wholly constructed of dents and poorly applied Bondo chunks that had dried during application.   It is assembled with mismatched fasteners and prayers.     I have watched the values on these since I bolted the bed back on as a kid, and I feel I am pretty close.

I first drive this one as preteen.    It was beyond sketchy in traffic during the '70s.   I wouldn't want to go faster than bicycle speed around the neighborhood now.  

If he has a legit Ohio title in his name for it, that's cheap.

Looks like only a short hop to SpeedsterVille.
