What to look for when buying a M-151

[Dumbdog]

Does this make a ford 151a2 a harder to find variant ,does it make it or other variants more or less valuable ?
Is it valuable to post a value guide also even though it might be subjective it gives insight ?

The Ford build A2 is definitely harder to find, whether that ad value to it is debatable. As we all know with historic vehicles, what they are worth is all in what people are willing to pay for them. I have not seen a big difference in the pricing on the Fords with the exception of the 1970 Ford. The rest of the A2 line are all pretty consistent.

The first thing I check would be the name carved in the steering wheel...I could go on but you get the idea...All you need to look at is the front floor board seam it tells the whole story....if it looks doctored then the front crossmember is gone which means the tail light panel is gone...which means the battery box is gone.
