A few days ago, I happened to be lookin' at a couple Model A Fords for sale on a farm with my BIL. I wandered around the side of one of the barns to look at some Model A frames the farmer had stacked up, and low and behold I see some Orange through the brush on the hill behind the barn. Soooo, I take a stroll up the hill to take a look, and here's a 416 shuttle sitting in the jig weeds. Looks like its all there. Further investigation netted two 416 shutlle's! Another in front of the one I spotted. Also deeper in the brush. I asked the farmers son what the deal is with those and he said he didnt' know what was wrong with them, but they'll probably go for scrap when Dad passes. I'm not sure how popular 416 Shuttles are, but it looked like a pretty good size GT to say the least... Are they worth yankin' them out of the brush? Hmmmmm......

If the price is right they are always worth it.

Only worth fixing somethings pending condition . Other wise you are like me I have better projects awaiting me that are far more worth time and effort .

They almost always are worth something in parts if not worthy of getting running again. 400 series have some some parts exclusive to them that are getting harder to find. If you can get them bought right. Electric lift ,Headlights and certainly the Plastic fuel tank if not cracked.
