Tweet

Ok I know I posted this before but now it's in the correct spot so I will post it again. If anyone lives near or in Charlotte, Monroe, Matthews, Waxhaw or maybe even Rock Hill and have a car or truck for sale (preferably in the 30's and some 40's) or any year under the 70's then let me know. I have been looking for quite some time and still can't find any. I also am not looking for anything over 5 or 6000 bucks. Thanks.

What make....model....condition.....etc, I'll keep an eye out.

Ay man thanks a lot. Umm... anything Chevy, Mostly wan't a 37 Chevy truck or a older 30's or 40's Mercury. If you know of anything at all then let me know. I wan't something with a 350 in it or bigger. I don't have much money at all so trying to look for something even under 4500 if possible. Also for the condition, I know it's hard to find car's out here with no or little body rust but I wan't something with not a lot of it. Also where at exactly do you live? Is it ON lake norman? Thanks again!

Also forgot to add, any coupes are nice but doubt I can find any in my price range. Buick's, OLD Cadi's, or 30's or 40's Ford Trucks are nice too. Basically anything under the year 69. Thanks again.

There's a 49-50 Chevy 2 door for sale up here on Hwy 16, haven't stopped and looked but it's not bad from the road. Don't know any particulars but I could stop and get you a number if you like and maybe a pic or two.
Most of the family lives ON the lake but I prefer more dirt around me than I could afford ON the lake. The kids love the lake but I can take it or leave it.

Yeah man a picture and number would be great! Any idea how much? Thanks a lot for helping with that too. But yeah I have been to that lake a few, not bad but I prefer the desert.

Is highway 16 Providence? If so then I live right off that street.
Ok yeah I am dumb, I live right off Providence right after that new road to Rea Road is at (going towards Waxaw) in the new developement with some million dollar homes. I haven't seen any old car's around here but yeah any info on it would be really helpful. Thanks again.

Yeah, Providence on your end. I'm speaking of Hwy 16 just inside Lincoln County. You would take 74W, get onto Brookshire Blvd, cross the Catawba River into Gaston County. Just after you leave Gaston and enter Lincoln it's on the right, about the 4th-5th house. That's about 15-17 miles from downtown Charlotte. If you map it, it's about 1 mile east of Lowesville.
I'll get you a number and photo.

Alright I think I know where your talking about. I will try and map it on mapquest. I have been down that way a few times but just forget street names, like I will know the name of the street but can't picture where it's at and all.

Ok well I am looking on Mapquest.com but can't find lincoln anywhere. I am trying to see where your talking about but can't find it. I see W and E Brookshire Freeway and that' it. Sorry for all the complication, I am just trying to figure out exactly where this place is at.
Oh, almost forgot, do you know what kind of chevy it is? car or truck? Also do you think it will be a lot?
Thanks a ton.

Put LOWESVILLE NC in Mapquest.
It's a 2 door car, Chevrolet, 1950 I think.

Ok thanks a lot man I think I found it. Yeah if the car is a Nova or anything like that then that will be nice as well. Anything that I can fix up pretty damn nice will be good with me since it will be my first.

Oh yeah about what kind of car it is.... is it a coupe kind or Nova, chevelle (sp), Imapala?

FMX Hellraiser.

I know your young, but chevy made only one kind of car in the early 50's. No Novas, Impalas, etc. If it is a two door it could be a coupe (Sedan) or a fastback (Aeroback they called them.)

Not picking on you, understand. Just giving you info.

I also belive they were divided into things like Fleetmaster and Stylemaster or things like that.
