Thread: Barn Find

Tweet

Some people are computer ilitterate. I know a guy who still has his 55 sitting in the front yard collecting weeds. He wouldn't sell it, yet he lets the earth consume it each year. If the right person at the right time offered him a wad of cash, he'd sell it, just not today.

Twitch, Sorry to be confusing. I did not sell the 57. I bought it early last year for $12,500. I then got it running, like I described. It's a good car, and could be made really nice - if I spend considerable cash and do a frame off. My point is that with the original $12,500 investment, and another $20,000 or so to get it really nice, I could maybe get $35,000. But according to you - much more! I like your thinking!!

Here's our barn find, really, it was in a barn! A '36 Ford 5 window coupe that hasn't been on the road since the late 60's. Solid and complete.

heres one of the rigs i got to start moving around to make room for more http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/HPIM0718.jpg

As best I can tell this has been stored inside since 1958. I just bought it & had it delivered from Kansas/Nebraska bourder.
Car needs NO rustrepairs, patch panels or panel replacement. Even the tool boxes in the lower section of the trunk have factory paint. Car has not been goobered with except 4" dropped axle & spring.





My plans include:
MII front suspension
2 carb intake
REDS headers
S10 T5 / 5 speed trans
open drive
18 & 20" hoops with moon style almn. disc covers
updated interior - '92-4 lexus 2 door fits - I've seen it in a few others
Super low front & rear

Here is my barn find story is inside for 50 yrs . Owner i purchased from had it inside since 1989 , metal does show inside life.

behind that door is a one owner restored to new 65 tri power GTO .. i knew the owner .. he passed away bout 10 years ago .. his sons redid his car and sealed it in this vault where it will remain for another 30 years or so.. there is also several A or T model fords in various stages hidden there ..

I've been trying to get my hands on this one for years

i spent a good deal of time pretending to be bonnie & clyde in this car when i wore a childs clothes ..

no this aint me in the ditch again .. this little pinto has been siting in this same spot since about 1976 .. i passed it every day going to school ..

buddy of mine plans to build a bike around this
