E-Bay Can Work
Been a busy weekend for me. Found this very cool little 46 Ford Tudoor Sedan on E-Bay. Been wanting a Fat Fendered Ford for years, but man how risky can this be, buying unseen of E-bay?? Not wanting to ship and wanting the car in my shop as soon as the deals done means one thing---- A long drive. So mywife and I leave Alabama Friday at Noon and head for Pennsylvania to pick it up. Got a small window of time to get in and out as there is this monster winter storm coming up there.
We kind of beat the storm. Temp in Alabama when we leave is 68, temp in PA when we get there is 24 and its just starting to snow a little. We meet the folks with the car finish the deal, load up and head south as fast as we can. Stop at a Holiday Inn for some badly needed sleep about 200 miles south somewhere in Virginia. Temp there was in the high 40 when we stop, 8 hours later its 26 and theres a lot of Ice. We split anyway and finally drove out of the rain and sleet in Roanoke.
Was really concerned buying a Hot Rod this way, but this time the car was way beyond my expectations. Very cool little Ford, take a look and let me know what you think.

Protected people will never know or understand the intensity life can be lived at. To do that you must complettly and totally understand the meaning of the word "DUCK"
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
