Barn Find!!! 35 Plymouth coupe...

Struck a little sheetmetal gold last night in the form of a 35 plymouth coupe with rumble seat...bought her off of the second owner who has owned it since 1978...the weird thing about this one is that about 7 months ago I was wearing a RUST REVIVAL TEE SHIRT at my twin boys' school when one of the teachers said, "I like your shirt...we have an old car"...she told me what it was and said it would never be for sale...Thursday night on a whim I checked the local craigslist cl***ifieds and she had posted an ad five minutes earlier and I sent her an email and she remembered talking to me and the next morning we struck a deal...she bought it as a sophomore in high school from the original owner for his original purchase price in 1935 of 625 bux...her and her father went through everything on this baby over the years and had the body acid bathed etc...it is so gennie that it hurts as now I am conflicted...I think the plan will be to, as my friend puts it, to build a "gentlemans hotrod" with old school performance stuff like an edmunds 2 x 1 with strombergs, split the pipes, etc...but to maintain her natural good looks...a color change will probably happen but for now we are gonna date for awhile before I try to get to second base...one of the pix shows it how it was sitting in the barn when I picked it up last night

 

One word...Magic.

Nice find. Good luck.

Was so jacked up last night I couldn't sleep to which I got the usual..."I wish you were as excited about me as you are about your cars..."

 

Livin' right? Oh hell yeah! Kool Karma Kome's Knockin'!

 

Sweet find! I had a 35 Dodge coupe body one time but ended up giving it to the best man at my wedding! He never did find all of the missing trim for it.....

 

Tell her to get in the car naked and see what happens.

 

to which I answer, no matter how much you think so, it takes more work to get YOU running so I can take a ride than the car. And I never mind giving my buddies a ride in the car

gets me the silent treatment long enough to put some time in the cars

good find! father in law picked up a BIG 36 olds 4 door sedan that I wouldn't mind doing that with.

 

IMO it would be wrong to mess with that.
I even like the color.
Fine, fine automobile. Just gorgeous.

 

wow dude! She's a babe! Mind letting her date around?

I like the 'gentlemans hot rod' idea.

 

Please do not let anything GM rub, bolt, or otherwise get near that beautifull Mopar!

 

What a hunk o ****! Just kidding, I think I'd romance that baby around town awhile before I do anything to it. Nice find.

 

beautiful

 

too cool...

 

awesome... I like the "gentleman's hot rod" idea...

 

She looks pretty hot for being 73 yrs old.

 

What a great story. Congrats.

 

"Gentlemans hot rod". Yea, that's the way to go with this one. VERY sweet find.

Memo to self: Wear hot rod shirts ALL THE DAMN TIME!

 

WOW!! What a stroke of luck....you just happen to check craigslist minutes after it's listed............stuff like that never happens to me!! Great find. The split pipes and some other hop-up goodies sounds cool!!

Women do sometimes feel like they are competing with the cars. Try ***uring her that the car will never fix supper, wash your clothes or bring you a cold beer Women love a sweet talker............

 

that's Awesome........ All I ever find is the junk thats past the rusty stage.
That's Kool.

 

Man, the planets must have been lined up just right-an unbelievable find.

 

KNOCK IT OFF STORMKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Wow, that thing is NICE. "Gentleman's hot rod" sounds like a cool idea, but I am interested to see what happens when you get carried away. Great find.

 

damn fine score man!! congrats..

 

Just got home from picking the kids up at school and the UPS guy is standing there checking out and is all pissed off and wants to know where I found it...when I told him where he freaks out because he has been delivering to that house for almost 20 years and never knew it was there

 

sweet find

 

I'm diggin' the color myself, reminds me of the blue AMT molded some of their stuff in the early 60's.
