All I could say was wow!

So here I am at the store this morning and a guy pulls up and says I hear you buy old cars.Depends on what ya got says I. Come on out and take a look..... Needless to say I,m buying 2 63 1/2 Fords,a not too shabby 64 Ford and the 61 Cadillac. The Fords are 2 door hardtops and the Caddy a 4 door hardtop. The 63,s and the Caddy are $125.00 each and the 64 is $400.00. There were cars in the bush everywhere as well as 19 Ford 1/2 tons! 52 or 3 Merc,58 Custom Royal,more 63,s and 64,s, a 59 Stude,59 Chevy wagon with overdrive,Mopars and more!

 

You should do a tech. on how to get them out of the woods. haha

 

my uncle used to drag one of those 62-63 fords at scoduc in nb trying to track it down or any pics of it he won lots with it

 

More....

 

how much for that panel??

 

Rear of panel is rotted to the ground.....

 

congrats ! at least he was realistic about his prices rather than thinking he had a gold mine

 

you did good!
and the guy came to you inviting you over, thats nice when that happens, ive had that happen also.

 

that's a lot of rusty metal in there.

 

Too bad about the 59 wagon.

 

i could use that 59 dash and who sing's that song???

 

That would be Johnny Cash. "one piece at a time". It was a 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55 automobile.

 

nope im gettin black betty but someone different than i've heard

 

found song on youtube band name is spiderbait neat video too with looks like 36-37 roadster in it

 

Car in the spiderbait video clip is a 36 Dodge roadster. Was built by a friend of mine over 20 years ago but is now in Queensland, Australia which I think is where spiderbait hails from.

 

S**** prices are way down and the guy knows I want as much as I can buy but it will only be 4 cars for now.He would rather see the parts get saved for other restorations.I,m glad he doesn,t think it,s a gold mine.While there are a lot of great parts the work it will take to get them and part them out won,t be easy.

 

Just posted the original version by Johnny Cash, video and song lyrics. Just go to the Hail, Hail, Rock & Roll Social Group and look for HiWay 61 Garage. Lots of other traditional American music there too. Check it out.

Nice to see some old treasures saved.

 

Let me know if you dig up a decent set of 61 Cadi hub caps!

 

the spiderbait cover of ghost riders kicks ***...

 

woulda been nice to find that stash about 20yrs ago...glad you were able to rescue a few this time.

 

Apparently 20 years ago there were 50 more cars......Apparently the 53 Merc and 53 Lincoln I stripped elsewhere came from here!

 

The guy said there was a set of NEW OLD STOCK wheelcovers in the trunk still in the wrappers.I don,t get them. Make an offer and I,ll ask him how much he will take.

 

Hey Mike ,What's that black 63 1/2 ford like..Is it restorable ??...The one with the ford truck hood on the front..The other one's in the pics are 64's..

 

I would say no but who am I to decide the skills of others. I am buying 2 63 fastbacks but there are more 64,s and 63,s there.I,ll know better when I pull them out.I,m buying those actually to part out.Gotta pay for them somehow!

 

I gotta go on a shoping spree with you one of these days!

That '57 International would make a kool shop truck.

 

Wow !! Lots of good parts in there. If you start putting price to parts it's a bargin >>>>.

 

Ya...I figure the 61 Cad grill is worth the $125.00 for the whole car.

 

Mike if one of the 63 fastbacks is restorable ,my buddy might be interested ...Keep me in mind..
