Well, I've seen worse. I don't think Viagra is going to help get this one up, but if you have the time and the ground's not frozen why not? Usually they're the other way around, someone might want to patch it up, I see some rot to the bottoms but nothing super frightening.

Besides, we all saw on eBay the coupe-roadster Model A that had about half a roof with a $2,000 buy it now price, I bet that guy would buy this one from you...

Oh yeah. Looks like if it is a Ford, it's a Model T. I saved the pic and flipped it 180' to make it easier to look at.

 

Man...even if the roof is completely gone (okay, pillers and headers), it looks like there's some stuff worth salvaging. I think I saw a hood panel in the background, too. Frame and other bits might be close by.
I'll bet if you go out there with a weed whacker, it isn't as burried as it looks. Still several inches down...maybe a foot...but not hopeless.
It's a cliche, but cut the roof off of it...that'd make for a killer "before/after" photo when the car is finished!

Is it smashed or just buried in the grass and dirt? If its smashed, forget it.

 

I seen that coupe-roadster model 'A' also on ebay for a 2,000 buy it now. This one should be a coupe-roadster model 'T' buy it now for 4,000.

 

looks like the makings of a roadster to me, start digging

 

dig....

 

Get out with the shovel, shouldn't be more then a couple of hours work there....

 

It looks to be a 26-27 ford coupe. I may be wrong but sure looks like what I have in the back yard. It's free. Won't cost anything but a little labor. Parts will sell even if you don't keep the whole body. Dig!

 

ya i will have to wait till the frost is out but i think ill give it a shot thanks for the input

 

It's a 1926 or 1927 Model T coupe, if I was close by I'd have it my yard by now. Check out TRJ #17 for some inspiration.

 

Turned upside down and painted it looks like this....

 

If I found it I would be digging!!!

 

26 or 27 Tall T coupe, The window garnishes, if good are worth the dig

 

It's a 26-7 Ford.

If you dig it up, I have some body panels that might make bringing it back easier. Or if you don't want it, I'm interested in it. I'm just down the road from ya. Let me know your plans.

And welcome to the HAMB!

 

looks like the beginings of the 'Roach Rod' Go get it, you dont need a stinkin roof

 

Yeah Jeff, you know what it's like to start with the ruff tin.

 

boy, you got yer self there a start on one mean roadster!!! get out the hacksaw and grab yer self a body!

 

If it's yours for the taking, take it. I've seen people resurrect worse shit around here. If you don't use it, someone else will.

 

if it was me id be diggin' that sob out i dont know what the ground is like up there but down here in arizona it helps if you soak the ground before you start digging. let us know what happens and include pictures once you get it out!

 

Dig! Mine were worse!

 

I can't believe you took the time to post before digging..... I'd be on that like a duck on a junebug. My 31 looks rougher than that one. I know of an old Essex 2 door sedan sitting in the woods near where I used to live. I'm going after it when I get the chance. I think it's a 27 or 8. Good luck.

 

Nice roadster with good rockers. Start digging (or at least cutting)

 

Hey, I know ya'll are after the body of this car, but I'm after the body of this guy. Yea, but he's mine, so don't even think about it. I'm not supposed to tell this to anyone, but he actually loves me more than cars I know, I know, every guys says that (well maybe not) but all I've got to say is he'd better love me more than this heap of rust. Oops..have I gone too far? Seriously, though-- I support his affair--cars obviously rev his engine in a way I just can't, and I'll accept it.

 

Hey FNewGirl!! Zimm sounds like you have a keeper with her.....and you got this thing dug up yet?!?!

 

Are we sure this is a Ford? The turtle deck and "phonebooth" roof look '20s Ford, but the carriage line on the cowl is something Ford didn't do until 1928, I didn't think.

 

See here?

 

Nope, I'm wrong, sorry.

 

obviously your not from new england!!! my 98 chevy pickup is rotted more than that....around here we would call that "MINT"
