    I’d say they did. A life time of goods.
     
  5. Don Babb went thru many different cars and always had a bunch of each, 49 to 51 Fords, 28 - 29 Ford tubs and roadsters, 34 Fords. He had a restoration business in San Fernando in the 60's specializing in 34 Fords. Is this his stash of 35 / 36 Fords?

    Glad he was able to literally save those goodies for someone else to enjoy.

    That's incredible! Just curious, was it listed on Craig's List? Any idea on what they were asking for a price?

    For all the anti social media guys this is the kind of stuff you miss out seeing. It was posted on Instagram last Tuesday.

    I saw a price of $35,000 for the nine cars (not all complete) and the parts.

    He who gets the stash wins... a dead guy is dead and a 36 won’t fit in a coffin.

    Didn’t see any airplane parts so I doubt there any wings there.

    kinda makes you wonder why taildraggers with whitewalls and skirts are so popular with these cars these days....

    this is what 36 fords are supposed to look like

    :rolleyes:...I believe 35/6 Coupes wear both Hotrod/Race/Custom equally well but that is just my opinion of course and all are Showcased well within the Forums here thankfully.

    Anyone have any in the Garage yet from this Treasure Trove of Metallic Bliss...

    I can’t see how anyone could improve the looks of this car, timeless beauty.

    I missed this post a few years ago but I have a "stash" of projects in SC.
    3 window, 5 window, roadster(2), flatheads, T5s, frames, grilles, fenders, wheels, decklids, NOS rare stuff.
    Storage costs have gone up and my lifespan expectation has gone down.......

    $50K / offer - will fill 2 large shipping containers.

    Not too far off the beaten path if u are going to the Turkey Rod Run this year.

    This blows my mind I'm new here and have wanted a 32 ford Vicky since 2 years before I was old enough to drive. Now I am retired and I'm going to have one. No wife, no life, just me and my dog, so I have all the time in the word to make it happen.

    Must have been fun collecting all those 35-36 Coupes and having a place to store them inside. Wonder how big a building the buyer has and how many truck loads it will take to move all the stuff to the new home. Thank you to everyone above that posted old info on Don Babb.
