Art & Inspiration Interesting inexpensive Craigslist cars

Which lot# ?

 

This one? One of those Model A 3 winders wit' parallel springs?

Lot 32: Ford Model A Car
Ch***is number 4831234, no engine or transmission, missing floorboard, missing door windows, rear cab window. Front window is cracked, 6.50–16 tires, spoke rims, all tires are holding air, missing seat, several loose components in cabin, missing front bumper, Missing cloth roof, being sold with bill of sale.

 

I love the interior on that Chrysler, and the whole car looks like it would clean up really nicely.

Some cool parts on that 'homemade model t project'

 

looks like early 30's Plymouth

 

They do look like Ford wheels though, same bolt pattern?

That DeSoto floor is tough, no matter what the price.
Next to the Buick, which probably has patch panels available and is more popular AND cheaper, he's going to have that in the barn for a while.

 

Another DeSoto, lots of teeth

I would think the Desoto is over priced for what is there, but then I think most stuff available these days is over priced, so I won't go there.

I've been playing with 46-48 Mopar cars for years. I have never seen an actual floor pan or rockers on any of them that wasn't rotted out someplace. I also have never bought any fabricated floor pans or rockers for any of them.
The floor pans are mostly flat (the reason they rotted out, water just sat on them).

I use 18 gauge sheet metal for the floors and I use 11 gauge (1/8" wall) 2" square tubing for the rockers. The tubing makes it easy to attach the outer body to the rusted off floor braces, then once that is done, I use the 18 gauge sheet metal to replace the missing floor. I could buy a length of the tubing and a sheet of 18 gauge sheet metal for less then someone's ****py fitting floor pans.

 

Floors on the '48 Plym I had for 15 years was solid, with rust in various parts of the body, the floors on the '47 Dodge on the other hand....

 

not HAMB style, pretty incomplete, pretty high, but also when was the last time you saw one?

Anglia panel 6500 PHOENIX

34 Ford frame NO ***le, NO VIN #. Custom fabricated front engine mounts with vintage Hurst mount plate... Nicely Modified X member and transmission mount. NO rear axle, but mounts are installed for Posi's leaf spring kit. Hydraulic front brakes and original wishbones.. Most of the work was done by a highly skilled Michigan farmer in the 60's. Need a project, here it is.

 

Sure hope that one finds a good home. It sounds like a solid start, even if it's not popular. That price offers a lot of room to get it going.

 

Fordson E83W Van. Rare bird. That's kind of a shame. Mike

 

Thanks for the ID! A few pictures. http://www.e83w.co.uk/
Well, @flamedabone just started another 34, so someone else with skills will have to grab this one.

 

Man, that Chrysler is a good deal. The fenders alone are probably worth that! Hopefully someone saves it.

I'll see your Continental and raise it a Zephyr with a 331 Cad.

It is a Continental, not a Zephyr. I always liked those.

That Cheetah looks like something @drumyn29 would drag home!

 

I’d drive it

 

I know but when I see it I see a zephyr convertible.

Cheetah... "cough, cough". Hell yes...

^^ Now that one is actually interesting and inexpensive. I'm sure it was a butcher job that's going to take some metalwork to fix. But someone with some sheetmetal talent and maybe some cutoffs from a donor car could make a hell of a fine sled out of that for that price, would be well worth the effort.
