    My buddy stumbled into this, as he usually does. He has a thing for ugly cars (they seem to find him and he seems to buy them)

    This one isn't so ugly though - kinda like it.

    '41 Ford Cpe
    the start of a Hot Rod - '70s 350 backed by the original ****** via some type of aluminum adaptor deal. - it even runs.

    A little tender around the bottom edges - but not that bad overall for a New England car.

    Best part is that it is complete (with some ***embly required)

    Guess the story is that the guy stripped it and got sick stortly after. The car sat in an empty chicken coop for several years in bare metal - so it has lots of surface rust.

    Pictures:

    ps - I'm sure he could be talked out of it if you are interested (this is not "For Sale" but everything he owns is - so I would imagine this is as well)

    Suprisingly it doesn't even smell bad. there was no "interior" in it and I think the chickens were long gone before this was put in the coop.
