Damn!

 

I think it's funny how collections of cars by people who know what they are are now "barn finds". This looks like a stash to me.

I always thought "barn find" meant that you found a long forgotten car that had been pushed into a shed by the original owner back when it was just an old car.

Someone just posted a pair of cars that had been in a garage for 10 years unused after the owner died as a barn find. That ain't a barn find, it's buying cars from the widow of the collector who had em.

If there ain't chickens screwing in the backgound of your photo, I'm not buying it as a barn find.

 

Welcome to the 39 & 40 Mercury Convertible club!!

We are a small but stoked group!!

 

Everyone needs a "barn" like that out back. Looks more like a warehouse or huge ba*****t. The kinda barn Jay Leno has below his shop or, muesum.

 

as you can tell from the ***le of my post (or maybe you can't), im actually poking fun at the term "barn find"..

by the way,,,,my car has actually spent 30+ years in the "barn"

 

Great car.

I'd say, if you really want a '36 3wd, you could find someone who would trade.

That is some stash in that barn.....I hear lots of drooling

 

You mean like this?

 

does he take trades

 

yeah,,,,you trade him some cash for a car,,,,

all kidding aside,,he does not,,,

 

i was thinkin a car for a cAR

 

i knew what you meant,,was just messin with you,,,,
he does not take any trades....

 

bummer

 

i'd like to find a lincoln 368 if i can,,,i think i'll probably have a hard time doing that though,,,

 

................The more I keep looking at this car....the more I like it
Your one lucky dude....I hope you keep us informed on your progress

You should find at least one about 100 yards from where the Merc is parked, still in a junk Lincoln.

 

seriously??....wow,,how cool...i'll have to ask him about that..

thanks carl

 

Now that's my kind of barn!

 

Welcome to the MERC club.

 

Yea!, now that's a barn find! (Imagine having to clean off all that chicken ****, Uhgg!! And I thought rat turds were gross)

 

Congratulations !! I really love that Merc !
hey, where´s JB ? He sure has something to tell ´bout 40´Merc convertibles and their transformations...

 

I LOVE the willys tailights on this 37/38 Ford coupe...

 

Looks a lot like my friend Toms buildings, he parks things with a floor jack bout 2 inches between cars

looks like a 50 Olds Ragtop in there, nice stash

 

Wow what a collection!

 

yes,,,,he does that too,,,barely 2 inches between the cars,,,,
you have a good eye,,that is a 50 olds convertible,,,he may sell it too he said...

 

Umm I think I need to be introduced. 39-40 Merc is next on the list. Nice score. Awesome 41 Caddy, Daily driver shoebox coupe, and now a chopped merc convert. I need to be in your business. Good goin.

Jim,
If I can manage to get that '46 Plymouth Club Coupe in the back barn, I'd be a happy camper. So far I'm content getting the engine out of the blue '55 Dodge ( it's goin into my '39 Plymouth) near your Merc. 'Got it yesterday.
That Merc vert you're gettin is way cool.
