    The one in the first pic...

    The rest you can sell to fund the first one, if you're thinking like me...

    Glad to see you lost the at***ude from your "what are they worth" post. I'd pick the yellow chev, looks like its closer to being on the road than the others.

    "Love the most" Probably the top two. I used to drive the 47 Chevy every day for about 2.5 years. The 54 Lincoln is just kool. It has pink and white tucknroll upholstery. I am about to have a baby in 1-4 weeks. I want a hotrod I can cruise around with my new 1st kid in.

    I'm not a shady car dealer who found some old estate sale looking to make a quick buck. I've had some of these cars since before my father p***ed and we never got to finish them because of that. I'm about to have a baby so I need to get rid of some projects and would like to daily drive one. It's kind of ridiculous the amount of cars and parts I have. Mainly because I never intended to sell any of them. :rolleyes:

    Now if you would have written that in your first post alot of these guys (including myself) have known where your motivation was coming from, I got rid of my british bikes before my son was born because it was the responsible thing to do at the time.

    I went on a road trip from Jackson, TN to Thunder Bay, Ontario and back in under 3 days. Picked up this bike for my brother.

    I say the yellow car or the ford pickup, i love the look of that pickup
     
  11. 1934 Chevy sedan. I say think of it more like keeping it for the family, your child, not to get it going as a baby buggy. It's been in the family since new. It's the obvious choice. It's cool. It'd make a great, mild, family sedan. What birthday do you think you can get it done by?

    Thanks,
    Kurt

    Keep the '34. Always.

    Sell the others except for the chopped Linc. The others should bring enough to get the Lincoln on the road.

    How long have you been in Jackson. I was there for 4 or 5 years. Still have family there.

    Oh I won't sell the 34 Chevy. When my father picked it up it still had Uncle Roscoe's cane, Stetson hat, and a newspaper sitting in the back seat. It would be driving but, 1. My father p***ed during the build and 2. I have 2 brothers and a mother that can't come together on decisions.

    The 54 Lincoln needs a windshield and some finishing. It has a 341 yblock and original drivetrain with about 50k miles I believe.

    The 53 Ford has a straight 6 3 spd on column. It runs.

    The 47 Chevy needs a engine transplant. I have a 305 sitting on an engine stand that I am about to drop in.

    The 34 Chevy needs agreement on solid direction of what my father wanted.

    I sold the Pontiac Silver Streak a couple years back, it ran great for the 11 years I drove it.

    Brake overhall and tires for most of the cars is a must.

    I lived here until I was 18 then I moved off. Came back a few years ago. I am wanting to move again in about 5 years or less. I own the Flamingo Auto Spa on Hwy 412 with my brothers and mother. I would like to open another somewhere else in about 5-10 years.

    Also if anyone has an offer on one of the cars or something I won't be a d*** and send it off to ebay if your offer is reasonable. I'm not really sure what the cars are worth these days. I picked up an Old Car trader mag today, and I am thinking about listing some for sale in there. It's hard to believe how little rust that Lincoln has on it.

    Some girls I work with today were talking to me and something came up about my cars. A guy started telling me his grandfather (who is ill), and uncle just started work on a 1949 Lincoln "cop car" he said they found in a barn in Missouri.

    It's hard to find barn finds these days I think.

    Don't sell anything. You will always regret it. If they are in the way find someplace to store them or something. They all have a lot of potential.

    They don't exactly sell an atomic clock for the exact date and time for when the baby is due bro. The turkey looks done. It's turned, dropped, and upside down. I'd say it's safe to say it's coming soon. The due date is April 1st though.

    Gotta sell something; I am out of space.

    It might come down to whatever is left, is just whatever I get to keep. I really like that Lincoln though. I have every single piece of trim + tons of buick trim for it. In all reality though it might be last one to go is the first one to keep.

    I have a 1993 Rx7 that I will sell soon too. The fiance really likes that car though. She is putting up a small fight. Maybe I will secretly sell it, and have them come pick it up during labor/child birth. Could tell her it got stolen and wallaa! Insurance money babe doncha love me? :cool:

    Listen to these guys.;)

    Also, if at all possible, try and hang on to the Lincoln. It looks to sweet to let go.
