Man you gotta like FREE stuff!

I got a standard 4" Merc Flathead crank and a set of complete Guide 682C's from a guy who was gonna throw it all away. I damn near drove the tires off my pickup getting the stuff home and into my garage. Probably won't get lucky like that again.

 

Oh man........ no thanks

 

Good score !
Heck you can take them to the scrap yard and still make out good on that deal ! Way to go !

 

A 1936 Hudson Terraplane 2door sedan less engine and trans, sold it for $350 in 1972. 6 months later found it in the city dump, called the guy, said his wife hated it so he "junked" it. When something goes in the city dump in Mobile, it doesn't leave.

 

I got this last week for free. I'll sell it for a couple hundred and buy something useful with the $$

The owner called me up and asked me if I liked MG's. I didn't want to hurt his feelings so I said Yeah, sure. That's when he said that he had one I could have for free if I come get it.

 

Should we applaud?

 

Is that mag for a Jimmy six?

 

ummmm i wouldnt be so happy about that. LL

got the fake mustache in my avatar for free

1969 Honda 90 with the piston seized and an old Zenith console TV for helping a friend move stuff to storage. Almost on-topic.

 

Thanks for taken one for the team Muttley!

 

1940 Pontiac Coupe along with 2 NOS fenders and all the trim. Was an old drag car at one time. Had a late 50's Olds diff. in it but the 389 Pontiac motor was already gone along with the trans. Sold the rolling body for $350 and the pair of NOS fenders for $450 back in 85.

 

1974 Lincoln Continental Executive Limousine by Moloney Coachbuilders, Inc. Last in service in 1986. It was being stored in a dirt floor building; the guy in charge of it wanted to pour a concrete floor in it, and needed the car out of there. Told me I could have it if I got it out of there. Cleaned it up and sold it for a thousand bucks to a guy in New York State (wish I kept her, though....).

 

Got a second hand freebie through a good friend, even got to use his trailer to haul it off. A guy had a 53 ford two door in his back yard for way too long. His wife wanted it gone now. Hauled it home, tore into it and shoveled out some trash. Had a flattie bellhousing & flywheel in the trunk. sold them at a swap meet for $50 and spotted a women in the neighborhood driving a 54 four door. She jumped at the 53 for $200. All of this came & went in about five days.

 

1. 1933 Chevy rusted hulk of a stock car body
2. Frankland Quickchange rearend and racing hubs
3. Several Safety-Racing magnesium wheels
4. 327 Chevy engine in need of a reground small journal crankshaft
5. Shortened 3 speed manual transmission for a modified stock car
6. Early 50's Chevy pickup axle and hubs
8. Two 1965 Oldsmobile F-85 parts cars
9. Dual axle trailer suitable for a car hauler with addition of a beaver-tail
10. Lots of other "stuff"

 

Got a fair amount of stuff on my '38 Ford pickup free. My brother in law gave me the 307 Chevy engine out of a '68 GMC pickup with only 30,000 miles but truck was rusted to pieces. Front crossmember, '68 Chevelle steering box. '36 Ford bug eye headlight lenses, a set of '36 hubcaps (like them a lot better than the '38 caps), a good set of stereo speakers still in the box. Those are some that come to mind immediately. I'll probably think of more later.

 

I was given a 4-71 blower setup for a chevy a couple of years ago.came with a holley carb,4-71,edelbrock manifold and pulleys.I had the idler and had to buy a belt to make it usable.I ran it on the street for a while,then changed over to a 6-71.

 

vertex mag for ford 300 six

 

<------jealous

 

I got a 350 SBC with 4 bolt mains one time for free ... guy thought it was a 307 so he gave to me ... I rebuilt it and put it in a race car ... free engine + me rebuilding it + me driving it = plenty of back of the pack finishes

 

Got a rear window from an early 60's Chrysler through CL. A quick polish and placed it on a small end table.

Makes for an elegant and dangerous coffee table.

 

that's like a sore dick, ya can't beat it!

 

I've given away LOTS of stuff, but the only thing I ever got for free, was a Briggs and Stratton 2 1/4 H.P. cast iron engine. My cousin took it off his gold mining slush (sp?) box to put on my go-cart; the thing that really started me in this "hobbie" (more like life style). Now, if a thread gets started about all the stuff we've given AWAY that we regreted, I'd be close to the top of the list. Just got a new computer, and I'm about ready to give this keyboard away; the keys are too short, with too little taper. It causes me to make too many mistakes I have to correct. Or, maybe it's just my fat fingers. Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

hey ive got a 300ci ford digger
interested in selling???

 

A friend recently gave me his stock parts off of a 2004 GTO because he was moving. I sold them on Ebay for $400 plus. When our car club went to dinner Saturday night I picked up the entire check, even all the margaritas LOL.

 

I ain't ever got shit free. The closest I ever got was a car lot swapped me a tri-power set up for my '66 GTO for my 4bbl. Oh, my son gave me tickets to the Gator Nationals this year. Does that count?

 

if somebody wants these for free they can have them.dont know what they are for or where i got em but you can have em.you have to pick em up.i live in milwaukee wisconsin
