    I found this little coupe in a barn last weekend. It has had the same owner since 1952! the liscense plates on the car were from 1968.
    There is no rust in this baby!
    I am working hard and planning on DRIVING it to Back to the 50"s in 3 weeks.
    Wish me luck

  5. You must have some pretty clean barns in Minn. Most of our barn finds in Mo. You have to clear every thing off & around them to find out what it is! Welcome from Susan & Larry in the Mo. Ozarks Great find!

    My ... my ... you scored big time with that baby. Looks as if you could throw a battery in it and drive it away.

    Congrats. Now for chris sake leave the flathead in it. It's a ford and it needs to be left that way. It doesn't need a SBC, Nailhead, SBF, Hemi or any other ******** in it. Hot rod the flathead and have some fun. Dare to be different than every other clone you'll see at BTT50's. JMHO -Mike
