Hot Rods Todays Craigslist SCORE!!!

Here are a few pics of my latest CL score. Price, FREE. I plan to go back in the am, I plan to just get the cab and front sheetmetal, and some misc parts, then the land owner is going to s**** the rest. It is a 1940 Ford COE box truck. The box is also loaded with parts from??? Going to dig through it all tomorrow, and try and get the parts I want loaded. Not sure what I'm going to do with it, sell trade, part out or build, but if nothing else it will make good yard art. This will look cool next to the 46 Ford super Deluce club coupe I got off CL last week for $250, and it's a solid buildable car as well. Not the best finds ever, but cool to find anyway.

 

damn some people have all the luck congrats!

 

Cool deal.

 

Cool score Rusty!

Max

 

only thing i ever find on cl is broken exercise bikes and serial killers.....

 

At least it's not a murderer!

 

I'm going to start calling you Mr.Hanney from Green Acres.

 

the price is right! nice score man..

 

A little help for the minds eye...

 

Build a ramp rod!

 

I love free...but, I usually find all the junk. That could be cool.......

 

Way to go Rusty! I'll have to stop by and check it out.

 

Really some neat old trucks there and some great finds. Thanks for posting.

 

Congrats! That thing rocks!

 

Wow. The only thing I get on CL is some ***hole from Oswego sending emails or even posting ads saying I should s**** my stuff.


Oh yeah, and all the scammers from overseas who want to send me a cashier's check for $25,000 for my $2500 car.

 

But it it a is a "killer" deal!! Sorry I had to do it.

 

love the old COEs
great score

 

Hopefully you won't have to trailer it home, that would ****.

 

You paid way to much for that thing...

 

cool truck. It would make a cool hauler

 

If you want to flip it I know a guy with another one that would want it, and he's in Mo also.

 

Nice find. I think all the old tin in Missouri is ending up in JC.

 

You might show him this post as I probably will end up selling or trading it. I already have WAY too many projects. I plan to just cut the cab loose from the frame and just roll it over onto a small flatbed trail, while trying not to damage it too bad. This thing is sunk in the ground up and past the axles. Cab is pretty fair, some lower rust, and missing some floor panels and grill bars, but great for a hauler project. No engine or trans, the whole time on the way there I was hoping for an Ardun, or a scott, but not quite that lucky, that stuff is probably in the dump on the other end of the farm. It's going to be a project to say the least getting it, but it should be fun, barring snakes and rodents. also getting an early 20's buick touring, and a 33 chev sedan remains as well as time allows. All 15 miles from my house and 3 miles from my parents.

 

if he is going to s**** it I would cut the frame from behind the cab and bring home the front section. That way there would be a lot less chance of causing any further damage to the body

 

I have been looking for months for just a left door to fit my 1942, geez.

 

Nice find.... guess I should watch the cl a little closer.

 

I'll pay you double what you paid for it.

 

damn good score there Rusty. Now tell me more about the deluxe club coupe.

 

No fair, you find all the cool free stuff.

 

Thats a good deal for you. I had to drive about 4 hours to get mine and then I had to give the owner cash too. lol
