Hot Rods Different kind of find! Basement boxes

Just got home from one of my wife's friends mother's house (hard to say!) She called because she has sold the house. Her dad died and her Mom went to a home and she is cleaning out the house because it is sold. She found boxes of old hot rod magazines in the basement and wanted to know if I wanted them. There are tons of them and many I have never heard of. The newest are in the 60s and the oldest are in the 40s. Looks like I have lots of reading material for the next few winters!!

 

Oh man that's cool!!

Damn, I wonder if that is going to happen to my stuff when I kick off? I know for sure that I have WAAAAAAAAY too much and that my wife and daughter are going to be pissed that I didn't do something to clear this crap out.

That said, nice find!!!

 

NICE FIND!!!!!!! The Speed Age magazines should have some early Hot Rod features along with great racing features.

 

awesome ! p.s. thanks for the 32 insert piece , got it straigtened up , sandblasted , and painted ! worked out great , was starting to think i'd never find one !

 

You found some great reading,,,HRP

 

WOW! Jackpot!

 

WOW, you're gonna be busy for a while.

That'll pay for some car parts!

 

Any of those for sale?

 

That's a gold mine you're sitting on. Either for reading or as patrick66 said those would buy a lot of parts.

 

Score and a Half !

If you end up selling them read them first. Can you say, WIN/WIN

I had a pretty sweet basement find once. Kids dad went to prison and he had collected early olds speed parts for a long long time, also alot of NOS mostly for 49-51 or2 88s and early 442 stuff. Anyways, got 2 truckbeds of shit out of there, or i guess i should say gold. I had a triple deuce intake for a 303 family that looked like it was never installed. I got it for 100 bucks and the kids mom said "thank you so much for cleaning out the basement!!" I had to chuckle and laugh a bit and told her "anytime" Got a bunch of vintage mags i traded for a 37? GMC tho. Kicker was that she had a lot of cars, probably 50 or so in the back and there were a few hemis and rockets she thought everyone was trying to screw her when she got offered money for em so she ended up calling the crusher and made like a total of 3k. And there was alllllloooooot of stuff. Ok im done.

 

That is way too cool! Right on, and enjoy the reading material. Damn, I never have that kind of luck!! BUT, I will keep trying damnit!!

 

Some great history there. What a score.
