The Stuff You Find in the Woods.

So I was walking through the woods behind my dad's house, and I came across a half dozen 30's and early 40's GM cars. I'm going to take a closer look to see what is salvagable, if anyone is interested in any parts or the cars themselves PM me and I can take more detailed pictures for you.

Here is a link to my album take a look:

uh......dibs on the first one........

 

why doesn't this **** ever happen to me? shooter i'll arm wrestle you for the 32 5 window!

 

ok, but i ate my wheaties this morning....

 

i'd **** if i stumbled across something like that in the woods. you wouldn't be looking at a picture of it sitting in the trees, i'd be posting pics of that thing sitting in my garage.

 

ok then make it Indian leg wrestling

 

man go get the coupe...... **** will buff out ,,, looks like shes ben sitting awile...

 

I maybe wrong, but I believe the 5 window coupe is a 34 Chevy. Either way it's in decent shape and there are 2 more trashed ones, out there, but the Cowls & Firewalls are good.

 

I think your right on the chevy but still cool...

 

yeah it's a 33-34 chevy for sure,god almost gave me a heart attack! there wasn't as many chevies vs.fords back then lower production,and it looks salvagable...pretty cool,i'd get it!
i think Roger Miret pres of the NYC Rumblers chapter runs an early chevy highboy...pretty cool car!

 

yank that ****er outta there. it's a cool piece.

 

Actually, Chevy led Ford in calender production by 40% in 1933. In 1934, they led by 10%, Chevy's 620,726 units vs. Ford's 563,921.

Cool find!

 

Nice find!
I'd be all over the '41? Oldsmobile fastback.
Does your Dad own "The Woods" behind his house?
You know, the woods owner owns the cars too, barring any other "storage agreement" claim...
You'd best get a bill of sale from the property owner, even if it's "Dad"!

 

My dad owns most of the woods, but I'll make sure to check where his property line ends.

 

ill take the grill, dash, and trim off that 40 chevy

 

all i ever find is poison ivy and deer poop. nice find. better make sure he owns that land, then save those cars.

 

hey leave those cars right where they are. I'm going to fix them up some day.

and get out of my woods!

 

the first one is 34-35 chev as they have a longer cowl than the 33 any dashes windshield trim and window garnish moldings for the 34s.

 

It's the old man in the woods run!!

 

ok I'm planning on going back next Wednesday, so If there is any more interest let me know and I'll take more pictures for you guys.

 

How long has he lived there?
How big is the woods?
I'm just wondering why it took so long to find this stuff?

 

He's lived there almost 6 years but we never explored to woods until this spring because there was a lot of under growth we had to clear, it's only about 4 1/2 acres

 

I would keep a few of them if I were you. Theres 20 years of builds there, youre set. sell a few and buy a welder and tools.

 

I have a ***le for that coupe! Damn I wish I lived closer and you were my best friend. Anyhow, get them outa there before some Hambster tracks your location on satelite and does a midnight auto part run!!! Best regards.

 

I love the Olds fastback. But other than some pieces, I'm not sure what's salvageable. We're talking northern US cars. Ontario Canada or Quebec are not far behind in terms of weather. There are a couple of yards near me that if I sent you some pictures, you'd look at the cars and say "save them".

But on most of them, you can remove the side trim without worrying about the clips because the clips will come right through the fender or door skin because the metal is so badly rotted. The doors are hanging on that Olds for a reason. What a shame.

Cool find though. Have fun.

 

Eh, they might be more buildable than you think, usually trim comes off because the clips rot, not the tin. As usual everyone's opinion will differ, it's a matter of if you have the skills and desire to build one, not if it can be done or not, pretty much anything can be built if you want it bad enough.

 

still serious about the 34 parts I have a 34 5 window coupe needing garnish moldings any or all wood and maybe the 1/4s if you are cutting them up.

 

I'm going out thee a a couple of days time and I can take a look at them.

 

The 41 Olds fastback is a "Dynamic Cruiser Club Sedan" series 76 if it had the six and series 78 if it had the eight. The one behind it is a 39 Olds. And the Chevy sedan is a 41.
