Hot Rods My pretty cool auction score!

A local fella was auctioning off his 40 year collection of model T's and A's over the weekend and I scored this cool little T roadster super cheap. I guess about 10 years ago he bought the T sight unseen and the seller misrepresented the condition. He decided to do a restoration and removed the engine and ******....which he left outside his shop and a few days later someone stole them. He was so disgusted he had a pal hoist the roadster onto the roof and it's been there ever since. Everything's there except the said parts.

Pete-

 

Thats way cool. where was it in Boston?

 

sweet score ..

 

Cool, but how ya gonna get her down? Haha. Looks like, what, a '23 or so?

 

Very cool!

 

It's actually in Needham M***.

A lot of stuff went CHEAP! I think it was due to the super ****py weather....pouring all day.


A really nice original driver 27 tudor sedan went for 3K along with a 23 T touring.

Folks were after gas pumps and signs.


Pete-

 

Pope,

I was hoping you could come and help...ill p*** it down piece by piece and you could re-***emble it on the ground.....lol

 

Hopefully this week we'll have it down on the ground and Ill take a few more photo's of it.


Pete-

 

cool deal theres still some good stuff hidden by the yankee hoarders in this state lol

 

Nice score Pete!

What's the plan for it?

 

Damn, that would have been cool to go to. Wish I knew.

 

That's a pretty nice view of the coupe....

 

Man I would hang that thing in the garage as is!!!

 

Kool score Pete.

 

Yea, there's still a **** load of stuff hidden in garages.

think im going to put a model A front and rear under it and do some type of 4 banger, remove the top windshield and chop the top.....maybe Z the frame a tad.


Pete-

 

Nice score lets see it come down!

 

Nice score. Keep us informed on what your plans are.

 

Way to go. Looking forward to pics when you get it home.

 

Weird.
I rode by that not too long ago & thought, "Someone should take that down and..."

Congrats Pete!
I can't wait to see what you do with it!

 

I guess putting it up there will keep people from stealing the rest of the parts off it. Nice score.

 

Isky style!

 

Damn! Wish I had known about it too. That's awesome.

 

Isky all the way! I love that car.

Pete-

 

let gravity help get it down ... save your back ..
A LITTLE FLUBBER FROM THAT NUTTY PROFFESSER WILL HELP

picture the 3 stooges with a blanket trying to catch it fire man style .. yelling "jump" then laying blanket on the ground..and taking giant backward steps away


any type of semi type tow truck should be able to boom it down ez .. and it will be AAA appproved!

 

It would make a great photo shoot for a crane company. "We do all kinds of crane work"
The company putting on the auction should have called a crane company and then the newspaper and had them cover taking it off the roof, and it would have made the local papers and then had more traffic for the auction.
Hindsight is 20/20

 

cool score...

 

Your goal is to be this f'in cool!

 

Well she came....down that is. I got some pretty cool pics and ill post them tonight.


Pete-

 

Early this morning I got the call that T was coming down,,,,so I hurried on down.

Pete-

 

Sweeeeeet
