Money well spent?

So.....since I'm out of work and taking the summer off I had to make yet another trip to the beer store. I ran into a guy who had this old Ford in his back yard forever. Tell you what I'm gonna do says I...I'll give you twenty bucks right now for that Ford. I'll take it he replied! So now I own what's left of this 35-36 Ford 2 door sedan body.I'll try to get my car trailer near it and take it to my buddies junkyard where I store my finds.Twenty bucks well spent? I think so.....

 

It has the watefall trim on the dash, that alone will fetch five times what you spent, maybe more..Happy for you.Great buy.Congrats.

 

Money well spent indeed!

 

Awsome buy

 

Now go buy a lottery ticket!

Thats a homerun buy all day, every day. Good to see it go to a HAMBer, it gives hope to the rest of us.

 

cool.

 

how come **** like this never happens to me?

 

did you hoist the skull an cross bones flag above your pick up after that deal whatta pirate lol good score

 

Keewwll

what are the plans???. a new frame and a good flathead motor/5 spd ****** = fun driver

Later

 

Good score indeed!...what are your plans?

 

Don't hate me but I'm going to find the guy that will pay me more than twenty bucks for it. That is how I finance my hot rod addiction....

 

It's a 36. Having that potters trunk lid is a very good thing. You got a deal on it.

 

Reminds me of a great song-

"B double-E double-R-U-N, beer run,
B double-E double-R-U-N, beer run,
All we need is a ten and fiver,
A fake ID and sober driver,
B double-E double-R-U-N, beer run."


... except that you need an extra 20

 

$20 bucks? how cool is that?

 

No hate coming from me. Maybe scrounge up a used up frame, clean the **** out of it, make it a roller and make a couple thousand. Nothing wrong with that and you saved it from completely rotting away.

The rancher that owns this "fence post" told me five years ago that he'd come up with a price when he's not so busy farming - I heard that it was bailed with the old harrows, grain bins, etc and went to the s****per.

 

Similar to the one we drug out of the woods in Ohio a few years back.
Good score.

 

Sounds like a great deal to me. I'm sure you'd get many more times that if you parted it or sold it outright. Cool!

 

Why don't I ever find cars for $20

 

I WISH I found something like that around here for that kind of money!

 

Only thing that ever got that cheap has been Volkswagens!And i'm not talking about Oval Windows either!

 

Nice find Mike, would make a neat straight axle car. I would buy her off of ya but I'm a little to far away.

 

Ya know, I don't know if it was worth it. I mean, it is going to need everything!. But, don't worry, I can take it off your hands at a profit. 25 bucks sound good?

-nice find. Sounds like he was happy to get rid of it at that price too.

 

I have been bugging the guy for years about it. Catching him going into the beer store was a stroke of excellent luck! There must be a frame under it as the front bumper is on it.Likely rotted to **** though. The pics are from when I was there in the fall.

 

would ba awsome if you cut it down and turned it into a coupe. damm man, its kinda hard to find deals like that in Toronto though. nice find.

 

Since I had a heart attack I haven't gone back to drag the car out. Not like it's going anywhere soon.....

 

Just comes to show...Theres no such thing as a bad beer run ! Congrats !!!

 

Ok , I need to make alot more runs to the Beer store !!!!! LOL Tom (Tired Old Man) BTW I have been telling my wife that for years !!!!!

 

You cheap ****!! $25 bucks?? Man I will pay a good $26!!

Doc.

 

$40

 

Thats awesome! Sounds like one of those old stories way back when a twenty seemed like so much more. In todays time that is so cool! Good for you!
