Won at the auction tonight! (now what???)

Stopped at the local auction house on the way to work tonight. Saw this pile of tin was up for auction tonight. So I put a shit bid on it. They just called, I won! Looking at these pictures I'm not sure If I really won. Oh well, got my project for next winter.

Until then, it's yard art! I don't even know what it is. My best guess is a 30 or 31 Chrysler that somebody tried to make a truck out of?

 

Severely mistreated Model A???

 

funny a friend of mine sent me pictures of this truck yesterday... he was going to bid on it ...I thought it was a lot of work for him....

you actually know him ... he used to be your neighbor in Sardis....

Roy ...

good luck on the build.. what ever you do ....I am sure it will look great....

 

get a Bill of Sale or something to help when you try to register it? has a lot of potential, or just flip it. Ford rearend looks good.

 

Could be as early as '28-'29 and may also be Dodge, plymouth or De Soto , I want to say that with the narrow profile on the grill it is most likely plymouth or De Soto ....

edit: Also I think Chrysler and Dodge both had the same type swage as top of cowl in the front fenders .

You now own a 1930 Chrysler Series Six also known as the CJ6. It was not a truck in the beginning. It was a four door sedan. Makes for a very cool truck, though.

 

Pretty damn sweet

 

which v6 engine?.... gmc maybe?

 

Gotta be careful at those auctions. That's how I ended up with a '62 Triumph TR-4 that was held together with zip ties! When I got my invoice from the auction company it itemized the Triumph, and in parenthesis was "SAR". Took me a week before I figured out it meant "some assembly required"!

 

Close. But no cigar. Never lived anywhere near Sardis. Don't know anybody named Roy.
31Dodger, thanks for the info. Pretty much what I was thinking.

 

well your car used too... I guess the guy who built it did !!!...... and my name is Roy... not my friend's.....

 

Not bad, it it looks like it has a 9" with a nodular center section, might be worth more than the car!

 

Small word! lol

 

Ya, not sure what's up with that. I've only looked at it in the pictures to. Wierd thing is it's got a 4 stud axle ..........

And yes, it looks like a GM 4.3 (puke)

 

Ford 8 inch rear.
Nice start for a project.

 

Clampett mobile! You can drive it down to Kaliforny and be the envy of all them hippies!

 

Ford Mavericks came with 8" rear ends with 4 lug axles the first couple years. I'd say that's what the rear end is...

 

Thanks. I'll take a better look at it and take invetory after I drag it home tomorrow. But I think your right about the rear end.

 

Straight to Craigslist. "rat rod project, all hard work is done!!! $4500-serious buyers only!"

 

Atleast it didnt get junked.

 

Looks like a old carb'd 2.8 GM

 

Wow, that cab reminds me of a plymouth cab a neighbor had

 

I'd guess GM 2.8 also. I put over 200,000 on one, no complaints.

 

I got pictures of one just like this at a car show last year.. it was awesome looking. Had a big old Hemi hanging out

 

I would keep the cab,fenders,hood,and sell the rest. Could make a great shop truck.

 

aint nothing a little work cant cure. well maybe alot of work.but ive started with ALOT worse. id like to have it here myself.

 

If you get this one together, you will have the only one there. Some really nice lines on that body. Good luck bro! ~sololobo~

 

Heres a pic of mine. They only made this model for a short period, making that hood and grill damn near impossible to find.


Looks like a good project to me, once you chuck that drivetrain ofcourse

 

I would build a truck out of it and rock it out. Nice buy.

MrC.

 

For a shit bid, I think you did real good.
Now enjoy, or flip it!!
Cheers....
