Whereabouts of a Green 35 Ford Slantback

Amazing how cars can disappear like this one, I figure it must be stored in some ones garage and forgotten....

 

Thanks for posting this. I used to drive to North OKC from Norman for work about 25 to 30 years ago. Remember seeing that chopped sedan every day sitting outside an old brick shop building (which was pretty cool as well).

I hope you find the whereabouts. Certainly was a unique build for a 35 sedan. That car and a few others always brightened my morning commute.

 

The power of the HAMB will prevail

 

I remember the first time I met Todd and got to see this 35. It was definitely cool and I appreciate it even more now. I believe you took me out to Todd's house Tim.

 

Neat car. One of the few post 34 Hiboy builds that "worked".

Sometimes cars get salted away or back burnered due to other life interests and commitments. Maybe owned by someone that loves it, but only takes it out once in awhile (and not to Rod Runs or shows where one of "us" would have seen/recognized it).

After 20+ years, chances are that the car is in a garage, not running and at least partially torn down for a repair or rebuild. Typically something like engine trouble or a fender bender instigates a partial tear down. Next thing you know, the engine is out and the body is off the frame and it sits blown apart for a decade.

Hopefully, the car exists as is and didn't get Street Rodded; fenders added, 350/350 swap, repainted. We'd never recognize it!

 

I like it cool car hope it surfaces

 

I brought the earlier info that okiedokie provided to the screen for inspiration, thanks again for the copy, anyone know what magazine this was in? Or info on he writer?

 

I remember the days of fall at Todd's shop and the parties, this pic of the car reminds me of those simpler times of yesterday.....I long for those.....

 

If anyone is looking to recreate something like this car, there is a real clean 35 slantback here in Prescott, AZ. Search Prescott, AZ craigslist under 35 Slantback. The owner has health issues and might be willing to deal.

 

Very interesting story and a very cool car. Hopefully is is stashed away somewhere and is found.

 

This car was a big influence in my life regarding style of cars, I just hope it is tucked away somewhere......

 

It's been awhile since I had looked for this car, so here goes, any one?

 

Thanks for bringing it back up.

 

Another bump hoping this car is still around somewhere.

 

Let's keep this going. Someone knows. I am pretty sure that
I got the letter from Stan Darger out of Hot Rod Mechanix magazine. Love to know the rest of this story.

 

This appears to be Stan:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/standarger
Says he has a classic car company.

 

Some day it will surface....

 

I found an email for the Stan Darger in Dallas and send him an email. We will see if he is the same guy.

 

No reply yet.

 

I have not recd a response to my email, although I did not receive an undelivered notice, so maybe a chance yet.

 

I would really like to build a car inspired by this one someday, but a roadster is in my heart first...

 

It will surface someday I hope

 

Let's hope so.

 

Sure wish someone had some info.

 

The Yellow Bullet form just started a nostalgia hot rod page and I have put it on there as well but no response yet....

 

So four years and still no answer. Bumping back just in case someone new has info.

 

Wow...I had forgot about this thread. Can’t believe we haven’t found this car yet.

 

It was an all around nice package. I hope it has survived in a close condition to what it was.

 

What are the chances its this guy?
