Projects An old 36 Ford coupe followed me home over the weekend

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Chris, Mar 31, 2014.

  1. Found just north of town, this old original 36 Ford coupe. This car came out of Montana, where it had sat in a barn a since 1958. The guy I got it from bought it about 10 years ago. He decided he'll never do anything with it so put it up for sale. I was the sucker that came along...
    It's a standard model. Someone was proud of the ol car though, it has sealed beam lights, 1932 Buick fender lights mounted on the fender, Motorola radio and a grill gaurd. It's a pretty clean old car, has some typical rot but with the exception of the trunk handle and hood ornament, it is complete. The engine turns over, we will see if it will run! As you guys know, finding a car like this untouched is getting scarce. I imagine this is what the cars looked like in the 60's-70's guys were buying for 25.00-50.00.

    I've been cleaning on it all weekend. I sure enjoy bringing an old car back to life!

    This is where it sat for the last year. Under a tarp on the back of a rollback. Better then down in the mud I guess
