gotta super nice 25 T coupe body trying to figurer out how I wanna build it can't find many pics to check out, anybody have pics
There's some really nice color photos of this one elsewhere on this site.... Need to do a search... I wish I knew which thread is was under.. Sorry.
I have searched the internet for a year or two and have only found one other 24/25 T cpe other than a completely stock antique vehicle. Lots of 23 and below and 26 and above. It is****led as a '24 but the experts have told me it is a late '24 early 25 due to some body trim differences. This is mine that will be full fender, unchopped body, hoodless, flatty powered. Some more pics at my webshots. Fourdy
Most all of the coupe photos are 26-27. Foudy's is an earlier one, notice the squarer trunk for one thing!
I don't think I have ever seen one with the squared trunk in person? Very cool though. By the time 26 rolled around, the design really gave a sneak peek to the A coupes. If I remember right, the 26/27 T used the same trunk lid and doors as the later A coupes???
alwayzarat - - Yes, I think it is cool also. I was going to build it and sell but my wife said it was too cute to sell so I may get that extra garage still. lol Myrtle Beach - I was stationed there in the Air Force in '64. I drove from Seattle to SC with my young family and arrived in Myrtle Beach during the tourist season to find that rent at most places was 600 month. I was making 124 so it looked real scary for a while until I drove around long enough to find a small apartment on the side of some ones house for $50. Whew! Sure wish I had bought a lot more of stuff from all the junk yards I visited back there. Fourdy
Im gonna try and get someone to show me how to post pics of mine it doesnt have a rust hole or a dent anywhere it was found in an old semi trailer in Kentucky the old dude said it had been there for around 40 years
You guys are going to make it hard on me. I've been toting with the idea of selling 32 coupe for a NICE T coupe lately. I love 'em. The almost always have to be a drag coupe....almost.
Wow, that's pretty cool. The air force base here is closed now. It closed several years ago, but they just had a ceremony "officially" marking the end of all "operations" just a few weeks ago. I guess maybe they still had a building or 2 somewhere down there. We like it here real well. Been here about 7 years via WV. I'll tell you a cool story though that you'll probably get a kick out of: When we moved here in 04' there was an area just across the waterway outside Myrtle Beach that was "booming" with construction. It's called Carolina Forest and that is the part of "Myrtle Beach" we live in. Anyways, evidently back in the day, this was the bombing range for the old Air Force base. I guess you guys use to do all your practice runs over this large uninhabited section of woods. Anyways, by the time we built our house the fact had come to light that there were lots of unexploded munitions all through this area. So the builder had to survey the land so deep and remove a lot of these old practice bombs. They found stuff often, you would see the bomb squad trucks, and pictures would be in the paper of the unexploded munitions. Just a few weeks ago, there was preliminary work starting on another new development and you could see all the guys out there with their metal detectors looking for bombs. One of the first developments they built out here didn't do that process and there have been tons of problems with home owners finding munitions and bits of exploded bombs. Anyways, I just thought that might interest you. I think for the most part, these were just little "hand grenade" sized practice bombs about equivalent to a shotgun shell, but still after all these years a lot of the ones they found were live!!! Unfortunately, there have been several bodies found in this area too. I think about 6 or so over the last several years. Pretty crazy!!! It was just such a vast wooded area, but the terrain is flat and its not real heavily overgrown, so I guess it is where some scary people dumped these bodys. Crazy!!!
You don't see a lot of '25 T coupe hot rods but there was a cool dark green one at the Hunnert Car Pileup 2 or 3 years ago, and it had just the right look. Sorry I don't have a pic.
thanks Roupe I looked up the pile up and found a pic of that car at the 2008 show that is the best looking one I have seen
WOW I am pumped now thats a cool**** ride ready to get busy now and I scored a 62 buick today , running driving with a 401 nailhead for $500 alumium drums and all......
That is by far the coolest street coupe I've ever seen in those years. Wow! lottsa money into that*****er too by the looks of it.
No the trunk lid is T only. notice on 26-27 it has a double curve from the top down. But the 26-27 coupe doors will fit 28-29 A closed cab truck. A don't think the is any change from 23-25.
That's the one I was thinking of. It looks cool and the neet thing is you don't see that year coupe hot rodded very often like the '26-'27 coupe.
