Barn Find 33 left in garage for 30 yrs

My new hero

 

You have renewed my barn peeping fetish....Congrats!!!

 

Very nice!!

 

Wow, ConcreteMan, Wow. THIS is the kind of find a guy usually can only DREAM of! I wish I could time-travel back to the early '70s when I was in school and didn't have 2 nickels to rub together. I was in school and didn't have the dough to grab all the great barn finds I searched out. Just a FEW of "the ones that got away": cherry unrestored '23 Stude "Big Six" touring car with original top and lacquer; unrest. '35 Plymouth 5-W coupe; cherry '56 black & white Ford Crown Vic w. smooth-running 312 T-Bird; unrest. cherry '55 Dodge w. sweet-running 270 Red Ram Hemi; '64 Stude Hawk GT w. R-3 package . . . I have to stop there, or I'll cry! Most of these cars could have been had between $500 and a grand, too. But, I guess the best true barn find, for me, was the '55 DeSoto Fireflite w. 291 low-deck Hemi, which my wife and I still have. In March 1970, my dad & mom bought it for me in school from two old bachelor farmers for $100. Anyway, CONGRATS ConcreteMan on the most fabulous garage or barn find I've seen in decades!!! You rock, dude. -- Jimi'sHemi291

 

Man ... what a find! That one is beautiful just like it is. It seems like there have been some good things found in barns lately. I need to get out more often.

 

Welcome to the club!
Great Find!!!!

You are gonna love that car!!!

I've had many cars over the years... and my 33 Chevy is my favorite!

People gather around these '33's like there is no tomorrow... its funny!
and you are usually the only '33 Chevy there, maybe a sedan now and then, but never coupes.... there are a lot of '34 & '35 Chevy's but '33's are RARE!

these cars are great, there comfortable, lots of room for a 30's coupe.
I also have a 34 Ford fordor, and my Chevy coupe has way more room in it than the Ford and is more comfortable to sit in.

get ready though... Parts!
aaarrggghhhh, are HARD to find!!
I&I has some things for them but not much.
I pretty much buy anything I can, when I see a 33 part I buy it, if I need it or not!
stock Tail lights are GOLD! body parts are really hard because they are pretty much a one year only car... so be careful with what you have. LOL!

keeping the 6 is cool... and that is just what I would do.
The car look to nice to be turn into a radical Hot Rod... but nice and subtle things like lowering the front, or wheels would be great.

OH! just to let you know.... a BIG BLOCK fits in one like it was made for it,
no firewall mods or anything... LOL! mine has a 454 with a 4-speed and other major modifications. (PM me if you want details)

Good Luck! and WOW what a nice car you are going to love it.

 

dizzamn! beeeeyooootiful!

 

Damn nice car! I did not know they made those plastic overflow bottles in the early sixtys though, thought they came out in the 80's

 

Hey woodbox thanks to you have to change my shorts

 

Lucky *******.......

 

It could be a Master or Eagle; I am told it depends on how the vent windows are designed. There are 2 styles.
