Hot Rods Did I just buy a 1927 Bently? *identified update*

Wow! "Some assembly required", huh? I have no idea what it is, but good luck with it .

Should be easy to title.

 

That would make a cool looking speedster!

 

Could be chitty chitty bang bang, just make sure you use a boat for the cab... Sorry, my kids made me watch that movie too many damn times.

no idea! but heres one for comparison

 

that hood looks more like a Franklin

 

looks like a Franklin...any signs of a radiator, or is grill just a grill??

 

You have a Franklin steering there, I think...post better pic of that! Commonly used on race cars, very fast ratio

 

looks like a franklin to me too

 

Shoot, well I got it anyway with a rpu deal, at least it's aluminum...., you know, for scrap

 

Scrap? Hell no!

 

its early franklin , would you want to sell it
please give me a call 516 305 9787 pat

 

Good find! It's a Franklin, did you get the tube front axle and steering box? The front fenders behind it look to be 26-27 model T Ford items.

 

Wicked find!

You'll be the first kid on your block with one of those!

 

I think Franklin as well. That year grill shell inspired a whole roadster/modified in my head. . . Someday I'll build it.

The front axles are big bucks and are way cool.

 

Some more pics

 

scrap my ass- sell that! or if you want to throw it away give it to me!

 

damn man! that's not the way to think about a Franklin...put that shit up for sale before you take it to scr...how can you even THINK about scrap...wow. when was the last time you saw a hot rodded Franklin? dude just put it up for sale. please.

 

Oh you kids, I did 3 years for killing two scrappers.....I still hunt them, kinda unsporting, leaving out some angle iron in an urban area is like havin a salt lick on your back porch...... Hard times bust a chump

 

What's there would be perfect for my boat tail speedster project. What do you need in trade? Or I should say what are you hunting for that I might have?

 

For a second there, I thought you might have found a Henway...

 

Jonathan do we need to get the Franklin?? lol

 

can't believe i am still a Newbie ! haha

 

This is a front quarter window I believe, see if it fits in the top of the cowl section.

 

No scrap! Beaut stuff.

 

Well, it's older than 1929, we have a '29 Franklin carcass here.

 

looks to be around a 1915 from the shape of the grille/hood.

 

I'll lay the pile out today, its only sheetmetal, it has the two cast alum quarter window and a back window roof section that stinks like a sedan, no chassis or engine stuff, only the stuff to build a race car and not feel bad about it...... its a tilt front-end, instant bitchen.
he also had a 77 pinto wagon for you guys that aren't into early Franklins

 

just found pics of a 1923 franko, it was at the LA roadster show last year running for 4500.
