Hot Rods Please dont hate me!

And the plot thickens

 

Bruce, I can't help it, I've got to throw in my 2 cents worth. This one is about 700 miles from you, 50 miles from me...

I have two wagons. both are 55 two doors. One Chevy and one Ford. I want to keep the chevy and sell the ford. The ford is complete with a good title. it has no filler. but the floor pans are rusty and has the typical bottom of front fender and rocker rust. likely too much project for you $2500. It was turquoise and years ago someone painted it olive drab with a brush. never sanded it and that olive paint is coming off. the drivers door is a 56 and is in bad shape (rusty at bottom)

 

Holy crap, they should build cars out of upholstery

 

This would be a great "caption" picture!

"That'll buff right out!"

"Gonna build me a rat rod, just gotta cover them seats wif mexican blankets!"

 

This one is in the classifieds: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/ford-country-sedan-wagon.1098175/

 

Not no more.

 

When someone comes on here and asks a question which may have been answered 7 years previously, 50 people will immediately berate that person for not doing a search. On an almost weekly basis I go into cars for sale sub headed Station Wagons. In the first 60 ads, Bruce, you have posted 13 ads which will be there until eternity. I hope you mark every one sold unlike many many ads where the car is no longer available and all you do is waste your time trying to contact the seller. One ad occasionally bumped would have done the job.
That aside, I hope you find THE wagon because I relate to your passion. That 64 Buick Special doesn't look bad for the price.

What happened to the 64 Buick? The ad seems to have disappeared. I didn't think that could happen.
Maybe it could happen to some of the other ads that are no longer relevant.

I've seen this car up close in Columbus,worth the money

Ahhhh Moriarity.I deleted the picture.Bruce.

 

My new Buick Station wagon project Will be delivered Sat.Bruce.

 

Well done, let us know.

 

Post some pics when you get it. Glad you found something!

 

Glad you found one, sounds like you really deserve a break! Good luck, I know what it's like to have pain and still want to work on old cars. More frustration with ourselves than the cars.

 

Here's a wagon under $1000...

...if you needed another project...

I got the same disease... the closer I get to having a driveable car, the less I want it anymore...... WTF is that all about

 

It's more about the building than the driving for some.
