Recent finds and buys

Found this in the dumpster this morning.

 

They could possibly be filled. The vin starts with V. Still has the number matching engine, although it is locked up. Some one swapped it to floorshift. The details don't matter too much though, it's rough. Gonna use it with a rotten two door and try to make one decent car. The two door was a factory six cylinder.

 

Mega score!

 

@pigIRON63 - You're a one man crew with these cars. Glad to see you saving them. Yeah, a ''V'' on the I.D. plate tells the story. That blue doesn't look like a stock color, probably a repaint.

 

Couple of Chevy dealer items given to me by a local body man.

 

Lately, I've been picking up individual copies of PHR to fill out my Project X article collection. Well, today at Carlisle I scored a a super coil artifact. It's a PHR license plate with my hero car on it! Blown with the radiused wheelwells like in The Hollywood Knights movie. It was on a vintage tail panel with '39 Pontiac lights. Talked the guy into taking it off and selling it separately. But I would have bought the whole thing if I had to. Why not, the '58 vette dash piece has no use but it came home, too.

 

N.O.S.^^

 

Thats a good find! I'm a proto collector and would have been all over that.

 

This is today’s contribution. A little old for the mid century modern thread, I would guess late 40’s or early 50’s. This radio is made by Firestone, will look great on the shelf, it is mostly wood with some plastic, but not bakelite. AM band only and a clock with an alarm, what else would you need.

Garage sale find in the bottom of a box of stuff

 

Had to have it, believed to be the rod shop truck, out of Columbus Ohio region, needs everything, don’t think I can do it?

 

That is very cool! I would have to have it also! What engine? How bad is the rust underneath?

 

Old propane stove. Works.
Free cause it has a snake in it somewhere

 

I picked this piece of rust at the local dump. It was wadded up in a ball. It took a minute to realize it was a Pepsi sign. It's not much, but I did save it.

 

I don't remember that Pepsi slogan...was it before the Pepsi generation ad campaign?

Short lived Pepsi slogan, 1957-58.

 

Before and after. Not a recent buy, but just redid it.

Just found this thread, will read through it later today, great stuff. Picked up these '36 Ford rear radius rod forgings yesterday. Bob

 

this is awesome! It says hemi on the side. It have a second gen 426 under the hood?

 

That is great.

 

What do you call this type of drill with a tapered square drive? Popular in 1895, hope they are collectable today. Thanks! Bob
