Some iron I found the weekend!!

Went out for one of our runs where we hunt for cars around the island. We left at 9 in the morning and drove all day only stopped to look at all the stuff..never got home till around 9 that night!! Covered alot of ground and found alot of stuff but came across alot of 70s stuff so I wont talk about that here!! lol. Found the remain of a a few early 50s f100.the motor and frame was a cool find the cabs were very ruff and not much to save.. Found a 58 Caddy that was just pulled out of a shed and was a good project car..working on finding out what the deal is with it..is it for sale and how much.Looked at a this 52 Ford agian..been watching this for years and can never get it .guy keep giving us the run around on it..dont think he want to sell it but love to talk about it.. The car is complete but the body is ruff..roof is rusted real bad.. But it runs like a top! found a couple of early 60s merc. guy want these gone but Not my kind of car.. the T bird they had in the garage was both a work bench and a shelf!! sad..

 

There's a guy about 5 miles from me using a '62 T-Bird in the same way. A real head scratcher.

 

Get that Caddy Tony! I can't wait for the shop night chop!

 

Well I been saying I was not going to buy anymore projects after I got rid of most of mine but I have a soft spot for a shop truck project!!and heard about a 53 GMC that was cheep.. well the truck is so call complete.meaning all the sheet metal parts are there!! it needed work but what made me walk away from it was the front clip..it was a front for a big truck! Not what Im after..so I was a good boy and never dragged home another peice of junk!! looked at this Pontiac finally after knowing it was there for over 20 years! agian ruff but good parts car..

 

Now for the coolest find of the day!! the boys new of a 60 chevy that was by a old house.they were their before and new I like to see it so we stopped in.. I loved it..a old house with a old car in the driveway..looks like no one lived there for years.. well want to take some shots of it cause it just looked too cool..and me being a lover of anything old I had to peak inside to see what old stuff might be in the house..well!! was I in for a eye opener!! and yes that is in the old house!! lol

 

They left the wrong car sitting outside.

 

now that's cool, a trans am in the living room! they even have satelite tv ,but how the hell are they getting it out after the paint it ,must watch to much man cave !!

 

thought I seen it all until now, a trans am in the living room....classic!

 

I'm still scratching my head.........

 

Leave it to the newfies......

 

I was thinking the same thing. Lard tundering Jaysus, now we don't need a new block heater cord!!!

 

I'm thinking the Mercury in photo 8 is the coolest in my book.

 

Wow, that is a shocker! What a Canadian will do, to have a weatherproof shop.

 

I'm thinking its an abandoned house on the property so they hid the TA inside to preserve it.
Why, I'm not sure!!!! LoL

 

Now that tops my list for strange car related stuff! Kinda reinforces all those "newfee" joke i heard when i worked up north: "How does a newfee girl turn the light on in the morning"? "opens the car door"! someone was drinking some high octane shit when the parked that TA!

 

Great cars/pics man, but that "t/a in the casa" is a great story. Wonder if it was assembled in there or what?!!!??!! Nice stuff!!

 

Who needs a waterbed when you have a Trans Am, cuz "Chicks dig Trans Ams"!

 

good looking iron in that place!

 

Now thats low!! lol.. My wife sees this your dead!! Ever mess with a newfoundland woman?lol..

 

and in the kitchen!! lol

 

If i'm not mistook that f-1 chassis has a car style topload 3spd behind it, pretty much the same as a '39 car box but with a open drive and a different gear split, check to see if it is, they are pretty desireable

 

That Caddy is SWEET!! I can't imagine
there were too many of those sold new
on 'the Rock' back in '58, so the car
probably had some prestigious owner
and there's likely some history behind
it.

I see you were in Spanaird's Bay, did he tell you what is behind the door under the deck?.

 

It was a U.S. car originally.

 

Hmmm, seems I heard that joke before, but it was a flatlander girl.

 

He never say anything to us about any other car..cant remember seeing any deck!! lol what is in there?

 

Lol that's what I was thinking

 

I said the same thing!!!

 

How the hell??

 

lol.. they removed a wall and put it back up.you can see it to the right on the back of the house.
