HAMB Auction - 1954 chevy 4dr project

[Revhead]

It's about damn time contributed something to this board so here it is.

1954 Chevrolet 4dr Bel-Air Project car.

What it has:
All sheetmetal w/ spare hood, trunk lid and some fenders
decent windshield with some minor seperation at the edges
trunk full of parts, no great parts, but parts nonetheless.
Redone engine compartment.
glass in all 4 doors, some is cracked. back window is perfect.
stainless around windows.
seats, back seat is pretty nice
rebuilt master cyl (manual trans style)
steering box, column and wheel.
and more.

What it doesn't have:
engine, trans or rear end. it has a '53 housing with axles so it will roll, no center section.
no radiator
no hubcaps
no guages at all.
no grille.
no side trim

There's too much to list in either category so just pm me about what is included.

The body is fairly solid. It does have some quarter size rust holes behind the rear wheel openings. Floors are pretty solid. front fenders are near perfect.. maybe a few dings.

Comes complete with authentic bullet-hole(tm) windshield (and the good one inside of course), 4 wheels and 4 tires.

Here's the rules:

Auction starts at $100. Everything over $75 goes to ryan. The $75 will buy me gas to meet the winner since it is out on the family property.

Auction ends 2 weeks from now. 10pm on the 18th of october.

Winner and I will arrange a time to pick it up and so on and so forth. blah blah blah... now for some pictures.

engine comp.

[Revhead]

not sure if dash chrome is still on the car. I might have sold it, but here's the dash. Radio delete plate doesn't go with the car.

[Revhead]

oh yeah It is 30 miles west of Waco texas.

[fatassbuick]

Hell, if nothing else it would be a good car to practice chopping.

[JimC]

[james]

So you'll throw in free delivery to florida? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Revhead]

I'm trying to come up with some kind of help with delivering it part way or something to help out non-texas hambers. Right now the best I could do probably is get it to Dallas. I'm working on it though. Rashy has offered help and suggestions, so maybe we get some sort of hamb relay going for those long distance bidders.

oh just a little more about the car. I bought 3 '54s and built this one out of the best parts. I intended on using this car. So things like the steering column were the best I had. Little or no play in it. Same goes for the rest of the parts on the car.

Other side about a year ago..

If it helps I'll throw in a 235 with a 3 spd if the winner wants it. The engine ran when it was pulled to be replaced by a V-8. It sat in barn for a year or so. I can help get it anywhere on the East Coast or as far as Nashville, TN

[JimC]

$155.00

[drgnwgn289]

If it goes to someone up north, you can use my place as a pit stop on the way, or as meeting point or whatever; i've got plenty of floor and couch space (sometimes I even have beer!). This goes for you george, and/or the buyer.

[Revhead]

Thanks Jake! We'll see what happens and where it going to go to soon.

Thought I might add that the title is iffy. I have a correct title for this car, but it is signed to someone that I can't find. Depending on what you do with it or how strict your DPS is maybe it won't matter.

[Ryan]

Man... you guys are awesome. An entire car??? Amazing.

Thank you so much.

[spudz]

man I'd buy that just for patch panels if it was close to SC. damn

[Flexicoker]

Someone is getting a screaming deal, I hope there are some "snipers" waiting to bid high at the end.

When you win this auction (what is this, number 27???) and come to pick up the car, you can pick up your model too!

[JimC]

You Funny!
You take lessons from Rasshy?
Sounds like a good idea, tho.
You could give me a tour of the Auto Parts Giant Retailer(s) in your part of Tejas! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

We will see how serious other bidders are.

Remember, it benefits this li'l sand box we play in. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Ryan]

Jim's wife is gonna fuckin' kill me man... I'm so dead...

[JimC]

Not to worry, Ryan.
But I have to sleep with my good eye open!!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

This is cheap for a car.

There are a few days left.

By contrast.
I paiod $345.26 for etching primer, catalyst(1 liter each) 3 liter primer surfacer, hardner, and reducer.
I'll sand most of that off.

Every once in a while, life gets a little more surreal.
Is this one of those times?
Raven, go ahead, post your highest bid, so I will know if I can meet it. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">Damn, I already have a 4 door Buick I don't know what I'm gonna do with.

But, this is too cheap to pass on.

(Someone needs to outbid me though cuz I really don't have the money.)

$200. USD </font>

[flt-blk]

But Rashy, you have plenty of space at the Cemetary.

[Johnny Ace]

III...WTF???
You give away my raw material for my dream project?
Now the "BLEED TOUR BUS" will have to wait....think of all the coop stickers that don't have a home now....

[JimC]

$211.50 http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[Revhead]

Johnny, Didn't you get my email? Anyway, I couldn't think of a better use for it than to generate some money for this place that I waste so much time on. Sorry bout the homeless coop stickers. I know how much you would love to proudly display them on such a rockerific primer-mobile.

[Smokin Joe]

Man, I'd jump on this but gas to go get it would cost more than the car...

[CURIOUS RASH]

<font color="green">That is entirely too cheap!

MAMA would kill me if I brought another car home... </font>

[Revhead]

by the way that's 10pm central time tonight. Less than 3 hrs to go guys. This is not a complete junker, it would make a great grocery getter for the wifey so keep on bidding. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

My truck seems to be running decently, so time permitting I might be able to help a little with delivery. I can get it to dallas at least. maybe further... pm me if you got questions

[JimC]

[Revhead]

Well it's a little past 10 by my clock so it looks like JimC is the winner! congrats jim!

[JimC]

Cool! Thanks, Revhead for your generosity.
I know Ryan will appreciate what you have done.
Zman, thanks to you, too!

Ryan, better hide when Judy finds out!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

K&amp;R, looks like I will be somewhere in Texas, in a few days or so.

Tman, got any more of those grills? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[BPD]

Damn it! I had to be out of town for this auction. And I am somewhat local(San Antonio).

[raven]

Man, Sniped at the last.
I had to bid from work and have no access from home.
Congrats, Jim.
Hope to see it driving soon.
Need anything for it, let me know.I might be able to help out.
