My Father and I went on a bit of a snowy adventure yesterday into the wilds of Vancouver Island to pu this 34 phaeton project. After some last minute negotiations I was the proud owner of this pile. It is rough but very repairable, has a nice gennie frame, great dash, nice cowl, good fuel tank, ford 8in rear and I also got an extra set of bobbed 34 rails, centre X mem and front and rear X mems, Also picked up the rear 3/4 of the A frame that came with the roadster in the background. We also brought home a complete running 239? Y block and AT from a friend of my fathers, its slated to replace the sbc in a friend of my Fathers A bone. I am now calling it quits as far as dragging this shit home, the rafters and attic are full and it's time to get one on the road... The phaeton is for sale if anyone is looking for a project? Will put it in the classifieds once I dry it out and clean it up...

The overgrown road into the treasure. Dude lives in a cabin in the woods with no phone, power, water etc (really).

Nice score, never seen anything like it, is it a real phaeton? Always thought they had 4 doors and roadster-like winshield stanchions?

The roadster is already stored up in the attic. It was the first one I picked out of there, rough but repairable just like everything in the yard. The phaeton was a tudor but apparently sat upside down for many years so the top was twisted up and rusty.
I'm lookin for a 33/34 dash if you got an extra

Jason, Way cool! I thought for sure you had dug up a very rare Phaeton. Still a nice looking car.
