Gotta apologise, Sled. I talked to her again tonight and she confirmed what you said. She said also that she knew a guy name of Keller who had a collection of about 50 cars in D.F., lived on Las Flores, in Barranca Del Murto, wonder if you know him?? Cool shit, nonetheless. Cosmo
these are for REV 13 and all hearse nuts...last batch of thew La Salle 38/39... gothic rulessssss...this in insane to me.great car. an old man owns it...not for sale now,but who knows in the future....
You are referring to Arturo Keller a longtime and avid collector from Mexico City. Don't know if he is still alive.
cosmo,no worries....feel relaxed.i'm saying what i'm saying cause i know my daily shit.... exported already don't even remember how many cars worldwide... you see,youy talkin about mr. Keller.....hey,i know him about fame... he's one of TOP collectors cars here in mexico....he's the kinda guy that WONS Pebble beach councouse d'elegance contest with his (mostly) European cars....TOP SHIT. never met him personally but have friends wich know him....elite guys anyway.... glad you like what you see...will keep postin....
ok,to say hello to the RAZA some Impalas... 59 and 60 ,cabs and coupes... the restored 60 with 20" wheels has a 348 engine too.... a friend o mine owns all this crap...
another 60 impala taht was abandoned here in town...did not wanna buy it myself...don't know why but it was a good deal for 3 grand.... is gone now...
delivery time ,fellas could have bought this 41 ford long ago but left for some months in the road until a friend bought it.....still here in town...
this 59 impala cab is still sittin in the street where i fist saw it...they are restorin it...at list this is what guys are sayin.... mmm,one of these days will offer some cash for this one..solid car
here a ford tudor sedan...33/34 ...don't really remember...average conds...not mine....did'nt like it much...
I remember in a late 50s issue of Car Speed and Style ,there was a nosed and decked 51 Chevt Coupe from D.F. .The guy wrote in to the readers rides section.The car had a grille that looked like shark teeth but other that and the black walls with moon disks ,it was an oprdinary mild custom of the day.
oomack,if you can show me the article i can tray to find out if the old fellas i know locally still remember the owner of the kustom you 're sayin... can be fun to find out,perhaps is one of the gang i know... glad to help in case
couple of months ago i bought this monster...imperial 57 2D-HT in very solid conds... yeah ,with the 392 HEMI on it.... sold it recently to Finland..too bulky for me
seen couple of 57 and 2 56 around in very good conds.... don't reckon any 55 nomad right now....but can be around and i don't know for sure... mexico city has more than 20 million guys around,can you imagine???
nomad,i'm wrong... 2 miles from here there is one 55 nomad.. a mechanic i know has one,in so/so conds ....he wants to build a street rod out of it with a 454 BB.... have no idae if he plans to sell it as is....can ask,in case
Great pictures and a great read, thanks for sharing. You're doing good work by saving these cars. Interesting to know that Mexico has so many antique American cars still out there to be discovered. I'd love to see more of the musclecar era stuff that you've found.
32 fords???yeah,good stuff....here a pick up in unrestored conds but solid taht i plan to buy SOOOONNN.... is coming oout ,fellas...
here some A stuff...a pick up and an interestin convertible sedan,rare bodystyle indeed old man does not wanna sell it yet...

lowcab and all hambers,WELCOME ...this is just to show you worldwide guys that there is still good old tin... spread the word,fellas... the adrenaline to find is better than any drug to me,of course sharin is makin people smile... so,is worth it to me..... will keep going on my mission ,mexico has lot to offer still.... hasta luego,nos vemos manaña....sled
WOW SLED! I am impressed - I am also wondering how in the world you ended up down in Mexico City? Did you decide to retire there & then start to find all of these old cars? Or, had you been there once before and already knew that is where you wanted to go because of the old cars?
gary,this was a pure coincidence...would never tought about this kinda livin since 2 years ago,really... been travellin a lot ,and still do it... no plans to retire at all,i'm still in my 30's...so,gotta move my ass to get my personal junkyard one day.... not kiddin but life is really strange sometimes....that's the fun of it... and i do not like mexico city too,is just a great compromise that pays back as you see....
definately the LOVE of old tin keeps me here,that's for sure...and is not a bad lifestyle too if you know how to move in a latin world... mexico has lots of great places to discover too...the people is very hospitable too.... so,as said is a good compromise,but i never found a place like this for the old junk...so,will stay here for awhile
Geeze Sled - That's pretty neat that you are only in your 30's and be able to do what you are doing. Thanks again for posting all of the pictures, I really enjoyed looking at them! Have a GREAT weekend!
