Hot Rods How About A HAMB Barn Find Thread

Don't know if we already have one, I searched but could not find one. So here is a start.

I was visiting a friend checking on his progress of a 32 Ford 5-W build. When he takes me into another side garage , he had just picked this up locally through information from a friend of a friend. The car was in an old garage for over 45 years. He does not know what he will do with it but just had to have it.

1932 Ford 5-W Coupe,

 

Lucky dog.

 

...I was lucky enuf to snag a 38 chevy & a 37 Chevy coupes that each had been sitting in different pole barns for 30-40 years each,..they are both being rebuilt ,...the red oxide 37 coupe formerly raced at Byron Dragway over 40 years ago.

 

Great find! We should first define "Barn Find". It's been overused as much as "Breaking News" has by the news stations. Photos of the car, as found are a huge plus.

 

I found a ham in a barn once...... It was still on the hoof and not smoked yet.

 

Nice find, and I might add finally gives me inspiration for a front bumper on my heap.

 

And before taking action be sure to check out the How To Correctly Wash a Barn Find thread.

I assumed photos as found was a gimme, I guess I should have been more specific. LOL

 

I've found a number of barns in my day but they're all full of rodents and horse puckys. Never quite caught on to this barn find craze.

 

There are some old ones out there, threads I mean, but I enjoy seeing different stuff anyway. There are a few red X's in these, but worth sifting through.

Posted already in another thread, but here goes. It was even found in an actual barn,

 

I found a 60 impala 2drht in an old car wash , does that count for anything?

 

I've got a 454SS truck in my barn I hope somebody "finds" it in the spring!

 

I did find a 55 nomad in a garage that had a barn style roof, it was next to a 55 belair convertible. Bought em both, years apart tho.

 

I bought a 48 Plymouth business coupe from the HAMB classifieds, it might have been in a barn at one time.

 

This one spent time in a couple of different barns over the years and then the last 17 in this suburban garage. Now it is running again after 52 years in storage...and parked in my barn!

I hope you bought that plane in the back ground. Home made remote control?

 

It iwas a model and not R/C. I did not ask for it, as the Buick takes all of the extra room in the garage.

 

This how mine looked when I got it.

 

I think i posted this a few years ago when i first got the car but what the heck.

 

Barn stored since ,74.
came to my place with 54000 miles on the odo...

 

Parked since 1951.




Where you will find it now. (But parked inside)

 

Pretty complete 39 Buick Coupe
as found in old delapidated Aircraft
Hanger Caledon,Ontario

Sold in late 90's
as found...

It would be a nice candidate for
a custom...
Where is it now....?


​

 

no I didn't buy it.

 

Found this in a shed. Guy at work told me he knew where there was an old Model A buried in a shed. Almost didn't go look at it as I wasn't in the market for a Model A. Best buy I ever made.

 

This one was supposedly parked in 1974. I like the old chrome steel wheels and the pinner whites.

 

What does it look like now?? Do you still have it?

 

HA! This one has a cut down 1931 Dodge Brothers radiator and shell. Hardly ever see those on a hotrod.
