Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

Went and looked (and my friend bought) a 56 Chevy that has been sitting for years. (can be seen in the background). The guy has this Studebaker also.......sitting but not really rotting too bad. V8 car. Damn, I kinda want it bad.

 

Just do it if you get in trouble just tell them I said it was ooohhhhkkkk

 

Looking at the door trim, its a '58

 

damn...nice little Studie Daytona hardtop....1962.....know of a IDENTICAL (wave hands a few times) one up in Springtown Tx....

 

Poor thing

 

Surprised no one has saved that yet... looks easily better than what some here have started with

It's actually a '63. The easy way to tell is the roof, glass, and door frames. Still a deserving project, either way!

Another poor thing:

 

Being relocated to another resting spot. 57 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer.

 

That was what I was told when I went back...........1963. Has a SBC and he wants $3500. I would have made an offer if it had been an Indiana produced car and had original drive train. (I didn't bother to check after saying it didn't have the 289).

My buddy did get the 56 home. Hadn't been on the road since 1987. We put a fuel pump on it and drove it home (not far) with only the left front brake working.

 

wvenfield,

Are you aware that at the end of their life Studebaker was putting small blocks in their cars? Was it definitely a transplant or was it a crusty original in the car?

 

I am NO Studebaker expert. He said it wasn't original but maybe he isn't an expert either. Not to take this off topic but with more info I will go back. (It was really cold and we were mainly trying to get the 56 home)

But, no, I was not aware of that. The car is really solid. I read that they made very few 1963's in Indiana. Yeah?

 

Studebaker used their own engines through the '64 model year.

'65 and '66 Studebakers used GM engines.

 

Peanut,

Thanks for the clarification. I thought Studebaker had moved to the GM engines in '63.

 

Another rusting spot ?

 

Too much chatter, need more photos....

 

64 Ford wagon must be in Texas paint burned off.

 

51-52 ford f1

 

Jeez, that safe is almost big enough to hold that 32 5/w!

 

WOW cracker head.I really like that 1st ford station wagon! Bruce.

 

The galaxie wagon I bought for $10 thirty years ago. It had been parked and someone removed the hood. and it rained in the 289. I sold the Rare 5 bolt c4 Bellhousing to a hamb member. A walk in bought the pass side rear glass and tailgate glass and window crank parts. The passenger side is wiped out. The white fairlane I bought for parts for some HTPs I have. The pictures are recient.

 

took apart pilot house dodge. that's the only pilot house tailgate I have. I don't think anyone repops the sheet metal for the dodges.

 

It won’t fit. Safe is full of gold bullion.

 

It could be yours...

 

I've seen cars like that in California.

 

Not an Eastern car no rotted lower body,

 

57 dump truck runs I installed 307 V8. old WPA cement mixer. probably helped build part of Route 66 I bought it up in Missouri. Old 1949 D4 cat. I used it in the 70,s. for every hour I ran it I wrenched on it 4 hours. WWII td 14 crawler. old cable blade. It still runs. Diesel with spark plugs. carb and ignition on one side. fuel injection on the opposite side. starts on gas and you flip a lever to increase compression and it switches to diesel. Bought a red parts dozer to keep it going.
