Brought the coupe home today

I bought this a few weeks ago, but just got enough room in the garage to bring it home. Found it about 40 miles away. It had been on blocks in a heated basement for 23 yrs. I hope to get started on it later this year.

 

Sweet little coupe you got there.

Any plans for it?

Super sweet!! Keep us updated.

 

sweeeet! nice score man!!

 

Nice find!

 

In a basement ? Indulge us if you will, whats the story behind the storage ?. Not many houses can handle a coupe in the basement. I'm guessing the 4o miles was south of Akron in a split level house built to store a coupe...

Cleveland, without a basement

How lucky can you get! Have fun.......

 

nice find gene,id start on the paper work before you start tearing it into peices,its easyer to register thru a broker that way than to do it the dmv way.good luck on your build. filthy frank.

 

Is that a dart, Im restoring one for myself not much but its a original 383 4 speed car nice coupe also really solid looking

 

Actually, it was east. Found it in Columbiana. It was in the basement of a small heating company. I went to Columbiana a few weeks ago to see a car (32 5 window) that was being painted for a friend. I asked the painter if there was any chance he knew of any A coupes for sale. He said yes, there is one a couple blocks away. Needless to say when I saw it, I bought it. I asked if I could leave it there a while and he said, well its been here for 23 years I guess a few more days won't matter.

 

Yes, it's a 57k mile surviver. It's a V/8 Swinger. Here's a pic, also my 65 Hemi car.

 

its hard to believe that iron like that is still out there but it is. you just have to look harder!

 

is that fiberglass fenders & running boards? Super clean car, put the sawzall to it!!

~Let the games begin~I had a blast building my Model a

 

Wow ! Quite a find ! I love hearing about stuff like this. It gives me hope that when I can afford Henry steel (one day....), it'll still be out there.

Aaargh! In my hometown no less. Wasn't aware of this one but
I'm sure I could guess the company. I'm sure not telling where the
rest are. Old Henry himself used to hang out in Columbiana with
hometown guy Harvey Firestone. BTW the speed shop I got my
start in in town used to race a hemi belvedere super stocker with
Grumpy Jenkins power. Great score on the A, I'm jealous
now. Curious as to which shop is painting the 32 5 window but
understand that some don't want to share that kind of info.
Good luck on your build. Keep us updated?

 

SCORE! That is Super Duper!
My finds tend to be 90% rust 5%cow dung 5% metal.
But remember 60% of the time it works everytime.
