Bought a 34 5 window at estate auction

I was the high bidder on this cool 34 at a local flat head, but all around rare ford performance guru's estate auction.Its a Florida car steel body,hood,and deck lid,glass fenders + boards.Its un chopped with a filled roof[which I will change]un filled cowl vent ,opening windshield ,mostly orig floors,and all I can see is 2 SMALL patches on each lower quarter at the reveal.Doors open and shut unbelievably .Super nice chassis,4 link rear ,9",orig x member ,I does have a mustang II ft that Im not crazy about but it is nicely done and steers great.[I plan to put an axle under it down the road.As for the drivetrain its a fresh 350/350,W/air. chrome is nice body is nicer.Im going to tear it down this winter for repaint ,un fill the roof and a fresh interior.Heres some pics the day I brought it home and a few after a MINOR cleaning ,removing the ft bumper,and adding my old chrome reverse.Hope you like as I Sure Do.

 

Awesome!

 

Good score

 

very nice - thanks for showing us.

 

If you are running out of garage space I'll take the '55 off your hands. Heck, throw the Pan into the deal!!!! I'm not fussy.

 

Ha Ha ,not out of space yet but the shoebox ford is the only one Im least attached to

 

Very nice man, love full fended cars.

 

Wow, looks like a sharp '34! But it sound like you're going to make it even better!

 

Great looking car. When you said you were going to change the filled-in, but unchopped roof, I thought, oh shit. Glad to hear your only opening it back up. It's got a great roof line.

 

I'd leave the mustang II stuff in there if it's working right. You could powder coat the A arms black if you wanted to make them less visible or something but on a fendered car, who cares.

That car is too nice to fix what ain't broken.

Good score!

 

Great buy! Pays to be in the right place at the right time!

 

Wow! My favorite model and year!

 

looks good. i'm not a big fan of mustang II either , but if it is done right i'd leave it in. maybe add some 2" dropped spindles to get it down in front

i'd also get rid of those painted running boards and put on some rubber covered ones

 

Nice find

 

Yeah, who doesn't like a 33-34, 5 window? Congrats.

 

Im actually leaving for syracuse nats in a few hours and I am picking up some dropped spindles hoping for a show special HAHAHAHA!!!

 

nice buy! damn nice car

 

Great find and I agree on 36-3window's comment (not my favorite as well) on leaving it as is if it's done right .... thunderbirdesq (sp?) is pretty close to you and has a 34 now for some pointers ....

 

Tough to beat a '34!

 

Good on you man!

 

Awesome! Beings it was at an auction, did you get it for a good deal?

 

Well I DIDNT go there to buy a car but when the bidding was stuck at 17000 I jumped in and started bidding .

 

Excellent!!!!

 

Wow now thats a good buy,Congrats!
