Hot Rods FINALLY!....36 3w SURVIVOR FIND...

happy early birthday to me


well finally got my 36 3window home. ive been after this car for about two years after the family showing me the car when i went to look at their unmolested 32 5 window UNMOLESTED deuce. i couldnt afford the 32 (sold for 26k) both of these cars were a family friends who passed away

butch (deceased) originally came from california after returning from Vietnam, with him he brought this 36, drove it around for years and then decided to update it a little bit....drove it around, then decided to put a big block in it, well after disassembling the car other things took precedence such as a 69 z28, 66 chevy 2 and a 67 427 tripower vette to name a few

in the pictures the front fenders you see on it are an extra set he had (good fenders at my house) the whole body still wears its original black lacquer paint i found every part to the car except the stainless grill surround


untouched since late 60s early 70s

specs: 67-69 350 engine with 69 double hump z/28 heads
65-67 close ratio muncie m21 4 speed
55-57 chevy rear end
dago dropped axle
juice brakes
an early maybe Mr.gasket electric fuel pump
all stewart warner gauges

ill throw some pics of the 32 in after words

my boss dad and friend are in most pictures, im in the picture sitting in drivers seat

 

some more pics

 

heres the 32 i originally went to look at

 

Excellent x 2.....lucky man....enjoy

 

Congrats, it is beautiful.

 

Nice Find .... congrats
Those Fords have just been waiting for their next journey.

 

Great find love the 3 windows.

 

Great find! It is always nice to have a car with some history that goes with it, good luck with the rebuild. Bob

 

thanks everyone, to - the37kid - im slowly gettin some more history on it, i have 2 local guys names that ive been tryin to get in contact with to pick their brains, one of which was good friends with the original owner

 

That is an awesome car. I'll be watching the build.

 

Congratulations on the 3 window..I think someone molested the Deuce,it's got a Model A bumper on the front. HRP

 

im a fan of the 36 to awsome find if there any thing i can help just asks

 

HRP yeah i did notice that, i meant in the aspect of the whole, original banger motor, original interior was still in, originial paint etc. and to - richbud- thanks alot ill definitely hit you up if i run into anything as i am more familiar in and out with model As

 

$26K for the deuce was a bargain...wow! However, I'm really digging on the '36 - I like them way better than deuces anyway and it's a 3 window to boot. Have fun working on it.

 

Congratulations!

 

Congrats on a great score....hope I find some gems like that when I head over your way in a few months!

 

Congratulations! I know what it's like to finally get what you always wanted. Sometimes, feelings can't be put into words. I wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide to do with her.

 

Hope you build it like he would have with the big block. I bet he was thinking of that 427 3X2 .
Nice find your going to have too much fun now.

 

Congrats, nice find - I know exactly how you feel !

 

I'm probably gonna go with same vibe multi carb setup etc as in my model A stay with a 60s vibe....or go opposite and tail drag it,........ Tagman it has been exciting week. Been in this deal/dance with his wife..for an older lady she sure was busy...all in all its been a little over 2 years from first look..to deal. To final buy and pickup of the car

 

The look on your face said it all. Congratulations!

 

Congrats on the cool score. Very clean body, for a PA car( edit: now realize it's a Calf body). That fuel pump looks to be a Stewart-Warner 240A model. The rumble uph material looks to be '64 SS Impala rear seat. Sure will make for a neat rod.

 

And an even better looking early style CUSTOM. Just my thought.

 

Sweet score!

 

Huh, only two years? I waited 15 years for mine. Congrats. I feel your joy.

 

Awesome find! There's nothing quite like unearthing an old car from where it has rested for many years. Good luck with whatever you choose to do with it. RO

 

Congrats on the find! 36 three windows don't show up everyday, you are a lucky guy!

 

Great to finally see you get through and able to buy it. 36-3W is one of my favorites, you are a lucky guy!

 

Thanks to everyone's hospitality, it's nice to see people be happy for someone instead of the people around my town mad because they don't have the car or something or look down on me because I'm 24 , this car wont be going anywhere,it's staying with me I'll have some updates soon as I've already been working on it
