Projects They ARE still out there.....

You've got to be fucking kidding me. Amazing! You win.

 

Score of a lifetime!

 

I'm speechless-------------------- You are Blessed among men!

Congrats.
I'm going to start opening up every old abandoned semi trailer I see.

 

Not any more. Those particular ones anyway. Good score.

I know of a few stashes of NOT FOR SALE early ford stuff. I got my 35 3W out of one. The problem is there are so many guys with dollars standing in line the "little" guy will never get a shot. I can't drive more than one at a time so that's OK. I can live vicariously through threads like these on the Hamb.

Thanks for sharing.

 

What's the bidding starting at?

Sold--Sold--Sold

Holy schnikes!

 

So close.......... And yet soooo far (for me)

 

Amazing ! everytime i pass an old garage or barn or enclosure of any kind that appears to have been neglected for years i can't help wondering what treasures they may contain. Congrats on the awesome score. Off topic question : there is a highboy coupe in the backround of the last pic.What is the code or the reference name for that color maroon.It's the exact color i want for my 32 5 window. Thanks,Bob

 

Well played! Kind of stuff I dream about

 

NICE SCORE!!!!!Bruce.

 

Good for you , glad you got to them before someone called the scrapman.

 

Damn nice score. Color me jealous!

 

I often wonder who will obtain or find the last 1957 Chevy Bel Air, two door hardtop. Not one that has been someone's "put away project car", that all the locals know about, but the one that fail to start, and was push back into the back of the barn, or behind the barn and not taken for a trade in.

 

Damn!

 

Wow, unreal!! Good for you, biting the bullet and going for it - what a reward!

GREAT! Score.....This is the shit dreams are mad of right here...Way to go by keeping after it

 

Will either of the '32 bodies be for sale?

Steve

 

Thanks guys!
I haven't really decided what the future holds for them yet.
Been asked whats for sale multiple times, nothing yet, but maybe in the future to keep other projects moving forward.
Both of the cars are by no means mint, but very saveable with some straightening, lower patch, floor and rear subframe work. It has been really cool to find out exactly how the cars were assembled at the factory. They both retain small pieces of upholstery and the wood tack strips inside.
For now they will get put up on the shelf for a later date. First priority is my other roadster that will come to life this summer. Having two other original references has been an eye opener for this other roadster.

 

I saw some of these pictures on IG, but I didn't make the connection that it was a southern Ontario find.

Out of curiosity, where was it? That's a hell of a score, you're a lucky man!

 

That is excellent....indeed, they are still out there!....I know of 3 old garages/sheds that have ''stuff'' in them within 20 miles, and the buildings just get more dilapidated every year...somebody will end up with the stuff at some point....What a great find you have scored....I think I would have had a hard time NOT running around in circles and telling everyone what I found within the 1st minutes...haha....good on ya'!!!

 

Awesome score- what's the back story?
