Projects So.... I found a 37 lincoln zephyr yesterday!

Hit a couple swap meets Friday and they were small enough that we had some extra time on our hands so me and Mikeintulsa we driving around and came across a plethora of rusty junk.... in the midst was a 1937 Zephyr that was pulled from creek or something. It had sat upside down for a long time, it's pretty rusty but I think it will save a few others and get them back on the road with its parts!

OK, I'll be the jerk......"It'll buff out."

Now that's out of the way, it's really a nice find.

 

One hell of a project. I wish you luck. It'll be worth it.

 

This ain't no project.. it will part out and save several others though and get them on the road!

 

All it needs is a tune up

Yup, there are parts there that folks certainly could use!

 

What are you thinking of asking for the whole thing? Pm me if you like, if it's been on it's roof are the floors any good?any running gear?

 

Wow, just WOW

 

Let me be the first...

Let's get Jim Sibley to work on it. He will have that back in shape in no time.

 

You know its not like the good ole days and I'm talkin 70's, 80's when there was still tons of tin laying in the fields and beside buildings, barns and houses. The big scrap drives took care of that. Soooo its refreshing to see something like this super desirable even ruff as it is in the raw. Glad its going to survive pieced but survive. Thanks for sharing that junk... @chaddilac

 

I need to pay you for some more new work soon so you have more spare cash to buy more of this amazing shit you keep coming across!!!!

 

Sell it to Asphalt Demon. He's a nice guy and I would like to help him make a roof for it. . . . If he lets me help.

 

there's a couple of Zephyr coupes at Austin Speed Shop that could benefit from a donor.

 

V12?????

 

It sold, it's going to California to save a couple other cars!

Cool.

 

I just missed out on the one in Perth you went to look at for chuck too. I think gettin this one home would have been a nightmare, do you know who bought the one in Perth? It sold in 30 seconds he said.

 

Wow! That didn't take long!

 

That guy in Rome with that 1949 Cadillac project on here could probably fix that Lincoln...

 

The Perth one was a huge undertaking. Would have suited a Carson top. (Or a Hall top if you could afford me. Hehe ) The roof was an inch thick in bog.
I've got the seller's details somewhere.

 

Asphalt Demon is a very nice guy if i had a linclon he could have it for free. I'll keep a look out for ya over here. Murf

 

Yeah, I know that car, I loaded it out of LA.
It was originally on a Ford Ranger chassis and ran a Vulcan V6 engine.

 

That's an interesting custom trim on the bonnet, almost looks like it should be there, did it have any other custom modifications

 

I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it, but that's a 1937 Studebaker hood (with stock trim).

 

What a great find. I am glad to know that it is going to help save some other Zephers.
It is hard to think that the only part on the Zepher we were looking for in the late 50s, was the transmission.
Looking back, it seems like a crime, but there were lots of them in the wreckers. I still remember seeing a 40 Lincoln convertible in the auto wrecker, and it ended up going to the crusher.

Cad Mad ,neo lowered the price on the body only to $ 2,750.00 Aussie dollars, I jumped on it, his add had been posted only 2 mins.
And thanks Murph ! I hope to catch up with you again soon or one day for beers.do you go to pendine sands? Thought I may come over and watch Johnny

 

Haven't been to pendine yet, some day , and we shall have beer when we hook up.

 

Got her all loaded up and shes about to head towards California soon! She got some windshield time and I think she liked it!!

 

With all the abuse that car has seen in the last 80 years, how the hell did the grille survive perfectly intact?
