Cars you bought/saved in 2007???

If this kind of stuff is still getting crushed I think everyone on this board needs to leave their phone number with every scrap yard around!!

 

This is all I could manage in 2007, but I'm happy to have it

 

Picked me up a real cool 32 Ford 3 window. Just needs some assembly.

 

I bought a '49 Ford Club Coupe back in May. Now it's down to a body and a frame.

I think I'm on the five-year plan.

 

I love this car! If I didn't have a shoebox to occupy me, I'd buy it in a minute. I hope you get it on the road.

 

I SOLD this one in November...



So that I could by this one! This is the very first car I ever owned, and it's back now. Woo Hoo! It was my dad's car, but I did a decent amount of work on it, including a new trunk floor and dash resto.




And I bought this one back in May, which now shows a lot of work I've completed on it.

 

All you could manage?!? That is a beautiful car!!

 

To some people they're just junk. Between two local you-pull-it yards right now, two '63 Catalinas are slowly dying - one a solid 4dr with a MINT interior, the other a Convertible.. and not split in two! The same yard that got the 4dr, believe it or not had a '66 GTO hidden in the employees only area. They sold it complete for $850 to a guy who deals in old car stuff.. it wasn't in bad shape, either. Thats why I keep buying cars -

 

I only bought 1 in 2007, but between starting the year unemployed and then having a stroke, I still did pretty good...


Plus I still have most of my other junk as well...

 

This is one I pulled out of the woods, haven't done anything with it yet. Still better than going to the crusher.URL=http://imageshack.us][/url]

Heres a shot a fellow HAMBER had of the same car from around 1970.

 

53 buick hard top saved from the elements


50 chevy for my sisters , gotta love West Texas cars



mooneyez my girlfriend saved this one

 

Picked up a rough buit usable 26/27 T roadster and 29 boxed A frame.



And various other stuff that I could build into an RPU

 

x2!

 

The only one I got in 07, havent started on it yet though. Gotta get my bike on the road first, then I'll start building the frame for this bad boy. I also saved a 57 DeSoto 341 hemi that will go in this A.

 

I hope this worked ? Now if you click on my profile , this is the exact same car now cruising the streets after not running since 1978 . Waterpump was locked up and the Holley 750 needed some work but after about 3 hours of tinkering she fired . Needless to say , if that Chevy powerplant that was put in that car in 1970 wasn't locked up tighter than a drum , I knew she would live again with some coaxing ! 1962 -327 w/ T400 in a 1935 Plymouth Coupe I found in El Paso Tx. Absolutelt 0 rust .....and I looked HARD ! I own a restoration shop and other than the rear taking a small tap just below the trunk , I couldn't find any filler to speak of either ! I think even though this isn't my dream 1933 or 34 Ford , she is still a "KEEPER" ! I have been cruising her every night for the last week and she just loves being back on the road , I CAN TELL because we talk to each other ! LOL She let me know her generator was tired last night when it sounded like I installed a geardrive on-the-fly about an hour into her night ! Time for the old one-wire alternator trick to get things back charging and a bit less irritating on the ears . I'll put more pics up of some of my jobs and rides over the years when I figure out how to shrink my JPEGS down ? Take care guys and hope you like it , Jerry "CK".... CamaroKid

 

i got these 2 trucks in 2007, a '57 and a '60 ford. got my eye on 2 more, just gotta get my hands on some money.........

 

this last year i only bought one old car, well truck. it was a 51 chevy 5 window 3600 pick up i bought from an old man who had been using it as a hay truck on his farm since about 85 he said.only paid 1200$ and it runs great.i also bought a chevy tahoe this last month to pull my other cars around with.

this year i also sold a 57 international pick up ive had for awhile. glad to see that one go.too much work with that.

 

I think she'll buff out !

 

I got this '28 p/u last June, still needs a new motor.

 

Saved from the crusher are 64 Gran Prix 2DHT and 64 Catalina 2DHT..a friend gave me a 71 MGB..I bought for $2000 a relatively rust and dent free 48 Cadillac sedanette..moved 30+ cars 85 miles from San Antonio to Austin..bought for $1500 a nice 69 Impala cruiser that a co-worker had all re-done then put it into a telephone pole, I just happened to have a 4D thats going to donate its frontend..and, the guy at the Harley dealership said he could put me on that 1200cc Sportster for $100 a month! at 54 mpg. compared to my trucks 15 mpg. the gas savings alone will make my note payment!..Hows that for justification, Sally bought it...

 

I bought my first american car... a 1951 4-d Chevy. It's in pretty good condition but needs new paint, a chop, new interior and some other things

It has a rebuilt engine who just have gone a few miles sence the rebuild. New brakes and 99% rustfree. I bought it from a guy who had lost his father, his father was the only owner on the car and i got it for a realy nice price.





In 2008 i hope to buy an Olds 1937 2-d i know just standing outside a barn just waiting to be rodded i think with a -39 chevy front end and a V8 it can be a realy nice ride.

 

I test drove that car! Almost bought it but it didn't work out. Congrats on such a nice car!
