Man thats cool.....

 

EdselDude, I am ALL OVER this ride...I would love to have one of these! WAY cool! Congrats on this awesome ride!!! E

 

Zoom,

Do you own this thing now? If so, let's see it!!!

 

Great car! Thanks for posting

 

Looks more like a `61-`64

 

How many horsepowers in those things?

 

Instead of just posting a comment, I'll post something I took just last week...owner wants to sell 50 year collection of parts. Probably not alot of Jag guys here but if you need something this guy probably has it.....

 

bought this for $100 last year with a clean title...then traded it for an Esab 300 amp power supply and wire feeder an Tig attachments and torch...awesome deal

 

Sorry for multiple posts, forgot about these in my phone, neither car was for sale..the Catalina was black w/red interior and still had 1962 plates on it, the Huckster still runs and had '87 plates from using it in a parade....

 

This was stored over 20 years when I bought it. Matching numbers engine '42 Chrysler Royal with Spitfire Six.

 

i'll try again with this 57' MGA......... you have to upload them 1 at a time !
Thanx guys; Tom S. in Tn.

 

I wonder why! it looks good! keep trying! where is it again?

 

Dude, i'm so glad someone bought this car. i told the dude i would take it if he couldn't sell it to have as an extra nuts a bots car for my coupe. i woulda hated to break it up though..

 

Here is a kit car I'm currently working on...found it in a old barn.been sitting for 19 yrs...doing lots of mods and general work to it now

 

Not all these are recent but were found in, around, or under barns
This one is Dad's - came out of a barn in 1978 for $225, he flat towed it home and caught the powerglide on fire because he didn't disconnect the torque tube driveshaft. It was his daily driver for 10 years, the first car I ever drove, and has been in and out of several barns over the last 20 years.

 

Triumph TR3, sat in the back of a barn since '71. Still had the stack of newspapers in the back from when the owner quit his paper route!

 

This one was a fun find....went with a buddy to Maysville Ky to pick up a 57 Cadillac he'd bought, and this was sitting on the hill under a tarp. 47 Continental with a 331 Cad swapped in. Actually got to drive it, but couldn't keep it.

 

My ultimate barn find...actually was under a barn. Found at the Mitchell, In auction several years ago. Gawd that was a fun auction...met a few Hambers there too.
32 Cabriolet, 29 RPU, 25 T center door sedan, and just behind it was a 25 T touring

 

This is making me kinda nostalgic...last one I promise.
Really nicely optioned 47 Aerosedan with fog lights, radio, twin backup lights..I got to drive it too before selling. My problem is I want everything and I have a short attention span!

 

Bout the only thing I ever found in a barn.

 

mmm...pie

 

That looks like one of those areas where you could get shot if you were not with someone from that area.

 

...found at a landscapers back lot about 5 years ago,...32 DeSoto coupe
with 34 Plymouth grille...still got it.

 

picked itg up last friday 40 ford sedan delivery...guy bought it in the late 70s...sat in a building that collapsed then he put it up on oil drums how i found it...



at home in my garage

 

Yeah, It does have the same floor pans as a 61-64. The f350 was built that way in 65. I guess they used left over parts to build the big trucks. After cleaning it out and getting the homemade "utility body" off the back, I discovered that the bed was in pretty good shape. Guess I'll part with it as I'm putting a 65-66 half ton bed and fenders on it. Truck is unbelievably solid.
