Annual 2010 "what did you buy/save this year?" thread

I seem to do this at the end of every year. I know 99% of the guys/gals on this board are real tin hunters...so lets see em. What did you buy or save this year? Heres my lineup. What will 2011 bring???? For me I hope it's more 33/34 Fords


1933 Pheaton







1934 roadster






1933 pickup






Three Model A roadsters








1949 Ford coupe

 

'27 Tudor.

 

'49 mg tc

 

busy year for me as well.
-I finally got to this '63 Impala that my uncle stashed away in 1990. Yes its a 409 car. There was literally about 100lbs of crap piled on the roof.



-Sold my truck and bought the DeSoto for a family friendly build.


-got this pile on trade for labor. Flathead Merc is the only thing im gonna use


-Went looking for a T frame and wound up buying this the same day. Plans for this are custom frame, Flathead Merc from above truck, and full pick up truck conversion.

 

2 '55 Chevy 2 door hardtops, one is an old straight axle drag car, also found some old magnesium slots in a storage locker.





A '57 Ford 2 door post that was someone's hot rod, has a 289/3 speed in it and they notched out the front seat for shifter clearance, kinda cool.





A running '38 Chevy boom truck with a big winch on it, from a garage sale



A super solid '57 Chevy 2 door wagon which is already gone.



A chopped '50 DeSoto that was abandoned at a body shop



Plus a '69 Skylark 2 door hardtop and a '51 Dodge truck that I don't have pictures of. My favorite this year though is this '62 Chrysler, I'll definitely be keeping this.



I found a lot of stuff this year, there are cars coming out of the woodwork, not to mention probably 6 or more parts cars that I stripped and scrapped or are in the process.

 

A pile of 48 ford trucks. So far an F-5 w/ flathead 8, an F-6 with everything but the motor, and an F-1 'rodentbar' that needs the transmission replaced. There's a bunch of camaros and toyota pickups and Rv's that don't count as well.

 

Traded my truck for this gem. I was told that I was only going to be the temporary owner of this car and as it turns out I may be trading this one for a 50 Ford here in a couple of weeks.

 

31 Model A 5 window coupe, 51 flathead ford v8 and a mid 30's to early 40's dodge truck bed.

 

I purchased this from the nicest folks you'd ever get around to meeting. I just couldn't let it go home with anybody else! It's a '50 but somewhere down the line someone titled it as a '49...and just when I got the title transfered to my name, the lady at the DMV insisted it was a Coupe because it only has 2 doors!! Why argue? It's in my name now. So gentlemen, what your are seeing is indeed a 1949 Ford Coupe!

 

Traded my 29 coupe for a 39 coupe, sold the 39 to buy back my 29 coupe (long story) bought a 29 tudor which I sold to second amendment and just found a 32 fordor. I hope the future yeilds me more 32's!

the 39



my coupe back with me and the new 29



My new 32 fordor

 

I've been collecting parts on the Super Cheap. Model A roadster cowl posts, tank, firewall, cowl panels, 40 ford hood, guide lights, steering column, etc

Gonna build that boattail speedster I keep seeing in my mind..........someday

 

show off...

and all the pieces to turn it into this.....



and this hunk of junk

 

I'm saving this 55 Caddy thats been hiding out in a barn since summer of 64 intil april this year

 

a 52 buick, 65 mustang fastback and a 66 mustang coupe, all three were headed to the scrap yard.

 

Model A Ford







1934 Ford











2 Mercury V8s

 

WOW, nice 34. That reminds me of those armor all commercials where they pull a car out of a junkyard and with a sprits or two of the shiny stuff it transforms into a beauty!

 

Geez! I feel like such a piker. I only bought one car in July this year:
1946 Austin sedan


And a bunch of parts to make this:

 

That is Bad Ass!!!!

 

Im not sure i can even remember but ill try

I bought a 34 pheaton, 32 fordor, 29 rpu, 29 roadster, 32 p/u, that was about it this year.

 

a ton of 53,54,57,58 Chevy and Buick stuff

 

1933 Dodge,,well most of it.

 

Only a 32 truck cab for me. I'm jealous of Chris. Thats some nice stuff!

 

I'm happy I sold off a lot of stuff this year, nothing major, just stuff I no longer needed. Sad thing it just covered household bills, once "Car Money" mixes into "Household" money it never gets seperated again. I did buy a 1929 Ford Fordor "Steel Back" body section, and have a lead on the remaining parts from another. Got myself working on the '30 Roadster project, that really makes me happy. All in all 2010 was a good year, I got a great Son in Law in July.

 

a 1928 or 29 model A coupe jig saw puzzle from The Hunnert Car Pile UP.

 

We saved this willys that was an old drag car back in the 60's.

 

Here it is back in the day.

 

This year I purchased some CRC, some fish oil, and with some time, cleaned up& organised my old car some. And I restored a coupla doors on the project.
So I started!

 

My dad and I bought this '40 Chevy 2 door sedan. It was a driver again before putting it in storage for the winter.

 

I guess I'm saving my '59 F100
