Check out todays new barn find. Its been sitting in a dry garage for 22 years. I had to jump on it. I don't know If I'll ever get to her. Ill research what's in her. She has a v8 and a manual trans. Everythings their except the drivers door. She pretty solid but has some rot in the typical places. The motor turns over. Ill change the oil, slap in a new battery, and clean up the points to see if it will run. I may flip her
Great find, it would have been me if not you. A 57 2dr in red, cann't get any better. Lite up those tubes.
The 57 was a mile from my house in South Jersey. I never get that lucky. I usually end up on the short end of the stick. I worked with a guy in Philly back in 2006. The guy ends up moving a few towns over from my house and calls me out of the blue about this garage loaded with car parts and tools. He has a cleaning business and ends up cleaning up this ladys house for the last year that is loaded with good tools and my 57. He was scrapping starters, carbs and trannies when I got their. Their is hundreds of ford parts ( dizzies, ignition and filters. brake parts, you name it) from I don't know what that are being thrown out. I am trying to get the tools but I may have sit back and wait till the tools get picked over. Theirs a complete wood shop. The guy was a auto mechanic and had some great tools. I scored a power steering cylinder from a 50 something front end that I have to idenify. I got a cealed shop exhaust fan along with some other supplies.
Wow, it certainly has a nice side and then there's the other side..... Looks easy enough to fix. Did it come with a title??
good title. the bad side has the fender. its pretty straight foward to bring up to snuff. the drivers side door looks like it got caught rolling backwards. The rust repair is not real bad.
