Old Hot rod Find 30 roadster

Great score!

 

This car is like a time capsule on wheels !!! skinnydude

 

An old time hot rod. Good score!

 

I would sure like to know what it took to remove those fenders and, if the 1/4's were saved.

 

i think this thing was on ebay as a project a bunch of times

 

That's a cool old hot rod! I dig those old headers.

 

Now, that's what I'm talkin' about

 

1/4's were replaced.

 

I would sure like to know what it took to remove those fenders and, if the 1/4's were saved.

1/4's were replaced.

....and thrown out by the last owner when he had them replaced.

A bummer for sure. It had been in a pretty nasty fire a while ago.

 

54 four door? ... dang! love it!

 

Saw this on instagram.
A bona fide Hot Rod!
Congrats!

 

I think that's part of the reason this thread got started. I know Ricky, Dave and I were talking about that. Important to get the truth of this car out there and not have it misrepresented.

Man, that's an awesome score! CONGRATS.................Piece of shit IT AIN'T!

 

Damn, just saw the vimeo, that thing sounds great!

 

Oh man!!!

 

Hope you are not going to replace those rear fenders as they were..not everything was great in the "good old days"..

Those remind me of the horrendous fender flares muscle cars were made to endure in the 70's..

..but it is your car..

 

..too cool AJ, sounds and looks better than I thought....Ricky rules!!! haha

 

I highly doubt it'll get those fenders back.

It really sounds like a drag motor now that the side pipes are off of it!

Oh man, that sounds really good...

 

Does anyone recognize it?

 

history is a bit off car was built in 62-63 by frank greenwood had a 312 tri power in it then in 66-67 2 fours were installed and set up for the strip richard who was a woody allen look alike bought the car late 60s early 70s then sold it to head off to hollywood car changed hands a bunch of times many changes along the way car was destroyed in a fire around 95 then again was sold a few times till it got here pic is another roadster owned by richard other pic is the 30 around a year before it burnt

 

Wow, to think as recently as '95/'96 it still looked that good (minus the wheel/tire choice, of course). I have to agree with a few folks who aren't fans of the rear fenders. I prefer the fenderless look it has now, but that's small potatoes. I'm just glad you're saving it!

 

This picture was definitely taken at Dieppe Gardens in Windsor!
