Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

Wow and wow! Too bad someone hacked both the dash & core support on the sedan delivery. I'd love to buy the heater core out of it, though.
The red sedan has a 210 specific lower dash stainless piece intact. Not reproduced.
Hack job on it's transmission tunnel.

 

And an old Dodge, note the SD in the background. Plus the inevitable brandy case, in pretty much every moldering old car trunk in Wisconsin.

 

Still there for 900 bucks?

 

Looks more like an F-250 3/4 ton. It's a '55.

 

Both of these are currently on Craigslist.

That's a good tune, and a cool van.

 

Yeah, should have mentioned that, wasn't sure if that is OK to post or not. Not mine BTW.

 

{Just my thoughts about Hoarders}. I really don't think there's that many of them. I'm sure there are a few people that do hoard up old tin, and won't sell them. And maybe they let them sit and rot. But I'm sure there's alot of people like myself who enjoy the hunt, and would like to see them all saved. I'll drag them home, I live out in the country so I can. So I guess, I kinda look like a hoarder. But the truth is, if an old car is not a pre 35 Ford, or not in greatest condition, no one really wants to save it. Here are a few for less than a grand, that could use a new home. The 49 shoe box is a project that I found. It has a SBC, and is very solid, and has all its parts stored inside it. { I took the photo before I drug her home}, for only two grand. But I don't need another project! I just can't pass this stuff up. I'd sell any of them for just the money I paid for them. I'd just like to see them saved. So it's not really hoarding. But it may look that way. Lol I think most people now days, just don't want to build this stuff anymore. It's kinda SAD

 

I like to call my stuff a Hoard. But I do sometimes sell stuff. Real ready willing and able buyers are few and far between. Tire kickers, lookie loos, time wasters & be backs & thieves are plentiful. So you become Jaded and sometimes its just easier & a lot more fun to state Not For Sale. Come and bring a friend (I can only watch one person at a time) or your dog and you aint likely to get thru the gate. And if you say I gotta ask my wife forget it I wouldn't sell it to you even if she says yes.

 

This 59 F-100 was sitting and rotting since 96 until yesterday. Now it’s sitring and rotting at my place! I stopped on it last year. Wasn’t for sale. I left my number and he called me out of the blue Saturday evening. It cleaned up pretty nice. What a beast. It’s the twin to my 59 factory 4WD

 

^ Like and like again.^ Good score!! Now I know what the one near me is. Will attempt to get a pic, twin to yours here in the Northeast. It may be a fleetside.

 

Look at the bias ply spare mounted on the bed worn slick as a gut and still holding air. and in the bed junk radials with deep tread?

 

That Ford is beautiful.
Those Fords are beautiful.

 

Damn nice trucks.

 

Neat stable mate Chris. At the rate you're "accumulating" vehicles, you're going to have to sell your house and move out to a place with property, build a big barn...

 

They go out as fast as they come in

 

You probably noticed the full floater rear axle under the truck? The guy installed that years ago to better handle the firewood he used the truck to get. He had the factory 9" that he pulled from the truck. While negotiating, I asked if the original 9" rear went with it. His response "Yeah...if I can keep the racks and tires in the back"

Some time back I posted a picture of my 27 Buick , I believe it was on this thread, and made a comment about it being left at my house by Al Capone , it was a joke , and that the car was originally owned by a doctor in Dallas Oregon and when he died in 1957 the family parked it in the barn on and on... anyway someone replied to the post and said that they knew who the family was in Dallas Oregon.... I would like to speak to you... I don't remember your name ..sorry..and I have tried to find the original posting but it is buried and I can't find it... I think it was around a year or so ago....if you you are still on the H.A.M.B. please message me ....or if any one else See's the post and the person's name that replied please contact me with a PM....thank you...

I'm glad you found it, Rudestude. I had a feeling you would. I remember your thread but also forgot where it was either.

A fate worse than sitting and rotting.
