Hot Rods SOLD the newer Buick wagon , now looking for a new project

Anymore prospects anyone?

 

I may have to go look at that 67 Mopar wagon this weekend.Bruce.

 

Bruce,
Nothing local in your price range. Seems if everyone thinks their rusty POS with no title is worth its weight in gold. I did see this 63 Fairlane in Oregon. Straight 6 with 3 on the tree. Its more than you want to spend but its going to be real hard to find something decent for $3500.00. IMHO Anyway here is the link:

1963 ford Fairlane ranch wagon - $6000

 

I like Old Wolf's '55 Ford, lots of guys on the '52-'59 Ford Forum have either a '55 or '56.

 

Happy (belated) Birthday,Bruce! Did you get the running hot condition squared away?

 

Bruce, may I suggest cars-on-line. Type in Station Wagon in the search block. one example

Hmmm, with just a little loan,
Any way this is a cool one to look at!

Oh yeah, I was gonna try and remember the Birthday yesterday I did at least give you a bump then

Hey, thats a pretty decent lookin old ford if it wasnt so far away.
4200 sounds cheap for what it looks to be, That site says its Internets most popular old car site but I never heard of it, not that, that means anything

 

Today I went and hooked up a temporary gas tank suspended from the hood. installed a battery and filed the points. and it fired right up. I started it up on chain saw gas. it ran excellent. Then I power washed it. I got it listed on the Facebook Marketplace. A guy is on his way to look at it. However nothing is sold until you have the cash and its loaded up and leaving.

 

I did not sell the wagon. however I did sell a 351 Cleveland engine and FMX trans.

 

I have nothing to add, except to wish Bruce a Happy Belated Birthday

 

I found a 1961 Buick station wagon 4 hours away.I have to see if the guy will come down a little in price before I travel that far.Bruce.

 

51 bird, Yes I did thanks. Bruce.

 

Belatedly, happy b day.
Another 365 on this side of the dirt is always a good thing!

 

What was the cause?

51 BIRD, wrong radiator cap, timing off and need hi test gas.Bruce.

 

Happy Birthday Bruce. My good friend, and HAMB'er {oh henry} on here, is selling his 57 Chevy wagon.It would make you a great Birthday present. lol I'm not sure what he's needing for it. But it could be a good investment, plus maybe a daily driver too? You could send him a P.M.? I do know of some cool 50's wagons, that are very cheap. But they do need a lot of work. It's gonna be a challenge to find a driver in your price range. If you don't have the time to invest in finding the parts, or if you don't do a 100 percent of the work. You would proabaly save money on a finished car. {just me saying?} But hay Bruce, we won't stop looking. Your wagon is out there somewhere. So if you have the patience and wait, we'll find it. The FUN is in the HUNT! Ron....

 

You're Welcome

 

Cool wagon, Ron. I like how he removed the rear bumper guards.

 

Bruce, I'm sure someone has said this before...but if you're getting up on age like a few around here, consider the "no-rust" projects first. Old Wolf seems like a straight shooter, he'd tell you what you need...and it runs to boot.

Putting in a new engine, ect is the easy part...spending your life on patch panels, etc, is a long and dirty process.

In my younger days it was fun, now it's work...work that I don't get paid for.

Complete and minimal cancer should be your top priority to get the least amount of headache in your future.

Good luck!

Probably more project than you would like to tackle but its pretty cool.

 

That car has no title. That just dropped the price by half at least.

 

I am still looking for that right station wagon.Bruce.

 

Here is one not to far away https://asheville.craigslist.org/cto/d/asheville-1958-chevy-yoeman-wagon/6952193409.html

 

Bruce, first thanks for letting me join HAMBS! I am a huge wagon fan, I used to have a 77 Vega GT wagon, Silver metallic with red/houndstooth interior and a small block V8. She was a sweet ride. I had some murals on the side windows to make it look like a sedan delivery, and being a born again Christian man they said "JESUS IS LORD" and on the back it said "GLORYLAND EXPRESS". And now I am a preacher! I am currently living in a nursing home because I was thrown out of the house I was living in because the people who I used to live with told the hospital that they couldn't take care of me anymore and that I would have to find a new place to live. Suddenly I was homeless and had it not been for Medicare and Medicaid I would be on the street, but Praise God He does take care of His Own. I now have a collection of diecast cars and plastic models, but my love of cars will go with me to heaven!
