Barn Find Non Supercar

[bad1racing]

This car has been in a barn for the last 26yrs.My wife works with the daughter of the previous owner.We have known about it for about 6months.After letting other cars slip through my fingers this one wasn't going to.The wife wanted to know why I had to spoil X-mas as she was going to get it for me.I asked why it was for me as she is the one who is excited about it.Don't get me wrong so am I.So here are some pictures.
As found in the barn.



And the massive powerplant.

First time out of the barn in 26yrs.


Extras that went with it.

Finally home.

I have more pictures but thought this was enough.
Wife wants a Rat-Rod. Looks like we have a start for one.

Way -way !! Am a big fan of the "early" cars too. What are your plans for it. Always good when the little Mrs. is excited about the car too !

Yea about 4-5in. out of the top.

That lady's a keeper.

Although I think I would have to restore the car. Maybe with a little,............... OK a LOT of elbow grease that paint might snap right back!

And if that doesn't work out, there's always this route.............

Rob,Know of any good driver's?
Ya know if I keep collecting cars like this I'm gonna run out of room to put them.Maybe Cumby has some room.LoL!!
The motor is still free so I think I'm gonna try to fire it up for a few laps around the back field.Should be a riot as no seat belts,and mechanical brakes .

Hey CL!!!

Is that a '28?.

If you rod it, be careful how much you cut out of the top...sedans can get that too low look pretty easy compared to what may look good on a coupe..
