auburnseeker Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 What were they thinking or not thinking? . Did anyone step back and look at this when they were putting it all together. Maybe that's what happens when you put a project car together from pieces (being from many different cars) in a small one car garage where you never get more than 5 feet away from it without running into the wall. Then you roll it out in the driveway and go umm, yeah, that didn't come out quite right. Maybe they were building the truck version of Johnny Cash's song one piece at a time?

capngrog Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 It's different, and I've seen worse. Since this is the AACA Forum and not the H.A.M.B., I would expect that most who browse this forum would not like it. Like, or dislike, it's O.K. with me.

cahartley Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 It'll probably wind up on ebay and sell for $25 K........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 It's called recycling, no parts were tossed out in the making of this vehicle plus now the owner has more garage space. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) It's already on ebay. Seems that's where everybody's almost finished mistakes end up. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1950-REO-SPEEDWAGON-2-DOOR-TRUCK-/262902412685?hash=item3d3634758d:g:SX0AAOSwCU1Yz2DO&vxp=mtr Edited March 21, 2017 by auburnseeker (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLynskey Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Seller says it is "rare". At least we have that to be thankful for! Proof of the fact that "rare" does not always translate to "valuable". Seller says it runs and stops but did not bother to remove it from the dollies he used to roll it out of the garage. I wouldn't count on driving it very far.

auburnseeker Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Wow I wonder if they used a broom or loose nap roller on the paint with very thick tar type mix? If they sprayed it they need to invest in something better than a pesticide sprayer or something finer than 10 grit sandpaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each his own. The responses so far remind me of someone buying a house next door to the respondents and they sit there critiquing the new neighbor's furniture, car they drive, and so on... Bottom line the vehicle made someone proud along the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
