  1. Huntington Wva. - Tried taking photos. The garages have very little lighting and pics don't turn out that great. Seeing everything there is with a camera is not capturing all of the pieces and parts we have. If you have iphone - I can do a facetime - but even that is a little dark, especially up in the attic space in 1 of the garages.
  2. We have 3 garages and a basement full of antique car parts. Fenders, firewalls, LOTS of chrome, electronic parts, flat head engine parts NOS, hub caps, fuel tanks, a 33-34 frame that has never been used. Boxes and boxes of parts that are wrapped up in factory paper. We don't have the time to try and sell piece by piece. It would take years and honestly we don't have the resources that dad did to move the inventory. We do have an idea of what fair prices are on some of the items, but there is too much stuff for us to try and identify piece by piece. We are looking for someone to purchase the entire lot of parts. Come take a look and give us an offer. If you already have a small parts business on the side, this will definitely be well worth your time to look at. I can tell you that in just original Ford fenders there is close to $6,000.00 worth of fenders. That does not include the complete set of fenders for a 1948 Mercury or the trunks lids for a 40 Ford, or the hoods for a 33-34 Ford. All of the pieces and parts were collected by 1 man and this is his private collection of parts that he acquired for his antique car collection. 440-476-0215
  3. We have a 1930 Dual mount complete with the factory original luggage rack and trunk. Convt.
  4. Well - here is what I can share. We have several antiques and hot rods for sale. Monthly I rotate them just to keep the interest up. We have been contacted by a few individuals who are buyers, not tire kickers, and they want to come and "look" at the cars they are interested in. To my knowledge, and I could be wrong, but no one drives over 500 miles just to "look" at a car. We have sold a couple right before this started and for us it seems buyers are still out there, it just takes the "right one". But I think that is how it has been for a while, at least that is what my father-in-law has told me for the last 10 years. "It only takes 1 and it is always the right 1". He could have sold his whole collection cheap, but chose to hold on to the cars because of "tire kickers and lowballers" as he called them even 20 years ago. SO - if he was seeing this 20 years ago, can it possibly get worse? He held on to 14 cars because of terrible offers, we sold 2 recently out of state that paid the prices he wrote down before he passed away.
  5. Well could not edit the ad place and price so starting over. 1940 Ford Deluxe Convertible in Huntington Wva. We are the 4th owners of this car and also the owners that did the restoration of the car. Every little detail to originality was adhered to including the jack, spare tire, tool kit, and Ford Gunny sack that is in the trunk of the car. NOS fenders and running boards were used in the restoration. The car won AACA National title in 1987. As you see from the photos, it still is just as clean and shinny today. We got it out a couple days ago to clean it up and see what it would look like. Photos speak for themselves. We have more photos, if needed. $57,000.00
  6. Ok. Just thought I'd check to see where you are with it.
  7. Understand if you are set on a 55, got a 56.
  8. A little history on the car. This is a late 60's, early 70's street rod conversion. 283 w/3 deuces was matted to a 4spd. transmission. The color of the car was a light purple when dad got it in the 70's. It was driven for a time then went under a "major" restoration. The car was completely stripped, sanded, and reassembled using all genuine Henry Ford steel. Every piece of chrome on the exterior is also genuine Henry Ford. The grill and a few other items, that were not chrome, were sent off to Dennis Carpenter to have them chromed. Once the car was reassembled, it began it's new life as a driven show car. It would spend the next 3 decades, 80's to 2007, being show all over the Tri-State area. It also saw shows in Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Indiana and Pennsylvania. Since the car was not stock it would never win the AACA National Title, but took several Best of Shows at AACA meets. It also won Hot Rod Magazine Best Rod in the Show award, 1983-84, and NSRA's Best Overall 1982-83. Several years it would win World of Wheels Best of the Show award including the last time it was shown in 2007. In the late 90's the car was once again completely stripped down, sanded and repainted. The sign in the pictures is what he finally decided to call the car after his 2nd ground up restoration. After 2007 it was placed into semi-retirement and was only brought out a few times a year until 2018 when it was just parked in the garage and started every once in a while. Asking $50k
  9. We have a few 30's and 40's Fords for sale. All are in good to excellent condition. 2 are modified 3 are originals.
