  1. "Price might be firm but I ain't too sure about the car"😁😁😁
  2. "You'd have to "dig really deep" to find a treasure like this" Not only in the dirt but in your pockets, too
  3. This is not your everyday "barn find" which is "buried" under boxes, crates, etc. On the contrary. This car was "buried" for many years and still has the original dirt on/in it (I did not want to wash it off - (probably because that's what's holding it together) Ran when parked Don't know the condition of the interior - (because I can't see it) Might need tires ????? This is/was like digging for treasure....... You will need to bring a trailer, shovel and a backhoe Probably can have it running in a couple of hours - (after spending days extricating it)😁😁😁😁
  4. If you look closely at the one picture (#2) it appears that there is some rust on the roof of the car (just above the rear window) and some peeling paint. The ad states that "poor storage" caused the damage. So that damage is consistent with the reason given
  5. "Make an offer! …. Had to put a price down for ad…." So puts a ridiculous price of $35K For that kind of money I would think you should get more than just the "restorable" Dataplate
  6. Mustang convertible barn find - $24,500 (Tilton Nh) ‹image 1 of 9› © craigslist - Map data © OpenStreetMap 249 main st near Mechanic 1968 1968 mustang convertable condition: good cylinders: 6 cylinders drive: rwd fuel: gas odometer: 40000 odometer broken odometer rolled over paint color: blue size: mid-size title status: missing transmission: automatic type: convertible Restored by ford mechanic then driven one summer and stored in a barn since 1995 (27 years in barn) it acquired a dent in left rear quarter panel while in the barn and a lot of dust.great condition just put on new tires today.Great easy project. do NOT contact me with unsolicited services or offers post id: 7604053597 posted: about 3 hours ago Not mine. Sitting 27 years 6 cylinder broken odometer NO TITLE BUT it has that "MAGIC (GARAGE FIND) DUST" hence the BIG $$$$ ask
  7. Throughout the years I have owned several 60-63 Comets (Falcons, too). They were neat little cars. This is a very clean car but does not command the $19K asking price. Maybe 1/2 that. Anyway, going by JD Powers market value is ridiculous. My friend owns a 60 Studebaker Lark 4-door wagon that JD Powers says is worth (Avg-$38,300 / High-$63,300) I know that Lark Wagon very well and there is NO WAY it would EVER sell anywhere near those 2 prices. Now, getting back to this Comet. The speedometer is stuck at 80 MPH. Unless the owner was driving 80 MPH when the picture was taken - highly unlikely Obvious tears in the seat Incorrect hubcaps Also, the valve cover is (as far as I remember) the incorrect color. It should either be yellow or blue. Why would that matter? What else may have been done to the engine or anything else? Not nitpicking BUT if this car was to EVER come close to the $19K asking price it would have to be 100% correct and absolutely PERFECT.... JUSY MY OPINION(S)
  8. Just to name a few things to do: Complete brake,fuel,ignition and cooling system overhaul - means renewing or replacing everything New tires/battery Drain engine oil / drop pan and clean it out Those are the BIG things. Then there will be other things that will nickel and dime you.
  9. If given a bath then the car wouldn't be coated in that "magic dust" which justifies the crazy price. No????
  10. Looks nice..... It looks like the rear bumper took a nasty shot (enough to bend it and throw it out of whack). Because of that the trunk lid would need to be looked at carefully, too. It appears to be misaligned.

  12. Things like this are contributing to the ruination of the "Hobby" - which seems like it is not (just a hobby) anymore...... It's more like a "business" now. Too bad
  13. If you want to replace this it is not that simple. It is a one piece molded item. Unfortunately, the steering wheel and the gear shift lever need to come off. Then the steering column collar bottom half needs to be removed and the steering column then needs to be dropped down some in order to gain the clearance to slide the rubber piece up and off the column. I have read that others have sliced the new piece on the top part, put it on the column (down by the floor) and then "patched" it where it was sliced. Doing that avoids removing the steering wheel, column shifter and collar. I may have an old one. I can look for it.
  14. All of the following is said in jest (but it is all true) See, I know myself all too well. If I go "look" at this car I WILL buy it. What's wrong with that you might ask?????? 1 - No room 2 - No time - already have several "projects" 3 - etc....... The problem is these things NEVER stopped me from getting another car before but I HAVE TO start fighting this "disease". I am getting to the point in life where having too many projects (which I already have) will result in none of them being completed. With that said, I do enjoy owning my cars and working on them (when time allows it) but I find "the hunt" and the "purchase" much more enjoyable (at least to me). Is that weird or ????????? So I am doing my best to ignore this car but the more I see it the more I want to go look at it. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!🤒🤒🤒🤒
  15. Steve, I am fighting the "demons" that say go look at it so please don't encourage me.......😁😁😁😁😈😈😈😈
  16. I saw this one last week when it first got listed and I was going to go look at it. It's about an hour from me. WHY you ask? Because I am a glutton for punishment. I don't need another project but the "disease" is strong. Luckily, for me, I did not go.
  17. Quick update. I stopped by 41WindsorHighlanders house this morning on my way home from work and we were able to get both rear drums off fairly easily using my drum puller. BTW - his car is really,really nice
