Plyroadking Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Bought the Dodge a couple weeks ago, had been sitting since the 80's. The international had been sitting for "a couple" years, took half a day to get it out of the yard and on the trailer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Huston Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) This past week I drove from Sacramento to Salt Lake City. When I passed through Elko, Nevada I stopped at a friends home, the first time I had been to his house, he was not home, however, found this International flatbed truck sitting out behind his house. I did not know he had the truck and noticed it apparently was used by a building company in Elko at some time in the past. I don't know what the 1920s sedan body came from that is sitting on the back of the International flatbed.

nzcarnerd Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I took this one in 1980. Not exactly abandoned, just had nothing done with it in a while. I know the owner at the time passed away quite a few years ago but as the plate is still 'live' I assume the family still has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the 1920s sedan body came from that is sitting on the back of the International flatbed. Snow and no rust. That's just not fair. Obviously not the North east. That sedan body wouldn't exist and that IH would have been patched so many times to look like it does or else crumbled down to the earth and ready to collapse if moved.

Joe in Canada Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I found this 66 Biscayne in New Mexico in 07 and had to have it. The fender markings were gone but the original motor that we got running was still in it. Now restored and running the roads in Nova Scotia with a new owner.

JACK M Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 This poor thing has been on CL for at least a year and probably longer. It happened to be for sale across from me at the Portland swap meet. The guy must not want to sell it as he is holding out for a buyer that appreciates it. Claims only rust is the floors (which are gone), but there is much more than that. The old guys nephew or whoever that brought it offered it to me for a bit less but not much. I commented that he just hauled it a few hundred miles and paid for his space just for the fun of it. https://portland.craigslist.org/grg/cto/6076875435.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victorialynn2 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 This is one of many true barn finds I found personally. As in, my father forgot he had them, I didn't know he had them, and I found them when I came to check up on him. This particular one was in a building I didn't find out he owned until weeks after I found out about the first building. I also eventually found a brand new in a box top and side curtains plus really nice interior seats. The body is in nice condition. He redid the engine and started a restoration in the late 70's or early 80's, shipped it to Texas when he moved and it's been sitting since. 1948 Willy's Jeepster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trimacar Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Those of you who know me know this story, but I'll tell it again. About 10 years ago, a fellow I worked with came up to me and said hey, did you see the two Pierce Arrows for sale in the local sell/trade magazine? Nope, but I quickly looked it up, called the fellow, an hour away from me. Drove off Interstate on to a State Highway, then to a secondary road, then an improved gravel road, then a dirt road, and at the very end of the dirt road saw the front of the Pierce sticking out the shed. It had been parked there in 1952. It was a 1936 eight Club Sedan. There was another one in the field behind the farmer's house, too far gone but I had to buy it too. It was a 1934 836. The 1934 was sold to a company in Argentina who repurposes such cars into race cars. The 1936, jacked the car up, got the wheels off, cleaned them and painted,and new tires to be able to drag out of the shed. A friend and his father took the car, and within a week had it running and driving nice as you please. Only thing I'd do different is probably buy blackwalls for it! I drove it on to the Hershey flea market, with one woman commenting "wow, that sure doesn't LOOK like it should run".....and sold it. It changed hands a couple of times, and now resides in a friend's garage in Louisiana. Best shed find for me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PalmBeachCustoms Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Found this really Rare 69 R-Code Mustang a few months back - it's an original without the engine and trans. Amazing what you can find out there if you go look!
