mothboss Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hi all, Would anyone happen to know a rough bumper to bumper length and fender to fender width of a 1929 Franklin 130? I'm considering the car advertised below and need to make sure it will fit in my garage Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Braverman Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 This might be a better deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooklyn Beer Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 ask to see the vid of it running and driving. Something doesn't sound right at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odat Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I will try to measure mine tomorrow. The chrome and paint are worth the price of the better deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odat Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I get 185 long by 70 wide. With the rear mount spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothboss Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 Thank you odat for the dimensions; looks like it would be a fit! The one in Oregon looks like a really good deal, and thanks for sharing! I do not doubt that chrome and paint on a project car would put me above the 15k mark easily and quickly. Unfortunately that one is pretty far over my project car budget :-/ I'm planning on spending 5k or less for a car, which leaves me with a few k left to get started on a driver quality overhaul with lots of sweat equity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooklyn Beer Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Ask to hear it run, drive, and reverse. And listen closely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott in PA Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Mothboss, where are you located? I've got two Franklin projects in the $5000 range here in Pennsylvania. Good luck in your search regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothboss Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 The cars I am looking at are not runners, but you bring up a good point Brooklyn. There a chance some of these were parked for expensive reasons decades ago. Not being able to hear one run and drive is a risk for sure. Good news is I learned there is a whole lot to like about Franklins from your car search thread earlier this year Scott, I’m located in Gainesville Florida, what would you be interested in selling?
