M&M Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Hello I have a lady in Visalia California that has a 1927 Franklin in pieces no frame that needs to move it along out of an estate. She is asking 2000 for all if any interested I can pass your information along to her. Thank you for looking. M&M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 If someone hauls it away for free.......it’s a fantastic deal. It’s not even a parts car.........let it go so the parts can save others. There is NO money in what is left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
53 New Yorker Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 It always makes me sad to see when someone's "dreams" are left in a pile of parts.... At one time, this car was someone's dream project of restoring this car and enjoying it on the road... But it is just a pile of parts now. It should be given over to someone who could use the parts to keep their own car on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Just wish reality would set in before they tear it apart and not after. Oh well. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 A bunch of parts there that aren't Franklin. Including a model T rear end and I think accessory brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&M Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 So no takers I take it He had a Franklin he toured all over the country did tours I am assuming something happened to the frame of his car and he used the frame from this back in the day to keep his car going. Maybe Make an offer it can go to a good home and live on to help another Franklin see another day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frame on this car was probably wood so the body, drive train and running gear are all that is left. I’ve got a mid 20’s Essex coupe body and frame that was grafted onto a Franklin running gear and power train. The wooden frame must have not aged very well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
