zeitgeist57 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Guy doing glasswork at my house last week has a hot rod project he's looking to unload, as he's breaking out on his own to start a company, needs a truck/van. We got to talking: GOOD: Former drag race car on '27 Ford frame TOTALLY NEW FRAME (old '27 was too rusted to save) - custom built '50s-era fiberglass body ('24 style) in OK shape - needs work Dropped front axle, transverse leaf spring with trailing radius arms F/R. '38 Ford "Banjo" rear axle - 3.79 rear gear '38 Ford front/rear drum brakes with 4 "wide-five" steelies New BFGoodrich repop whitewalls all 4 corners '65 283 V8 with tripower carbs, "Corvette" script finned valve covers '50s T-5 manual transmission Many new parts: Vega-style steering box Wilwood clutch/brake reservoir/pedal setup Hot Rod aluminum radiator set up for SBC Spun-aluminum fuel tank w/ brackets http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=786&pictureid=6658 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=786&pictureid=6659 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=786&pictureid=6661 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=786&pictureid=6660 http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=786&pictureid=6662 BAD: Engine needs rebuilt. Turns over but hasn't run in years. No driveshaft, exhaust. Fuel/brake/electrical lines all need done '27 Ford windshield frame, cracked glass No interior, body needs stiffening. NO TITLE. Bill of sale only 4x4 ride height Needs to be put together (is sitting on stands in his garage, needs sorted). I really would love to drive something like this but the time to finish it is definitely more than I can handle with all the other irons I have in my FIRE!!! He's looking to get $4,000 for it. PM me and I'll pass your contact info along to the owner... EDIT: He's also starting his own handyman business, so he's desperately looking for a reliable white panel van (Astro, Ford E-series, Chevy Express) as a partial/full trade...
