Default Possible new project.
Needs some interior work, but supposedly a driver. Over 4 hours away and its hard to tell from the pics, but it looks pretty good... It is the more popular version of the '41 Ford, being what is called a "short" door coupe. Has SBC 350 w/400 trans. and clear title. Going Monday with a bucket full of cash and a trailer to see if I can swing a good deal....

This was my last '41 Ford, but it was a sedan.

Do you ever actually finish a project car? Genuinely curious. I wish I had the time and space you have for multiple projects.

Rarely.... I seem to enjoy the hunt and the wheeling and dealing the most. Then, either someone makes me a crazy offer that I cant refuse, or I just get bored with it. I have plenty of time, so I like having multiple projects going at once so I keep busy.

So far Im still enjoying the Gasser build and am pretty confident it will get finished. We'll see....

That would be a blast to play with

Same here, if I had more room I'd be stocked up with something like this and others.
Barely have room for the old GTO.

What's nice about stuff like this is it's super easy to work on (for the most part)

What part of FL is it in? I'd be happy to bring my trailer and go take a look for you

You wanna go take a look at it for me? Or...meet me there an we'll grab a cupajoe or something. Not sure about going Monday I have an early VA appointment. Probably be better for me to go on Tuesday so I can leave early in the morning. It's a little over 3 hour ride for me.

I will know in a few hours...Im heading out to Uhaul to pick up the trailer when the open at 8am. Then hit the road on a 3 hour trip. I will post pics either way. If you dont hear from me tonight call the cops....

Just to be sure it wasnt a scam and that he actually had the car, I called the seller and told him to put a cup on the hood and send me a photo. He said, Im drinking a bottle of water, Ill put it on it and take one. So at least I know the car is in his possession.
