Re: Drakes 40 coupe old vs new?
Just to prove the point I looked on the hamb classifieds - cars for sale - searched 1940 ford.
In the first 4 pages there are 3 coupes and a ton of sedans. On the classifieds here I found two or three also. And why do you sound like I owe you a link to good buys? The last time I turned someone on to a good deal I didn’t get so much as a thank you let alone a pease of the 200.000 profit he made …. You sound just like him. |

----------------------------------------------------------------------- WOW, he made 200,000 profit, and didn't kiss you. I'm well aware of whats been listed 'for sale' on the popular sites, and '40 pickups, sedans, and butchered up bondo buggys are hardly comparable. Of the couple of coupes that were listed, that I have inquired about, one was sold right away, and the other I'm still waiting to hear back from, about the condition. Some of these sellers are just phishing the market, and not pricing them to sell. There are not many fairly solid good buys out there anymore, and supply and demand should make Drakes '40 worth checking out. .

Re: Drakes 40 coupe old vs new?
i asked this before and over on the HAMB about the way the quarter meets the drip rail and the roof. the original had a flange on the quarter and the roof with the drip rail sandwitch between and spot welded. is this the same way on the drake body ? the partial body i saw at hershey last fall wasnt made that way and tacked in a couple place to hold it up for display. was that just a proto-display piece ?

Re: Drakes 40 coupe old vs new?
purchashing newly stamped metal is better than taking an old piece of metal and reshaping..... some people love the challenge....a friend of mine bought a coupe a a wrecking yard one time just to do that....he gave 2500. for it...

Re: Drakes 40 coupe old vs new?
How about reproducing the Zephyr 3-window coupes? They're pretty, rare, and it would have saved me a whole lot of aggravation!

Re: Drakes 40 coupe old vs new?
Hey CBoz , I would be happy if Bob or D.C. would just repop some of the much needed parts for the early Zephyrs. Starting with ignition parts, like rotors and caps for the distributors. Rubber parts would be nice also.
