Picked up a AR Roadster yesterday.
 

Car was pulled apart 10 years ago. The only item missing is the radiator shroud. I just happen to have one. All parts are clean and ready to finish.

Nice find! My sister in law is in Cobbs Creek...Around The Fence Road.

Congrats! have fun putting it together.

Re: Picked up a AR Roadster yesterday.
 

Those are such interesting cars as so much is different from later models. How low is your engine number? I helped a friend work on 4092 many years ago, His brake rods weren't adjustable, almost seemed like some of the parts were off of a prototype as even the bolts were different. You are lucky that it is so complete.

Good looking project.
A previous owner has trimmed the front motor mount. Will you put it back on? Or go with the yoke?
Congrats! Jeff

Re: Picked up a AR Roadster yesterday.
 

Flop I will see you there! I'm undecided on the motor mount but probably will put it back just because the car is so correct. 5# on the serial. I'm going Fence Road today.

Sounds like you will keep it original to the low number, it will be a fun project, these cars are so different, it must have been some busy days at Ford with all the changes they made by mid 28.

Can you you tell us the story of the car and how you came to own it.

Re: Picked up a AR Roadster yesterday.
 

Good move to put it back on. Sure glad my 28 never had them cut off.

You must really get around, because you sure find some good stuff.

Re: Picked up a AR Roadster yesterday.
 

May I ask the question? What is the difference with an AR Roadster.

Re: Picked up a AR Roadster yesterday.
 

Numerous things. Here are a few: brakes, light switch, clutch, foot pedals, ignition cable, fenders, splash aprons, wheels, lug nuts, bumpers, emergency brake, starter and starter switch, oil pan, radiator shroud. The truly knowlegeable AR guys can no doubt list many more features.

Re: Picked up a AR Roadster yesterday.
 

The AR that I was involved with even had a different cam shaft, it was visibly different with high lift cams. They are truly a different animal so to speak.

Re: Picked up a AR Roadster yesterday.
 

Easy. Those are the ones that Pirates drove around in. Arrr--gggh;)

Nice Roadster and it is going to a good home! Neat!

Re: Picked up a AR Roadster yesterday.
 

What an incredible car to start. Looks very straight and solid. Oh, if i could have had a start like that. Very jealous here!

Re: Picked up a AR Roadster yesterday.
 

Definitely rad! I'm expecting to see a build thread from you!

Re: Picked up a AR Roadster yesterday.
 

Congrats. Great find. Good luck with it!
