The Ford Barn

Wick · 02-14-2025, 04:46 PM

Last Friday this was posted on Craigslist for $6,500
No top or interior. Owner lived 5 hr.s away.
Lots of parts came with it and a folder of paperwork.
I found a new B.L upholstery kit in a box and top assembly and seats.
I've ordered a new top and wood this week
The deals are still out there.

Congratulations, a major bargain!

Drive train was rebuilt and all the parts were bought from 82-85 Stainless Steel Restoration ( Brattons)
Supplied a lot of the parts along with Pages. I have been wanting a nice 30/31 Phaeton for a long time.

Wick, I find a car a week but none come with garage space.

Dave Mellor NJ · 02-15-2025, 12:54 AM

That car was on AACA for sale. i think it might be the one started by a friend of mine here in Jersey. He died around 2010 and his son sold it. He had painted it Washington blue and was working on the interior, his name was Steve Rack. his son was trying to get 10 or 11 thousand

Wick · 02-15-2025, 05:34 AM

Different car and owner, came out of NY. Title is in my name.

ronn · 02-15-2025, 05:56 AM

Wick · 02-15-2025, 06:52 AM

That's it, now i know where ive seen this car before.
I have all the paperwork (1981) from the owner before Mr. Rack owned it, this allowed me to title it.
The car will be finished and enjoyed now.
Thank you Ron.
