Ran when parked, just needs paint. Lol

"runs and drives" Ha ha. the 37-9 w/s frame is an excellent touch, maybe the rat rodders will swarm to it.

You have to admit it does have a '40 standard grille!

donald1950 · 09-26-2017, 07:22 PM

like the way the rear fenders are attached with screws or rivets.....

Paul Bennett · 09-26-2017, 10:03 PM

Enlighten me please. What is the funny part? It looks like a thousand other cars in varying stage of completeness all of which are offered at a to be negotiated price.

RalphM · 09-26-2017, 10:49 PM

I believe he's refering to the "Professhunally" installed body panels! In that case I was a Professhunal at age 16, because I did my 55 Ford floorboards the same way, only I covered them up with carpet so no one could see.

Seriously? Go back and check out the photos carefully and then compare them to the description.

Fibber Mcgee · 09-27-2017, 08:01 AM

It's still alot cheaper than this. Search this number on ebay 391784692771

sidevalve8ba · 09-27-2017, 08:44 AM

Kube, you just find all the bargains!

itslow · 09-27-2017, 10:05 AM

I find the description to be pretty typical; nowhere near the "funniest" in a long time.

I did, however, recently run across an eBay auction for a pair of well-used Nova fenders that were listed as "previously NOS" (or some such wording). That made me laugh.

"previously NOS"... yep, that's right up there...

waterboychuck · 09-27-2017, 04:49 PM

I'm not that up on 40's but doesn't a standard have only one tail ligh?

Ol' Ron · 09-27-2017, 05:58 PM

Having spent time and money on several rebuilds, I consider this a pretty good deal. Depending on the Extra?? Parts. YOu don't get much for 13 grand these days, another 10 and you'll have a 40K 40 coupe.

rotorwrench · 09-27-2017, 06:01 PM

I don't mind a person using a rivet or two to hold stuff in place for tack welding but a person has to weld all 500 of those little holes up too. It's kind of a waist of good rivets if you like to use the pop rivets that is. It looked like there were quite a few pin holes in the floor. It's hard to see how bad it is. I've seen a lot of classic home remedies to the car cancer problems. There is still a hell of a lot of work to do on that old flivver but folks do love those coupes. Someone might even give him his price for it. Maybe an old Idaho spud farmer that need a winter project?

You can find a much better project for $13,000. This car is basically race car material. .anyone else notice the missing drip rail?

woodiewagon46 · 09-27-2017, 06:15 PM

At best a parts car. Fenders look ok, but who knows what's under the primer. $13,000 not a chance, $1300 might even be too high.
