The Ford Barn

keep an eye out for those wheels, not going to fit a 5 on 5.5" bolt pattern.

Barry B./ Ma. · 10-29-2011, 02:35 PM

The hole pattern should be the same but the inner hub depth is noticeably narrower.

Fred · 10-29-2011, 07:42 PM

AGAIN, as I said !! The big give away here is the "FRONT OPEN END BUMPER" If it has not been stripped down by now it would have to be one of the first 200 or so made with it, & it is not a replacement "T" bumper.. Also it is "NOT" an "AR" car.. NO such thing ever made..

The Bakersfield area is full of thieves. A friend has some containers and trailers loaded with cars and parts on his 20 acres in Tehachapi, CA about 25 minutes from Bakersfield. They stole flathead engines out of a trailer. They cut locks off containers and removed cars out of them.

Found intact only missing horn, spare tire, mirror. In a field out by Lamont. Back with the owner in a more secure area of town with his son. Thank you for all the help everyone. I am sure all the media exposure and people on the lookout scared the thieves into dumping the car. Got the message earlier tonight at our weekly sunday night coffee I got the details of the recovery. Sheriffs found it. Have a good night everyone and thank you again for all the help!-Weeks

I'd like to think that all the discussion on the barn might have played a small part in making folks aware of this. Very releived, and congrats to the law enforcement agency responsible! Most of all, I am happy for the owners. Well Done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm happy for the owners, but this is a very weird story.
