Here are some Old Bones '34 3W pics and info to check out
Hello Barners, thought I would share some info on a car that arrived this week. This coupe has never been restored or apart, a real time capsule.
Here are some features I have never seen before: * ownership history to new * same owner for 46 years * original tools and bag in the rumble compartment * tack strip never touched * all soft goods are original, yes, they are kind of a mess, but a great conversation piece * opening the glove box to see the untouched woodgraining * original drive train, motor was rebuilt in 1974, with receipts! * starts right up and runs great Enjoy, and ask any questions you may have, and if you need a photo of something let me know. |

After market (street rod) roof insert stands out like like a sore thumb. Other than that, super survivor.

Beautiful history in the wear on this car.
Thank goodness they ignored the instructions from Julianos top roof insert to place the hidem strip on the roof and pop rivet it to the roof beyond the tack strip. At least they had the sense to fit it to where the tack strip is. |

Truly awesome. I also love the wood grain on the inside of the glove box door. Incredible.

Thanks for the comment, just have to patch the 82 year old muffler and drive it. Taking this Saturday to cars and coffee, should be fun.

Wow!! What a phenomenal find! I would make it a safe reliable driver and keep it exactly like it is now. A full restoration on that beautiful survivor would be a real pitty.

Curious, how does one find such a gem? Luck, feelers, a scout, a service? That car is just perfect in my opinion. Great find and I agree with your plans.

Jealousy is a terrible thing. What a wonderful car. Is the radiator cap correct? - It doesn't look right to me....

No that cap is not correct, and missing the round rear end floor cover, and has cast iron heads put on when rebuilt in 1974.
