The Ford Barn

Hi everyone, I will be selling off a very large collection of (mostly) 1940 Ford parts that has been amassed over the past 50 years. My father is not doing well, and the proceeds will go to fund his long term care. While I am 43, I spent my childhood going to swap meets with him all over the country and buying many many parts. I would classify him as an organized hoarder, to put it mildly. While he has a Benny Bootle 1940 Ford Convertible (actually the very first car Benny ever sold to the public, as I understand it), a 1940 Ford Truck, and a 1940 Ford Coupe with less than 3500 original miles, these vehicles will be the last to sell as my focus will be on selling parts.

I will likely be listing these on Ebay as I believe that will yield the most value for my Mom. I may pop in with questions from time to time to clarify what certain pieces are. There is so much it's almost overwhelming. Here are a few pictures:
