UP FOR AUCTION IS A TRUE BARN FIND THAT I RAN ACROSS WHILE TAKING A WEEKEND OFF TO SITE SEE WITH MY WIFE WHILE WORKING IN SOUTHERN MONTANA A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. THE CAR BELONGED TO THE FAMILY I BOUGHT IT FROM GREAT GRAND FATHER. HE STILL USED IT TO BOUNCE AROUND THE RANCH UNTIL THE REAREND LOCKED UP AND A TRACTOR WAS USED TO DRAG IT INTO THE BARN UP UNTIL A FEW DAYS BEFORE I CAME ACROSS IT. THE FAMILY SAID THAT GREAT GRAND DAD WOULD NOT PART WITH IT WHILE HE WAS LIVING AND THEY WANTED TO RESTORE BUT THE COST WOULD BE TO HIGH SO THEY HOOKED THE TRACTOR TO IT AND DRUG IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WROTE FOR SALE ON A PIECE OF CARD BOARD AND STUCK IT TO THE GRILLE. I ALMOST CRASHED WHEN I SAW IT. I PURCHASED THE CAR ON SITE ,RENTED A TRAILER AND BROUGHT HER HOME TO GEORGIA AND CLEANED HER UP A LITTLE BUT I LEFT GRAND DADS LUCKY STRIKE CIGARETTE BUTS IN THE ASHTRAY. THE CAR IS EXTREMELY SOLID AND TOTALLY COMPLETE WITH ALMOST NO RUST THROUGH ANY WHERE INCLUDING THE FLOORS.THE PAINT WHAT IS LEFT WAS BLACK W/TEAL WHEELS AND THERE IS STILL A TRACE OF MATCHING TEAL PINSTRIPES.THE MOTOR AND DRIVE LINE ARE COMPLETE AND NOT LOCKED UP AND VERY CLEAN OIL WAS IN THE MOTOR WHEN I INSPECTED IT AND LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE RUNNING AGAIN WITH LITTLE WORK.ALL THE GLASS IS BROKEN THANKS TO THE HIS GRAND CHILDREN. THE FENDERS AND LOWER GRILLE WERE THE WORST THINGS ON THE CAR AND I HAVE BOUGHT VERY NICE FRONT FENDERS AND LEFT REAR. THE EXTRA HOOD GOES WITH THE CAR AND I PICKED IT UP CHEAP WHILE IN MONTANA EVEN THOUGH THE ONE ON THE CAR IS VERY USABLE, THESE PIECES WERE EXTREMELY STRAIT. A VERY GOOD PAINTED GRILLE GOES WITH CAR ALSO. MY PLANS ARE TO BUILD A GASSER STYLE HOT ROD AND I CANT BEAR TO CUT THIS CAR UP. THIS CAR WOULD RESTORE NICELY OR MAKE A FANTASTIC NOSTALGIA ROD. CAR HAS MONTANA TITLE.
