Since my Jaguar is claiming my only garage space at home undergoing head gasket surgery I have to get the '64 coupe out of the rain. I have some space at the shop to keep it and do the minor stuff in my 'spare time'. This is the car I paid $350 for. The plan is:
-front power discs
-stainless lines front to back
-replace rubber window seals all around
-keep manual steering
-duals with factory manifolds
-clean up engine bay and detail
Maybe I'll paint it down the road.

Forgive the shameless self promotion...that's my cement mixer sized blast room in the background.

 

Mr. NS: How fast did you jump on that "deal" for $350???? Reckon I will ever find a deal like that?

 

What a steal. Very nice.

 

Blast Room!! ugh. That's serious bragging rights.

Can you fit a mother in law in there?

 

Hmmm... I do have a burn off oven that gets to 900 F. I'll keep the teeth on file.

 

Hey, c'mon - didn't you notice his location?

I think mother-in-laws are a protected species in BC.

You'd get a visit from the game warden for sure.

I think I told the story in another thread but I came across the car through a buddy and fellow CO member. Underground stored for 20 yrs with 40k miles on it. It still had bias ply tires on it when I hauled it home. The wheels and tires on it in these pics are new. That is all I have done so far. Rust free, bucket seat interior in great shape.
This car proves that there are still deals to be had. I bought my rust free 65 wagon for $500 too. They're out there!
