Talk about a barn find! Wonder how much the owner wants. That car looks to be in very good shape.

Wow. That thing is so original I hope nobody buys it and makes a streetrod out of it. That is one that need to be preserved. I bet it ain't cheap. That is one of the best barn finds I have ever seen.

Says 6500 of cash offer. If I was closer I would snap it up. Then have to find a new place to live until my wife cooled down

Man I would love to have that car. It would be so cool restored with the correct wide whitewall on it. I would probably have to build a split manifold with a set of Smitty's on it and probably hydraulic brakes (of did it come with them) and other than that it would be a bone stocker. Of course it would make a great streetrod but I don't think I could do that. I must be getting old.

Thanks for the offer Russel. I can't even find the time to put the disk brakes on the front of my Cutlass. You are a good member to offer to go and look at the car. I love your car and admire you for being the father you must be to have that cute daughter in the picture with you. Always makes me feel good to see that.

Nice ride.

I live near Louisville and would be excited to see the car but would just be wasting the owners time. Already have a 39' in the barn waiting for me to start pouring time and money into. Looks like a nice one from the pics. I think that if a guy had the room, these solid old cars are better than money in the bank.
