cars u have saved

just want to say hey and see what other old cars everyone has saved. Im so excited bout the (new) to me car sitting in my yard after i pulled out the woods.I saved a 1966 fairlane 2dr hardtop, all the emblems paint needs some work and a whole lot of tlc.This is going to be so much fun riding her down the road. All i have to do first is drop this 360 in my truck after i finish putting this crossmember in my 1960 f250. Sorry gusy for the rambling ive been waiting along time for this fairlane and i cant get her off mind. but later guys going to get greasy

That's a pretty cool Fairlane you have....I always wanted one of those. My brother had a '66 Comet years ago that I really liked....

LOL!!! My '31 Plymouth coupe WAS saved from a river!! Pulled out of the local river back in the early 80's (the body only) by my brother in law. I bought it from him and built a hotrod. Been on the road since '88....

I like Walston's definition of "saved", but I'll limit mine to the ones I pulled from a junkyard, literally.
This one because it's cool, and mostly complete. I hated to see it there rotting. So I bought it.

This one because it had a 254 I6 and T98 transmission.

This one, well because it's an F1, lol.

This one was actually driven off of the junkyard lot. He used to carry around his torches in the back, and small plow on the front. He kept those, and I got the Bronco, only to have it shot up by someone.

And a couple days ago I got my parts Jeep for my IH project.

A couple others I have my eyes on are these two: (Not that I need more projects, but I like to at least keep tabs on their whereabouts)
