Although it's not truck related, it is Ford related.

I found these two while cruising the IAA website for salvaged classics.

Wherever these cars were stored likey burned down taking the cars with the flames. They'd be great candidates for rat rods.

My body shop friend is currently working on getting access to the auctions so that he and I can start going there to buy salvage, whether they're classics or not.

By the way, some time ago, the same company had a 56 Ford that was wrecked up for auction.

I can`t get the link to work.
I don`t know if it`s just me or?

 

The links don't work for me either.

 

The ford Forum keeps adding http:// in front of the https:// when going to the links. If you remove that part the links will work.

I tried fixing them and putting them in my post but it does the same thing.

 

Nope, that didn't work for me, either.

 

Linkee no workee

 

Well, you also have to add the : in front of the https because it's removing that as well.

it should be; https:// then the www etc.

 

That is a shame, but since Ford used wood structure to support the body skins I'm surprise they haven't just collapsed into a pile of sheetmetal, especially the model A where the body panels were actually nailed not welded in place. I'd also expect the panels to be warped all to heck and softened from the heat. I know people that have tried working with fire annealed body panels, and they said it was like working with aluminum, you just looked at it and it would dent.

 

For the guys not able to to see the links here are the cars up for auction (linked from the auction company's website, these are direct links, not copied-the legal stuff):





The auction house is about 5-10 miles from my house. I wish I could go and check it out but I think it's only open to dealers. As AX said, I wonder what the wood framing is like, not to mention how warped the sheet metal is.

 

That'll polish out....

Doesn't help to store them outdoors, either. One of my first cars was burned from a fuel pump fire on the whole front end, which took all the paint off, and then it was left to sit outdoors in northern Illinois, the rust capital of the world. 90% of my work on that car was because of the rust, not the fire. Bare metal rusts fast and deep.

 

Late 1928, or 1929 Model A Tudor Sedan; 1935 Ford Model 48 Deluxe 5 Window Coupe. Deluxes have 2 horns, and 2 taillamps, standards have one.

 

drool drool and more drool ! what i would give for one of those pretties 1 ain't nothin' there that cant be fixed . i'll bet my neighbors would love me !!

 

That is a shame im sure if that where my cars and that happened to them im sure iw ould be upset and pissed

 

It would be nice to try to save them. ..........RUSTY

 

Axracer, check into becoming a dealer. Some states it's just a matter of a $$$ license. Some states if you sell 2-3 cars a year you can apply for a dealers license. You can be very innovative on buying and selling 2-3 junkers, etc. Have a great day, chuck
