Re: Help with turning over flathead on 1940 Ford Convertible

I would try to put it in gear and rock it. But the driver side rear tire is stuck. I think the brakes are probably rusted to the drum.

Re: Help with turning over flathead on 1940 Ford Convertible

I'm in Northwest Ohio. The Radiator must have been changed because it does not have a hole to put a tool in there.

Help with turning over flathead on 1940 Ford Convertible

It's been about 15 years since I know the engine was turned over, so I've been spraying PB blaster down the spark plug holes for weeks. But I got the car out of the barn today and washed it off as...

Re: Barn find 1940 ford conv. Value

I wonder how much they charge to run it thru their auctions, what maybe 10-15%? And I wonder if that is with the fees included or the buyer had to pay a buyer's premium afterwards? I've thought...

Re: Barn find 1940 ford conv. Value

Re: Barn find 1940 ford conv. Value

Oh and someone mentioned why was the grille taken out?

When I was like 12 or 13, I took it out and hung it on the wall of my room. I thought it looked neat. So hopefully that explains that. :)

Re: Barn find 1940 ford conv. Value

I know you can never say 100% for sure, but this is what I know on the body condition.

I know Dad painted it Red back in the late 50's, or 60's, right when he got it, and right before he became a...

Re: Barn find 1940 ford conv. Value

You know, I think I will pull the car out, wash it really well (It hasn't been washed since the mid 90's), clean out all the crap in the trunk and interior and get you guys some better pics of...

Re: Barn find 1940 ford conv. Value
