Default Re: Have a thirties era Ford car (junker)

This is an interesting (?) post, Eric. You just join the Barn on Christmas day, you state you have a '30s era Ford and you're pretty sure it's a '36-'39, then you ask what year it is, then you're told by me and others it's a '46, then you "were pretty sure it is a '46" (?), then you talk about your uncle crashing the car into a tree in the '30s or early '40s (that would be before the car was built!), then you post a very demanding ad again stating it's a '30s era Ford, when you're now pretty sure it's a '46. What's with the '30s, when you now know it's a 'fourty-six, and the fact you were born about '70?, according to your profile. That "crash" probably didn't happen until in the '50s, '60s or later, as no one in there right mind would abandon a fairly new car, just after the war, because of vehicle shortages, after a very minor accident. Just wondering.
The car could be worth hundreds of dollars, IF you spent lots of time completely disassembling it, along with cleaning everything to be as presentable as possible, for sale and over a several month/year time frame. Been there/done that. By the looks of things (and your attitude), the car is in very bad shape, and you'll be lucky to find anybody that will want to mess with it (or you) for much, if any money. Sadly, it's probably worth more as scrap than what parting it out can bring. JMO.
