The Ford Barn

Searching for parts for my 46 business coupe, and came across this sale...
And it's even fairly close!

Looks like it might be a good sale.

8BA carb in a can! Never knew that was how they came.

I looked through the pics and didn't notice a can big enough to contain an nos grill for my 39 pickup...

oldford2 · 05-05-2014, 04:59 PM

Unbelievable!!!
Looks like a lot of NOS parts will be on the market soon. How did this guy accumulate all this "stuff"?

Nice collection

Can you say hoarder, but in a good way. One person could never use all those parts in a life time. Wish I could go to it just to see how they sell the items plus pickup a few things for myself.

Sweet Jesus we've hit the jackpot!! reminds me of when my mate picked up something like over a thousand mid fifties Fairlane parts some NOS all LISTED on a sheet by the owner for $1500. And he in Perth Western Australia.. Pfft unbelievable !

Barry-ct · 05-05-2014, 06:55 PM

I'll bet he traveled around a bit and hit every Ford dealership around and asked about old obsolete parts. Most of the little dealers had a lot of stuff they wanted to toss and he bought the stuff dirt cheap! Back in the 40's-50's the dealers could not return parts to Ford. They bought it, they owned it. The obsolete parts return program did not start until the 60's. I had a chance to clean out a large barn in New Milford, Ct. with lots of late 50's and early 60's parts back in the 90's. Too bad I was broke. I did get a bunch of parts books though.
I'd go crazy in a place like that using my Ford parts skills to categorize it all. Talk about fun!

Andy69 · 05-05-2014, 07:22 PM

Dang. That's only an 8 hour drive from where I'll be working next week.

Might have to borrow Mrs69's van

flat-v8 · 05-05-2014, 07:31 PM

Wow! Just looking at those pictures is exciting, a time capsule! I like the Colt pistol's too!

If I could only talk my wife into, OH FORGET. what a great thought!

funrunr · 05-06-2014, 05:14 AM

What a collection, buy as much as you can and resell to us LOL. I wish I could go to that one. Have fun and tell us all about it. (take pics too)

FL&WVMIKE · 05-06-2014, 03:33 PM

It's hard to believe, but back in the 60s, when I was "picking" Ford dealers, I would have left about 90% of that stuff behind. I didn't have the storage and you could not give that stuff away. I just went for the "pretty" stuff.
Sure wish that I could go back !

barnfind08 has been curiously silent on this thread. I think he's on the hunt for this one.
