The Ford Barn

Bruce Compton, Canada · 10-18-2011, 09:56 PM

Something special for that guy that always want you to find him a nice but inexpensive Stromberg 97 at the next swap meet. This very complete large logo 97 is the ultimate challenge that will eliminate the weak of heart, leaving only Ken CT, Uncle Max and/or Charlie NY to attempt a restoration. Open to offers exceeding 25 cents (plus shipping). Cheers Fordbarners : Bruce

You can't polish a turd?-Weeks

Ho,Ho,Ho, Ive passed on better than that for 1 on a 15 cent tarp.That definatly came from the Titanic just recently. Good one. ken ct. That has to be about the worst one ive ever seen LOL.

Hey "WEEKS 46", you are incorrect, actually you can polish a turd. Myth Busters tried it out and actually got pretty amazing results.

I'm sure someone could use the base. I'd pick that up it is was it was on a tarp w/ other parts for cheap.

Hard to believe, but this carb was in a box along with three other very nice 97s and two really nice 81s. Go figure???. Bruce

My dad is a TV repairman. He has an awesome set of tools. He can fix it.

Now let's get serious,

I will offer $1.00 + postage. I'm gunning that base can be salvaged.

BrianCT · 10-20-2011, 08:28 AM

I'll go $1.50 + postage if you can keep the total under$20 to 06226.

Robert Dip · 10-20-2011, 09:08 AM

I'm in....this is better than a piece rescued from the Titanic....well, for us Ford guys anyway. Only in Canada can we find such treasures...sent pm......Robert

f1builder · 10-20-2011, 12:15 PM

at least $25 or more in salvage parts assuming it can be taken apart.

lonewolf · 10-20-2011, 07:57 PM

I will go 15 bucks plus shipping to MI

jim1932 · 10-20-2011, 08:49 PM

I think it should be mounted as a trophy of some kind. To the Fordbarner who makes the nicest car out of a junk heap. Or to the junkiest car driven to nationals.

Jeff/Illinois · 10-21-2011, 08:22 AM

They'll all look like that after a while, using ethanol gasoline!
