|
|
I've taken a few liberties and had a little fun with some of the mods I have incorporated into my '36 coupe. I've done nothing that could not be quite easily reversed by some future owner who would want to take her back to "stock" but I've throroughly enjoyed the changes.
I own several other classics, but this is the one that gives me the biggest "kick in the pants" to drive around town.



Click on the link and you will see (and hear) her starting up and running in the alley...I hope...Enjoy, Denverslim

Maybe jus let me know when the jig is up and I'll take out a little more insurance.
And muzzle ole Rex, the bad-natured pitbull that lives in the garage...lol.
If we do this right, I could maybe pick-up a good stepdown Hornet? Maybe?
The one that ole Jason is selling would probably fill the space quite handily...slim

Yeah, must be the car.
So keep an eye out for an exhaust mani for this ole baby, will ya, Amigo?
I split the one that came with it and I've been looking for an extra.
Oh, and if you ever come across a set of the old accessory horns that bolt to the headlamps, I'd be obliged, too.
I'm still looking for that deal on a 51-53 Hornet coupe. (Me and half the babyboomer population)...slim

My wife and I are finding the need to sell this '36 coupe. (We are relocating and will not have the space to keep her)
I am asking 16K firm, and I can be contacted for more info at keithnwood @ msn.com.
This car will be advertised for sale in upcoming issues of WTN and other classic car publications.
It is located in Denver, Co. USA

| I have obtained storage for the car and have decided to keep it for the time being. Thanks to all who have shown some interest and I sincerely hope I have not caused any problems for my changing of mind. I may see a need to attempt to sell again in the future...slim

Darn I had just counted out the pennies I keep in mason jars at the bottom of the yard and was coming down to get her.
Oh well at least you are keeping her which is great news.
