Who knows. A real nice old guy though. He had lived in the place for 50 years and now it's going away. It was a little traumatic for him.
At least he's walking away with a pile of cash.  |

I have a brother in Seattle... I'll just buy a one-way plane ticket, and drive the car home. What could go wrong?

The '28 and 29 Ford roadster trucks are one of the most coveted vehicles to build a street rod out of. Mega cool factor. The streety rod guys will be performing a circle jerk over that one...

Watch what you wish. When you get down to one, then you have to be careful.
I already used up my left kidney.

I had an XK-120 Roadster, with a Ford 390/T-10 4 speed... poor man's Cobra, aluminum British sports car body, and Ford big-block muscle..
They are right, that roadster pickup is going to fetch a LOT of $$$ from either a restorer, or a hot rodder.
I wouldn't mind getting a hold of either of the cars, but I already know they are going to sell for way more than I can afford.

Hey, Joe!
My stepfather has the same car sitting in their garage. About the same condition as that one. Black as well.  |

I'm pretty sure no. He's got his hands full building a Model A which is why this is so crazy. Maybe he has a long lost twin...  |

Being you could buy six or seven Model A's for the price of that Jag, I would go for the Jag. |

Many years ago in the early 60's the shop I was working in did a strip and paint on a mid 50's Jag in Red Lacqure hand rubbed around 30 coats. It was plush inside wood and leather. That was the first and only time I have ever worked on a alum body. We were lucky the body was perfect.

Forget the Jag,, load up that Ford. At least the Ford is fixable and parts are readily available. I guess I am partial to Fords.
