Yard sale finds
Posted: June 18, 2008, 9:40 am
Went to a few yard sales last weekend looking for a blower and pipe caps to use in a wood gas project. Ended up bringing home a few ford items.
Got a owners manual for a 65 slick and a factory parts catalog for 56 ford trucks. Picked up a couple of ford seat coushions like you carry to ball games from a retired employee from a ford plant.
I was dealing with a fellow about a pile of galvinized pipe , fittings & old hot water heaters he had and noticed a 62 fairlane setting out by his garden. Ended up buying it for $250 delivered.
The fairlane is a 4 door with a 170 & 3 on the tree but its complete and was a local car according to the dso code. Just for laffs I cleaned the ignition & carb up and hooked up a lawn mower gas tank to it.
It fired up and ran way better than expected went to the next step and drove it around the yard. No brakes and the rear anchor for the seat fell thru the floor but I did get to drive it.
