Very nice! Love the color - I don't think I've ever seen one that color.

Cant wait to get started. They are the second owners of the car, so the car has a clean title, and all the original knobs, mirrors, even the hubcaps!!

It doesn't look like it. The people selling it had a bunch of pictures, and took a couple of videos of it.

Wow - great links! Thanks - I love the art one!

I wish I could afford one but my favorites are american cars and here in Belgium... well there aren't nearly enough, they cost quite a lot and... and... and...
Ah f**k it, I'll go live in the US of A! Then I'll buy an old car, restore it with love, live the life I always wanted and...

Maybe I should go to sleep now.

Are you into Volvos or just big trucks. I was actually thinking about getting a 60's volvo to restore. I love volvos in general. We are on our third one - the SUV XC90.

I worked at a custom shop for a while, here's a pic of one of the last cars I helped work on....

1929 Model A came in as a mild rod, full fendered running a 283.
left on Deuce Rails with a built ZZ4 V8, partially recessed firewall, hidden front disc brakes, 3" chop, 32 grille shell, with a cut down '50 ford dash molded into the cab. My favorite.

Both. I love trucks since my childhood. There was an american tv-series in germany when I was about six years old, starring Claude Akins. Think the original title was "Movin´on". Since that time I love trucks... and yes, surely I got a truck driving license... What a Face
I would love to drive a Kenworth K100... thats my favourite!

And I own a Volvo too... its a ´03 V40 with Common Rail Diesel engine. Runs like hell.

No fenders in the first place...
But what a great hot rod!

Maan That paint is original, 81 years old and counting. Henry Ford probably put it there himself.

It'll be a shame to take it off.

I'm getting my licence this summer and want to do this sooo bad, but I know nothing about cars. Neutral A surf green classic car would be so nice.

be prepared to spend alot of money. If I had all the money I've thrown into classic cars just to keep them running, I could probably buy a small house.

That Model A was close to 100k if memory serves.

Hey Doesy,
Nice Kingswood! Ted Bullpit would be proud! haha!
I got a XT GT Falcon, XR Falcon sedan and a XR Falcon 500 Wagon that I wanna customize abit. The XT is mostly original except for a slightly bigger cam and Holley. The XR sedan has a 351C with a F260 cam, Holley Strip Dominator manifold, NOS 150Hp shot, tuned lengths, C4 with 3200 stall, 9" 4:11, and looks like gramps car with no chrome under the bay, steelies etc. But the closure of the dragstrip for the last 2 years means I'm in hurry to finish! The drve train and body is complete except for a diff centre and convertor, and assembly. The GT is gonna recieve a rebuild, 347W, F260 or similar cam, 4:11's etc, gonna keep it Top Loader, more fun!
Keepo the paint on the T, patina rules!
Cheers Pete.
