Thats a cool sled. You have got to be the luckiest son of a gun in the land. I would love to get into that barn!!!!! Would like to get that Ford shoebox. Hope you buy lottery tickets with luck like that man.

It's funny cause a lot of cars guys in the area know about this guys stuff. He's got a couple buildings and a bunch outside, everything is for sale. Kids got in and broke 75% of the glass in the barn witch is most likely the reason I got the Lincoln for decent price. It also needs some floor, rocker and quarter work. All the pot metal is shot but it's really not too bad for a driver witch is all I want. It's been sitting in that barn since '93 and hasn't been plated in Canada.
Yeah looks like there was some other projects to be had in that barn!! If I had money burning a hole in my pocket I'd be there in a second to check it out, but unfortunately I don't have that problem. Super cool you grabbed that Lincoln, it'll make for a great driver!
57 Lincoln Premiere about 15 minutes away from my place. No windshield but I got the back glass, quarter glass and a bunch of trim. I need to get back out there for a few more pieces it's too bad (for me) that 57's were so different.
The pot metal and stainless is much better than mine.
A lot of my stainless has sheet metal screws threw it
Thanks to Booboo, Mr COB and Uncle Terry for coming out and helping out.
Been puttin' in time here and there with Mr. COB and Tinworks
It is running now but we had to pump 24 volts into it to get it to turn over so she was probably close to seizing, the 368 is coming out. I've got 351 Cleveland paired to a C6 with 19 thousand miles on it just waiting to be dropped into something (thanks Pete) or it'll get a 429/C6 combo like the Edsel it all depends on cash, either way no transplant till the spring.
Windows are going up and down (well most of the way anyways) The electrical is a nightmare. I'm probably going to be on the hook for a harness.
I'll get rear floors in the new year and just patch the fronts
It's a bigger project than anticipated so I doubt it will be road ready next year but who knows.

Nah, the engine and trans in the Mach is a rebuild with performance parts. The original powertrain has never been appart, complete from carb to tranny.
That thing is going to be so cool when it's on the road. Big project man. Love those big Ford power plants. Remember there's no substitute for cubic inches. Any chance you want to sell that 32 grille shell hanging on the wall.

Hey Scruff sorry man I'd like to hang onto it for a while and I got a million reason to keep it but here's the three most important
Dreamin' of a chopped Model A 5 Window
My Dad actually is the one that did the buying so he could hang it in my garage.
It and the 34 grill were purchased from a friend's estate many years after he passed away
Also I agree no substitute for cubic inches!! Everyone else thinks I'm nuts for not just popping the Cleveland in the hole. I on the other hand am still thinking 429. It's just going to come down to cash and weather I have any come spring.
Have you decided on the replacement, gonna have to be the big one to tote all that iron around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still leaning towards a 429\c6 combo. It's going to be a longer project than first anticipated but that's because I really want to do it right. I'm going to ship it off for mounts\floors ockers.
