That should be some sort of criminal offense.... Goat abuse at the very least.

It'll be closer to the ground where it belongs after that shed falls on it.

Would this classify as a Rat Rod at the local cruise night?

I could've sworn that was posted on here last week - but with less info and a Ford engine. Has it changed hands?

It was posted on the Epic Craigslist thread. The ad was the same as I recall it.

I would disagree on your post. Up high off the ground probably kept the basic body in somewhat decent shape. Down in the mud, not even a HOG would go near the thing.

Now the Barn falling down could happen at any time, even with a 70,000 resto car parked next to it.

So the deal is for $1800 how much GOOD Metal is there to bring the car back as a decent driver and is it even worth trying. There are probably still really nice Le Mans and Tempests out there that old people have in their garages. Just have to find them.

Actually, I think the thing would be worth more pulled off the 4X4 setup and sold separately with the supposedly clean convert frame mentioned in the ad. It actually LOOKS relatively solid..but who knows without looking up close.

But for $1800, how could you go wrong?

Putting it on the 4x4 set-up was pure Gomer. But been done many times.

I have seen floorboards where you could drop a 400 lb lady thru the hole and her skin would never touch metal. You have to walk away from most of those.

I think the 400lb lady would object to that.

My question is: Is the barn holding the car down, or is the car holding the barn up?
