You have to think that if there are barn finds of all kinds that still show up today, not all of them are going to just be regular driver cars. What I mean by this is that some of them have to be hot rods too, right? I realize that you’d think most of the hot rods would keep being passed along, but I know I’ve got projects that haven’t seen the light of day in 10 years, so it is conceivable that this same thing could happen to other folks hot rods and that we’ll have barn find hot rods too. And that is exactly what happened with this 1938 Ford Convertible. It hasn’t been on the road since 1973 and is a hot rod that had an engine swap and more.
Check out the whole save as the IronTrap gang pulls it out and takes a look at it for the first time in a half century!
Video Description:
The New England area seems to be our hot spot these last few weeks and this trip takes us to Upstate New York. The family sent us a few photos of this 38 Vert and a short video and we noticed the rear wheel is off, which could be bad. Overall the car looks very solid and was an old hot rod with a Pontiac engine and tuck and roll interior. First hurdle is to dig the car out of the dirt pile and figure out whats going on with the rear wheel. Let’s get to work and save this classic Early Ford!!
