Boss picked this up along with two other 1093s era rat-rod dodge pickups out of a barn in Eagle, Wisconsin.This car hasnt run since the late 30s according to the original owner.Not a rusthole anywhere.Its truely something cool to see this thing upclose in such a restorable condition.Hes got it up for sale along with the two other pickups on Ebay.Heres some vids from two nights ago.

i came in this morning and his arm was all kinds of bruised up.He said he was under the influence :rolf. Im going to see if i can take it for a spin tomorrow.Amazingly the tires still held air, one blew the sidewall out when it was being loaded on the trailer.We threw the spare on it, and its now in drivable condition again :thumbsup

im unsure if the car is posted, but the two trucks are.He might not have listed the car yet, we spent some time cleaning it up and getting it ready for sale.I know hes been finding them in non running/driving shape for $8k+ so somewhere around there.I can get more info if you know somebody that might be interested.This car only has 55636 miles on it :eek:

heres the trucks on ebay

Tell him when carnking an old car with that handle, he needs to keep palm facing up and thumb open and away from handle. Those things will break your arm. Don't ask how I know this. There is a technique on crank use, and it's hard to master. A spring is supposed to release the crank so it won't spin like that.

I was told that back in the day they would jack up the ass end and spin the rear tire because it was safer!

the car starts up with the electric starter, he just wanted to try the crank to see if it would work.
