I saw this while surfing the net ... A long way to go and Customs issues ... might be convenient for one our Canadian brothers.

I don't find any '34 coupe at that link?

Probably sold shortly after posting. :| :| :|

Type "1934 ford" in the search box:

Probably thinks it's solid gold. <shrug>

Well, it is the super-rare front-wheel drive model.
-
A little further for you than most Canadians ... In fact the North Pole might be closer.
-
I'll bet it was a 4-barrel car too! (Note the battery box hacked into the driver's side - V8 starters are on the other side.)

Now that's getting toward the end of the earth, I wonder if he'd ship it? :-D

Well, depending on exactly where the body it in Nova Scotia, I found that, for us in British Columbia, it is about 3900 miles to Halifax, NS.... and "only" about 3700 miles from Los Angeles, CA... From New York City, it is about 900 miles to Halifax.....
I don't think there are actually big customs issues on the (probably re-)importation of a US built car body into the USA....unless one of the Border BOZOs makes it into one.... there is a deal regarding all North American built cars (as well as many foreign ones) that, under NAFTA - the North American Free Trade Agreement - exempting ALL vehicles that are over 15 years old from FEDERAL safety requirements.... I know that bringing vehicles north into Canada is only a matter of having paperwork in hand and pre-clearing the exportation of the vehicle with the US Customs - and paying our taxes up here too - but the last vehicle I brought in to Canada was an incomplete 20 year old Harley which, due to my being away for long enough to bring in a maximum tax/duty free exemption, I paid NO tax.... Your US Gov website should have links to the relevant US Customs websites for information on what you may need to know or have to do to import something like an old Ford car body.

Biggest pile of junk i have ever seen. They would need to pay me to take it then i would take it to the scrap yard and have it melted down.

Methinks you are correct about this....
However, I recall an article in Hotrod Magazine some 30 odd years ago about a deuce coupe built by "li'l" John Buttera..... he said to the effect the the car started out as the biggest piece of bleep he had ever seen..... so.... who knows?
-
You guys are spoilt for choice, that's about average condition down here and definitely repairable!!
Cheers,

Half the fun (fun?) is the repair, build and fabrication ... I am working on a Model A Coupe for 10 years that started out considerably worse. It isnt a race until you get to the salt flats.

The internet, steel and fiberglass repo stuff apparently have spoiled many. When I saw that pic I first thought someone found an old pic of my 34 when I found it in 1979. Same color with the same 6" missing off the bottom right side, firewall gone and cut back to the hood line. It was un chopped so I thought I found a peach (then I chopped It)
-
Thats a heck of a good find. VERY SAVEABLE. In case you forgot, Henry quit making them a few decades ago :roll:
-
Having a friend who, along with his now late father, were into the vintage and NOT the hotrod end of early iron, I know that anything that is in really good condition often gets snapped up by purists (vintage restorers) who, in this part of Canada, seem to have either huge bank balances or huge real estate backed lines of credit - or both!....
.....and we hotrodders would happily go and purchase brand new repro stuff at (,sometimes, much) lower prices......
-
Yeah, the stuff many of us have been working with was usually thought of as unsaveable by the restorer crowd. But, the fact is the restorers are dying off.

Only 111 miles from my house...too bad I'm not talented enough to tackle a project like that.
-
Wow. That's what we call Theft Recovery + Jewish Lightning + "Needs TLC".
-
Jewish Lightning?? That's a new one on me..

NS_Rider.... if you have an entrepreneurial streak, you could use some "Jewish Lightning" during the deal-making process and try and turn over a profit....
-

Yeah, that was not politically correct, sorry. It's arson to collect the insurance money, especially with businesses, but can apply to houses, cars, and boats as well. Horses "get sick", arson looks too suspicious.
-
That was a term used in New York for frequent suspicious fires in loft buildings when the owners were in financial difficulties.
-
Ok, now I'm with the program.
Down here it's more commonly termed a "Jewish stocktake" when referring to a business. Neither as you say are PC nowdays.
Cheers,

Coincidentally, I was within about 20 miles of that car just last Saturday night. Had I known about it then, I would have tried to convince "she who makes the decisions" to make the side trip to have a look. Although, after just having driven 44 hours from Colorado, we were quite anxious to get home. We are in Yarmouth, about 250 miles from Sherbrooke. Normally we would have taken the ferry from St. John, N.B. to Digby, N.S, but we missed it by 9 minutes, so decided to drive around, visiting friends in that area Saturday night before finishing the drive on Sunday. Of course, I would have to put about 8 bikes out in the weather to bring that in to work on it. And I really don't like bodywork as well as wrenching.
