hitch Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I started with some pictures in the stories section. Since I now have the car, I'll start posting my progress in getting it in shape to be a reliable "stock" driver. Perhaps mods, once I've got everything working reliably. 1st look in the barn Its friends in the barn say good bye! sweet 51 ford also for sale, waving goodbye Awesome! 50 Buick straight 8 cyl. 1st look in the sunlight notice the funny B pillar vent placement on the fender :) loaded for the trip home The original owner was a 510 club member The car is from California, and driven to SC by the owner. I've got the original window sticker, owners manual, warranty book, sales literature, AC manual, and consumer info sheet. I love this shot of the white 4 door I'll scan the sales brochure and post better pictures if someone wants it I'll clean it up this weekend and post it all shined up! I'm so happy I have documentation and history on the car! I love reading old sales literature and manuals. I was looking for a 510 since I sold my 1st one 10 years ago. Not many unmolested examples in the Southeast, I was fortunate to have found it. Quote Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Whoa! Cool find. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Wow man, all the original documentation to go along with it! Very impressive find. Every penny well spent. Give her a good wash and inspection before you do too much. Almost too good to be true. I'd definitely be interested in some scans for sure. The old documentation is the coolest stuff to read through. Quote Link to comment

hitch Posted October 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 Great to meet you today. Get that trans into the car and start enjoying it. Keep the updates coming. David Thanks David, hope we can get together again in the future. Today, I replaced the battery, installed new battery cables, washed it and replaced the headlight relay. I know it is unbelievable, but the AC blows cold. Next major task, replace the trans and get it out on the road. Quote Link to comment
