Everything but the REO is for grabs, I wanted to buy that REO on the spot the cab has NO rot at all, but he won't part with it, I can't use anything older than a 47 for fenderless so not much there for me, the COE needs doors, a fender and some possible rocker work though I'm gonna go back to check it out, I love the GIANT ford it'd be sweet slammed with a mustang II

You would want the only one that's not for sale. Cool find though.

 

[Neverdone]

I want the COE!!!! Really bad!!!!

I want the COE!!!! Really bad!!!!

I'm gonna go look at the COE again, if the rockers are good I might take it..

Awesome find man. That REO is AWESOME!! to bad he wont part with it but you know everything has a price. LOL

Did he have any mid 40's GM trucks? I still need a dash and such. LOL

The reason he won't part wit the REO is he has a REI fire truck he uses in parades same year and all, so he's keeping it just in case

There was some GM but mostly 50's or oddball like that old delivery truck, keep in mind he's got 70 acres of 20's-50's tractor parts lol

Well that makes sense why he wants to keep it then.

I dont know if a tractor will have the same dash LOL

Lol what I was getting at was that I only spent an hour there, just walking along one path, there's so much more there

I dig that COE as well... so many cool rats come from COEs...

 

[XtremeS10]

So the more I keep looking at it the more and more I'm wanting to go save that COE... is there any point at which there is no return for it? I think the cab is solid but the rockers are possibly gone, as you can see its missing a fender, some glass, and the doors are really bad, what all should I look at when I go back? I also like that 2 ton ford... It would be one bad ass bagged full fender truck.... no bed with just the semi truck style wheel covers... damn I am really considering doing a full fender rat for my first go

That REO and Coe are very cool. Hope you get the Coe.

Trivia time. The initials REO stand for??????? Not going to catch any of you on this but thought I'd throw it in.

 

[Sam_Fear]

That delivery is too cool!

 

[CORPO]

the coe is what I would snag... definitely scope out the grill on it.. those bring a pretty penny.. the fender might take you some hard searching to find... and be pricey when you do find it

The delivery truck is pretty sweet too.. look awesome layed out on the ground..

I found repop fiberglass fenders but I really want dented ratty ones, I want a zombie crusher if I go this way, I love how the whole truck looks

 

[XtremeS10]

Well stopped back to look, the cab is just gone, the only thing holding the front of the cab to the rear is the roof no floor and rockers don't exist any more

Ransom Eli Olds - of Oldsmobile fame as well. I googled it

Love the COE and that big Ford would be my choice.

REO Speed Wagon is a pickup, that's where the band got their name
