      Hey buddy I got a 1946 ford Tudor been sitting under a shed next to a barn in Arkansas since the early 70s atleast. Anyway I'm buying and trading to get the car. You want to come get it running? It drove where it's at. It's a flathead V8 was told its the first year they put it in them cars. I have pics if u want.

    My pops had one of these when I was growing up in the early 2000's, rebuilt the engine and got it running but ended up on the backburner and then sold. He was originally going to use it to haul his tractors to shows but age and injury caught up to him. Cool to see another one, that engine looks very clean compared to what we started with haha.

  • @ruben_balea
    @ruben_balea ปีที่แล้ว +17

    I'm not at all surprised that the engine started, but a starter motor without stuck brushes after so many years is impressive, most modern starters need at least a few "love taps" after not being used for a couple of years.
