      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.

    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.

Maybe a couple cubic inches more or less. I drove that car for 30 years in good weather, no winters though. Had the optional heater too!! lol. Funny how time just slips away. Willy Nelson. peace

    It is incredible watching this. It just blows my mind seeing a nearly 100 year old car all seized up and this guy just does the impossible and gets it running. Man that's cool. Also - I've seen he's got a Cuda from his other videos so he's got the best muscle car ever made as well so I can't fault him. I'd love to know what drivetrain he has in mind for the Cuda though if I was to be honest.
