Barn Find Rescue 1929 Whippet Coupe

What a gorgeous piece of history right there. Get it road worthy, clean, drivable, and as original as possible. Sweet little car.

Your little buddy is learning a lot from you that is good he will remember you when he grows old wonderful this world needs more people like you thanks

Ваши американские ретро и классические автомобили такие классные. Не то что наши советские автомобили, нечего красивого в них нет. Я лично мечтаю о такой машине.

YouTube needs a love button for stuff like this.

Nice find Mr. Johnathan keep the classics alive👍

That is a GREAT car! I'll bet it was a pretty snappy ride back in '29!

I agree - it's too cool to rat rod. Great barn find! Nice vid.

What a find. Whippet's are excellent cars. This one deserves restoration. Antique cars are like real estate: "They're not making them any more". I'm a Willys guy (Restorer) and I believe the engine is a Continental design built under license by Willys Overland. While extremely advanced for the time, the water jackets were extended to produce the famous "Go Devil" engine of WW2 fame. You have a treasure. The Elcar now has a Buddy.

Great find.I had a 1926 whippet delivery truck back in the early 90's.Lost it when business went bad.Sure do miss it.Nice to see you save it.

That's flipping gorgeous! I'd keep it original as I could.

My grandfather had a 29 Whippet. Thanks for sharing this with us. I have a 1930 Model A , but everyone has one of those.

Hi Kathy and Johnboy glad you too made it safe getting your car looks nice.

That a neat car. Years ago I new a woman who told me she drove a whippet across country with her I year old daughter. She was a great old gal. Her name was Nell.

I would love to find a Whippet. My grandpa always talked about his first car which was a Whippet he bought in Athens Tenn. for $65 dollars in 1937. I spent my childhood listening to countless stories about my grandpa , his brothers and all their Shenanigans while running around the dirtroads of Tenn. in his Whippet as a teenager. Sadly they always had the same ending about him choosing to sell his Whippet to help with supporting my great grandmother and his brothers and sisters after my great grandfathers passing in his early 40s from black lung disease. I am going to find one to tinker with myself hopefully.

A friend of mine had a Whippet. It was a good running, fun car. He sold it a few years back. Yours looks very solid... considering it's a 1929. I bet with a little tinkering, it could be running, and driving. Great find!

good to see the 6.0 in the truck working well good to have it now

Johnathan turned into Jay Leno so slowly we didn't even notice. :-) Very nice old car. Never heard of a Whippet before.

You are always full of surprises!

Cool car, keep her original as possible!

Awesome, Reminds me a lot of the 1929 ford pickup my dad had when I was little. Dad inherited it from his sisters husband ( Uncle John Wilkes) when he passed away. We use to ride it around on the farm and back through the woods to the country store that was a couple miles from our house. I can still here that chugga-chugga- chugga-chugga sound the engine made . Looking forward to the first start :-)
