Texas Barn Find · 1935 Ford 3W coupe sitting since 1958!!!
Published 2023-11-14
When he got there to check it out for the first time, he noticed right away it wasn't a 1934 but a 1935 Ford coupe... still interested in making a deal, Mike decides he has to have it. He's been wanting a 1935 Ford 3W for a long time. It was perfect timing. He just sold the #8balldeluxe Tub he built and it was headed to Japan!
So off to Texas we went to try and recover this hidden gem!
Mike's plans are to keep it relatively the same as found but cleaned up and we'll get to do a "Will it run" shortly in the future, so stay tuned!! Follow him on IG @hollowell_motor_co
Special thanks to our buddy Jason Brackeen for always including us! Follow Jason on IG @308_rod_shop
Another special thanks to Mrs. Wanell Smith for being there when we got the coupe freed from the barn and for selling it!

I wouldn't change that body at all! Clean it up, give it a fresh black paint job and if the engine can't be saved then drop in an original flat head V-8 and just drive the car! If the engine can be fixed then keep the car all original. No dumbass chopping and restorodding, just bring it back to it's former glory. There is already enough JUNK on the highways already. This car is just too cool to screw it all up.

I fell in love with her just seeing her sitting in the barn. What a treasure. Take good care of her.

Man, why couldn't I have friends like these guys!!! Literally pulled this beauty from a barn, cleaned it up, washed it up and reassembled just to take to a local car show. What a group of men!!

God Bless this Woman... She knows the history of the family car's and can tell the story.

My 1st car was a 1935 Ford 3 window coupe, I bought for $75. This was in In 1962, when I was 14. I worked all summer picking strawberries, beans, etc & mowing yards to earn $$, so I could buy it. The car was in pieces, so I had to spend several days putting it back together, just to drag it home. Enjoyed your video.

I hope you appreciate the whole process of hearing about the car, seeing the car, wanting the car, and negotiating to buy the car, then pulling out the car to see sunlight for the first time in over 50 years. To a car guy, it doesn't get any more cool than that! This is a once in a lifetime experience. Hope you cherish it, and 1 day get her roadworks again.

I love the styling of the 1935 and 1936 Ford coupes. Beautiful cars!
-
It's a great find and I like it that Mike wants to keep it relatively the same as found. The '35 has always been a hotrod from new. The car is built the same year as my mother was born, 88 years of age.
-
Awesome 35 glad you were able to get before the shed collapse on it. Nice to see you guys put everything back in the shed and put the wall back up ...now that's respect.
-
This coup can be worth $20k-$50 as we see it now, a real wanted car.
-
Thank goodness Bad Chad didn’t get hold of her! She would be cut to pieces…
-
always glad to see the old ones come back.make it pretty. please dont cut it up.

-
Cool ride ! That was fun to watch ,thx . Have fun with her .

I loved hearing Ms. Dorothy telling y'all about the history was fabulous, and loved hearing her Texas drawl, especially since I'm from Ft. Worth. My Grandad bought a bunch of trucks from Dub Shaw over about 40 years or so. Thanks for finding this beautiful old car!
-
In spite of my extreme jealousy , I like these guys. Looking forward to following the progress on this one.
-
