Another shed story.

[H4ZE]

It was one of those famous shed finds that you hear about and wonder if the person behind the story was full of it. But I experienced it with my own eyes.
I came across this find after visiting a farm in the area that I grew up in. The old bloke started with the "You like yer old cars, don't ya? Come and have a look at what I've got up in me shed. I reckon it'll be right up yer alley." I wasn't sure what to expect- I didnt ask what sort of car it was in case I fainted before getting to see it. Please be a Ford, I silently begged... Or at least something special from the Holden or Mopar stable.
The shed was like any other- rusty corrugated iron, holes in the roof. Surely anything kept in this tomb would look as bad as this shed. The heart sank a bit.
Then he threw open the door. I was speechless.
It was covered by half a dozen blankets, but the back rear corner was uncovered, revealing a big, round red 'rocket booster' tail light. And If I couldn't tell what make and model of car it was, the sheer size of it would have given it away.
A one-owner 1960 Ford Fairlane 500. More affectionately known as a 'Tank' Fairlane.
"Go on, mate- pull the covers off" was the instruction- I had the first two off before he had finished his sentence.
Beautiful... Imaculate... sprang to mind. and when I ran a shirt sleeve over one of the door windows, the interior echoed the same thoughts. No rips or tears, nothing faded, Almost looked as if no one had ever sat in it. The only worry I had was when I flipped the bonnet forward, and found the radiator missing. "It's in the boot." was the reply. Apparently it runs like a Swiss watch, and I believe after a roof-to-tyre detailing would come up a million bucks.
My first question was obvious... would he ever sell it?
The response was surprising- "That's what I bought you down here, you daft bugger. I 'aven't got much use for it here, and there's better things it could be doing than sittin' here"
This is where I need help. I'm looking for anyone who owns (or knows someone who does) one of these big, beautiful cars. The internet only tells you so much, and in YouTube's case, shows you so much. I need to gather as much information as I can, and if I'm pleased with the what I can gather up in terms of availability of spares and proud owners... There might be a new addition to my garage.

Hope you liked my story. Here's to shed finds!
