Nice car and well bought! It's exciting to find one that old that isn't destroyed by rust!

[@JD-vl5yh]

I love how those of us from the Midwest get excited when the rust ("no rust") isn't causing holes. I moved to the south and that wouldn't be good enough for parts down here. I love it! Great find.

[@stevilmeyers]

I've had my 54 going on thirty years. It was a true barn find that I rescued with my dad.

[@rogerwhite3644]

I'm a Ford guy. But I absolutely love the 54 Chevy

[@Forests0fFantasy]

It's awesome seeing the variety of projects you have planned out. You are definitely one of the best resources for talking about the realities of chassis swaps and getting past the show at elitism of hotrod culture. Keep it up!

[@pyewacket2551]

Yes!! Please show more of this car! Can’t wait to see it run and drive!

[@daletroxel4942]

The ole 54 brings back a lot of memories for me. I had one exactly like it in high school Royal Lancer flipper hubcaps all around and a split exhaust manifold . Out there in the country they could hear me coming a ways away

[@rockettcustoms6266]

That is one sweet car. I agree, '53 and '54 are beautiful cars. And a pretty good deal on it too considering how solid it is. The patina on it is perfect too. I'd love to see this one get built. It would be a far more interesting build than the Mustang.

[@BillyJoefromMtVernonMo]

I think the glass jar is a rare windshield washer fluid, check the wiper control knob

[@terryeustice5399]

I had a 1953 BelAir that 6cyl. Are great engines. I bet you will get it going. Thank you for sharing!

[@jameskloss3866]

What a great find, love the shape and the trim package on the 54 such a great car and that's coming from Ford Fan. Really looking forward to seeing if she will run and what you choose to do with her. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your Sunday.

[@tompreciado863]

thats a huge score on that 54, I love 50's cars. They are so much fun to drive, the patina is already there. just add a bit of papis on it and call it a day!

[@kevinmcree8959]

Great find, looks like it was swapped from a 6volt to 12 volt system. My first car was a 53 Belair 2 door sedan. It was drivable in about the same body condition. I learned a lot restoring that car.

$800 WHAT !!!!! Burglar 🙀 WOW 🤩 Casey I’m new to your channel Love this purchase 👍

[@shaywood2011]

800$ is a steal dude. I'm thoroughly impressed with the luck you have of finding these things. So mustang's gonna be a drag car huh?

I’m pretty excited, nah not a drag car…

[@DennisMurphey]

It a great time capsule. My science teacher at Onarga Military School, Illinois back in 1963 had one just like that. He was ancient back then. I love the looks and orginality is Awesome. Can't wait to see it run. Dennis

The glass jar is the windshield washer, you are lucky it is intact, a lot of them got filled with water in summer then froze in the winter and busted the glass.

[@CaseysCustoms]

I knew that but talking is hard lol. It even has the 1/4” barb on top, obviously not coolant. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Casey when I was eight or so I bought a model called the 54 chevy highboy and that model was so cool. look up what that model looks like and make yours like like that!

[@kcbeerslinger]

Wow!!! What a great find. I live in the K.C. area and very seldom see a 54 in this kind of shape. The best looking year of this body stye in my opinion. You could bring this car back as good as the body is. Rat hole some money for a nice paint job and interior and you would have a forever car. You sure are a lucky dog.

[@alshotrodsandratrods8780]

The glass jar under the hood is for the windshield washer fluid.

[@davidstrock6493]

Cool looking '54 Belair. Too bad the windows were busted out, but it would be a neat hot rod with the patina.
