f...ing photobucket. They just continue to get worse.

 

Saw these while on The Worlds Longest Yard sale on route 127 in Tennessee. No one around to ask about them

 

1962 I know of... supposedly 2nd owner

 

Thid olds is behind s repair shop in Utah. He said his dad started thd shop and car has been ther "almost since new"...
Looks like it had a small engine fire... and now probably a rotten frame from the soft soil...but it's a nice looking one

 

That sure looks like the place where I stopped to talk to a guy there years ago. If my memory serves me right, two brothers own all those and they would not sell anything because they were going to "fix them up" someday. The guy I talked to didn't mind talking to me and letting me look, there was everything from late 30s to rare 60s muscle cars there at the time. There were more cars back then and they were more haphazardly ****tered around. When I talked to him I thought he was about 20 years older than me so he may no longer be with us anymore.

Edit: Upon further research, that isn't the place I was thinking of. The place I was thinking of is in Georgia just south of Chattanooga on 2 lane hwy that goes through Rising Fawn Ga.

 

At least they are inside. Well, kinda.

 

JC Lanes place, use to have a old facebook page, Talked to him a time or two several years ago, wouldnt let anyone look when I asked for insurance reasons. but seemed like a nice old guy.

 

Theres @Bruce Fischer a cool little wagon, If it were for sale reasonable and not so far away.
Think he may like the bigger wags tho also...but I like it

 

I looked at these last fall. I didn’t share at the time because I thought I needed to buy them.

Did that last pic show it had a V8-60 ? JW

 

I don’t know ‘40s well enough to know. What are the engine compartment differences?

Not a lot, i was just looking at the mounts. V8-60's were from 37-40, just curious. JW

 

Buckeyebuick, I see a Buick on the front row. Buy anything interesting while you were out there? Bruce.

 

Those were not for a V8 60 .V8 60 mounts were behind the crossmember

 

I got some pretty good stuff, some 56 Olds flipper wheel covers, an original 57 Chevy 4 barrel oil bath air cleaner, a 61 Imperial "square" steering wheel a couple small porcelain signs, some original 60's AMT model cars and a bunch of misc. 40's and 50's hubcaps and wheel covers. Started in Alabama and made it about 1/2 way through Kentucky. We have now covered the whole 600+ mile route from Michigan/Ohio border to Gadsden, Alabama over the years.

 

Found this 40 Mercury this spring. Tracked down the owner. Very nice older widowed lady. Said she had no use for it. Probably would go for s****... Her asking price was very fair. I took it home. I will find a good home for it. I have too many projects now. .....
Stash. .......

...this 30? Pontiac coupe probly sat in the building behind it since about 1963,...sold at auction yesterday for $775.00,...no ***le, sellers mite apply for lost ***le?...a restoration shop bought it, I didn't stay to see it sell, I've got too much stuff now, but my wife bought this milk truck body from a guy who bought it on the sale,...now I gotta figure out how to get it home...

 

For the kind of money I spent with these guys, you'd think they could at least wax their trucks once in a while.

 

...got the side panels off the milk truck body today...gonna let a s****per get the rest

 

saved from sitting and rotting. Taking cab home, gutting, welding in supports and taking for soda blasting.

I spotted this 58 Ford sitting on a trailer. Rotting? Not for long I hope. I don't think the price was bad. That's before any offers.

There’s definitely some potential there.

There is a pad next to the dist. It will tell the engine size. 228 or 248 and if your lucky a 270 or 302. the GMC engine has value.

 

Was told it’s a 302 will check it out . [emoji106]
