Technical (found) Wheel bearing help central Minnesota

Some take life as it comes while others get out and make the life they want. Thanks Jim for including us in your adventure and the help you also always graciously extend to others.

Probably end up back in Minnesota. Land of 10,000 idiots

 

Epic...puts it in the ditch, but still wins. That’s the H.A.M.B.!

 

the thing about a LeMons Rally is that if you haul your ****py car in the last day on a trailer, you'll get bonus points, and probably win.

 

What is the prize,other then bragging rights?. Sounds like it was fun.

 

Don't know yet, but something might show up in the mail. We'll see. Past years has been a trophy made of broken car parts.

 

Someone needs to buy up all of your old race cars and start a Lemons museum in an old wrecking yard there in sunny Az. I see gl*** cases with wasted axle bearings, broken 3 speeds, rotted gaskets. Running videos of the Wedgie spinning in the snow. Maybe an interactive display where kids can play in a Corvair. What a tourist attraction.

This race sounds light fun, win or lose! Congratulations Jim, on your win!

Still for sale.

That is definitely a one off custom.

 

It's on Barnfinds too.

 

lmao....still only one inquiry about the car. It's fun to point and laugh at, but not easy to find anyone who actually wants it

and I have an interview scheduled with jalopnik about it.

 

Expand your marketing. Wheat field reaper, mobile big rig loading ramp, drive through car wash test vehicle..

 

Sell it to Jason Torchinski.
or maybe
To David Tracy for a cross country adventure series on Jalopnik.

 

Jim,

You probably have the most famous car that nobody wants! Lol.

Maybe the exposure by/with jalopnik will be the just the ticket to get it to a new owner.

 

Reminds me of something from "Battlebots" . Might be good to promote the show.

 

Wouldn't buying it be like marrying Marilyn after Leo was done with her? Squirrel, you should read the comments on Barnfinds. Those guys want to restomod everything.

 

More like after anybody did Phyllis Diller, Marilyn was a looker, this car not so much.

 

I was thinking along similar lines - Robot Wars (which I guess is the same). Show promotion, or maybe just an avid fan?

Might be the perfect car for the Road Kill guys!

 

If they had found it and got it working, then yeah....but it's too late for that, now

 

I don't know, they could always drop in an LS and add a couple of leaf blowers......

 

Zip tie moment when wheel bearing issue happened would be cooler.

 

I'm only 45 miles from Paynesville. I coulda helped, except I was in Indianapolis picking up a '27 Model T when you broke down. Glad you made it home. I laff when I see that ridiculous car!

 

It's pretty funny looking. I drove through Buffalo.

Anyways, I sold the car to a lady that runs an old motor court in Tucson. It will be on display at the El Pais Motel, on old Benson Highway. She has several old travel trailers there, as well. It's a good home for the funny little car. And her daughter really loves it (she has a 61 Corvair also).

I think Jim could sell bifocals to a blind man!

 

That he could! I think he could sell a ketchup popsicle to a supermodel in a white dress.

 

You don't have to be a salesman, when the product sells itself...you just need to wait until the right person finds it. I did my best to tell her what a piece of **** it is, and she bought it anyways.

 

It will make a great prop in front of their business. May never see road miles again.

However, it does have winning provenance!

 

The end of an era!
