dragster, found in weeds

here are some pics. of my new find. I put some pics. on yesterday.And im trying to get video on, of pases on my driveway,heres what it looked like when i found her.Kind of sad. But I can tell you this. the old girl is happy now.And so im I, theres alot of junk all around it I took that to.I have pics, of it running fomosa with the 6 2s on it.It ran salinas,half moon bay and fremont ,most of its early years,I was told it had a hemiin it 1st .Im still trying to locate the orignal owner.my pretty wife drove it out,after we ran out the big rat killed several big spiders and pushed down all the poison oak growing inside. HEY its a dirty job but someone hads to do it.

 

Are you gonna get it?
Dig the ****** out and REBUILD it!

 

That's cool. What are your plans?

 

I call ********.

No one would leave that sitting outside. NO ONE.

I suppose You left the newish pie crusts and the 4 deuce intake there in the "pile", too?

 

Great find! Looks like some neat parts laying around too, like that 6x2 intake.

 

There was a lot more there than I figured you had found when I looked at the photo of the car with your daughters last night. I had thought you had just found the ch***is and put the car back together.
someone will dig out the history of that one.

 

Wow---this looks too good to be true; you sure its legit?? Hard to believe someone would
leave a digger this nice out in the elements, still w/ the SBC and OPEN Hillborn inj. open!

 

BigBoar:
That is amazing. Thanks for Posting. Please Post More and include Pics.

Thank God that was in Cal. If it was in my neck of the woods it would be halfway to Iron Oxide by now..

Good luck

 

Seems like the tires would be flat if sitting very long. Hard to imagine someone parking it out there and not throwing something over the injectors.

 

That looks like fuel injection to me... not a 6x2... maybe I'm seeing it wrong?

 

Motor, frame, wheels and tires look too clean for it to have been sitting out very long....I wonder???

 

MMMM! I see what you're saying!

 

Bull ****.

Slicks go flat almost overnight- and the intake I am talking about is in between the tire in the foreground with a pair of somehow still shiny frogmouths on it.

 

yea I saw that one, but he was talking about it running a 6x2....

 

Is it POPCORN time yet? I don't want that SALTY Cack thanks!

 

I wanna live where ever you found it, no dust dirt or rust on it. Must be a pretty nice weather around there.
Shame on you for making folks think there is stuff like this just sitting around for the taking out there.

probably the one in the new photos that mysteriously "grew" the other 4 scoops.

I ain't buyin it.

 

This picture was on one of the other posts....same car, different headers....maybe this was before it went to the weeds?

 

I thought it might be a posed shot too but take a real close look at the weed around it. They don't look smashed down as if the slicks were rolled back over them any time lately.

You have to remember that not everyone holds the same reverence for old race cars and old hot rods and parts that we do and if it "was taking up too much valuable space" in the garage it may well have been shoved out back at some time and covered with the tarps in the photos.

 

The man told me it was in his garage for years. then his wife got a new car,she put it out side . then later it went to the weeds . its pertty rusty but I think ill leave it that way. It was covered with that old green tarp.

 

Oh I DO beleive I DO believe I DO I DO I DO Believe

 

Jr. fueler from about 1970?

 

I agree, I am throwing the ******** flag !!!
all that stuff is too nice to "dump" and leave for dead.

I do award you the best " creating the best "barn find" of the year" .....

 

How come I can't find jewel's like that around here?

 

Im joining the BS club. No offence dude but, tell me more....It is a cool car!

 

I'm with Lux on this one...

 

Lookie there, why it's the afore mentioned Pie crusts and the exact same helmet!

 

um... you aint never been to Tucks place have you.

i hear a lot of people callin ******** here, but i dunno. its kinda, kinda like Santa Claus. did anyone REALLY need to tell us about how things worked on Christmas? maybe its the real deal, maybe its bull, but it sorta looks on the up and up to me. i seen some amazin treasures in peoples ****pile out back of the shop

 

Why would someone do this??

WTF

I hope its true but I am a dreamer.
