    This past weekend, we helped my buddy meglite, who is always finding interesting stuff, dig out this Vicky. It seems the owner cut it up back in the 70's, put it in a s**** pile, and just never got around to taking it to s****. He took a torch to it and cut it with frame bumpers, etc. At the bottom of the pile, was the grille, hood and decklid!:(

    YES, But I will bet we see it on ebay looking for a new owner. He is always finding and selling interesting stuff. Even the Orbitron if I remember correctly.

    I think even Jim Sibley would have his hands full if he tried to rebuild that.

    Thats a great find I would like to thump the guy in the head who cut it up ,was there a reason for it or was he mental ? But look at the bright side if it was still complete it may not have been there for future pickings .

    What a sad state of affairs that we get excited about a complete pile of **** like that...

    It's a sickness for sure. And it's awesome.

    Good luck!

    Even during the biggest expansion in the rodding world, the 70s, somebody cut up a 34 Victoria for s****! What a country.

    Man, that's a heartbreaker. Hope you can give the old girl a new life.
     
  29. Looks like it was a pretty solid body before the idiot with the gas wrench came along. That body and rolling ch***is would have brough good money even back in the '70s. The '34 Vicky has always been a popular body style.
