Hot Rods Barn Finds, Cool Old Race Cars

I went with a buddy of mine a few weeks ago to a place that he knew of where the owner had become sick and was selling off his collection of old hot rods and race cars. This is just a small sample of what there was. The bad part is that everything is priced really high.





Just in case you thought that tractor grilles and shoddy workmanship were something new, I present exhibit A, which is over 50 years old at least:













These are a few of the Hemis I found:

 

I see some very cool stuff!

 

what up with the vette for sale?
where can i get info on it

 

I see he's using a wood carb spacer...old hot rodders trick.

 

Interesting bunch of junk!

 

That 'vette is quite interesting. Looks to be a '68, possibly a '69 (can't see the door handle clear enough). If it's a true L89 car (especiall if it is still in it), that's a way better find than the old rusty shells and motor pieces layin around outside. Did he shoot you a price or mention anything about it?
Looks like a fun treasure hunt. Thanks for posting.

 

My brother sold a 68 or 69 L89 a few years back to the owner of Popeye Checken for BIG BUCKS

 

Well there,s proof up ^^there ^^about the tractor grille shells being used decades ago.
