Wow!
"FOUND" IN WOODS
Means it got lost, forgoten, discarded. ...
Thank goodness you found it, I hope you can make it run again.
Surely someone tried, & pushed it into "the woods" when they gave up.
Get'er goin , & don't forget to post a build thread & some video. Because that thing looks like it'll sound (& feel ) BADASS sittin' still.

 

Cows crossing road, in front of Hemi, Really?

 

That's awesome!!!

Cool-story-glad to see it is going to be preserved

 

What do you say to something like this ? I am still picking my jaw up off of the ground !

That is about the wildest thing I've heard in quite some time...it actually leaves me speechless!.....it's kind of "surreal"....and the cows in the pic just adds to the mental cloud-burst....somebody, please pinch me!!!....man, what a cool find!!!

 

Great history. Still more to be found.

Wow, unbelievable these days!

 

very Cool

 

So cool! Hemi digger is a combination or words that makes my blood rush south in a juvenile way!

Good find

That's some find..... and a great story.... this has to be a restoration/preservation project!!

 

Geez , connecting rod engine mounts !!

 

Is it just me, or is this a bit suspect?
4 new tyres? Maybe, but none of them are flat...
Paint is rooted, except on rear wheels...
Still has carbs, but no linkages...why?
Front axle & wheels show different proportions compared to old black & white pic... fuel tank too?
No paint left on motor, no breathers on valve covers...

Feel free to shoot me down.............

 

I see nothing wrong with your post @fol
But i believe it was taken apart, and stored in different locations, and got different patina.

But it's still a good story and it would be cool to re-create.

Them motor mounts are cool, but I doubt they would be legal now.

 

Looks like flathead ford rod for front engine mount--now that is cool as hell!!
Yea this is one we all wish we had found--what a cool tale!!! THIS is what hot rodding and the car culture is all about.
My dad took me to Shuffletown Dragway in about 1966--we stood beside the starting line with the big crowd--all I remember was tri 5 chevys laying it on the wood then side stepping the clutch--was not long until one exploded--the teeth came off the flywheel like .38 special bullets--a rod cap hit me in the foot--That day my future was set! I have been a drag racer ever since--I know run a pretty good copy of a dragster I saw that day
Life in the USA is still good ( at least for the time being) I plan on burning at least two drums of fuel next season and running like it may be my last--though I hope and pray it ain't--
Merry Christmas Boys!

 

Nice find.

 

Al this and its not even April 1st.
