Folks Of Interest Hemi Digger Found in Woods after 50 Years

What a great story! A back woods find.

 

In the artical they said they assembled the car then took it back to where it was found for the photos. They don't claim it was sitting just like the photos show.

 

Go read the article on MSN about it.

 

read the story in the link in the first post and no one will have to shoot you down. You shot yourself by not reading it

 

nice snag there ....

 

For those feeling too lazy to click through the slide show, here's the highlight reel IMO.

 

First barn finds now woods find. The next catch phrase to head classifieds ads. Nice catch no matter where its found.

 

Wow!!
What a find. Not your normal "rusting in peace" 4-dr Nash.
Dayton, TN is NE of Chattanooga. Surprised that Ol' Corky hadn't sniffed this one out.

 

Very very cool.

 

Quite the find!! Makes you wonder how many other forgotten hot rods and never finished projects are still out there hidden away in barns and sheds just waiting to be discovered. I'd be willing to bet there are quite a few.

 

Was that a Dodge Charger funny car body next to the chassis in the woods ?

 

I think the story is legit.. Some of the pictures (like the wheels laying next to the building) look artfully placed an sprinkled with straw.
Cool none the less.

 

Don't know if that's a funny car but it is a '66 Charger. How 'bout the pic with the '55 Chevy with home made hood scoop and cheater slicks. Way cool.

 

No doubt. New ones go into the barn everyday.

It's a copy of a story from this month's issue of hot rod, I'm assuming hot rod is trustable with what people actually "find' out in the woods.
