just when ya think that everyone (seems like everyone )thinks any old car is worth big money .. someone starts taking pieces off a complete 80 year old car and scrappin em .. rather than sell the car .. even if it was just above the scrap price good save! I am waiting for the related story of how someone scored a model A grill and hood at the recycler .. thanks for the complete story
SCRAP!!!???? I swear, some folks kids. The scrapyard owner made 2 payments on sumthin outta that. Good on ya. scrap,,,,,,,sheeeeesh!
Nice score! That is my dream car, I will have one some day, just don't have the scratch to even consider looking for one yet.
Sam, you need that one, 'cause you already gave the left one for the Essex in the garage, remember??? LOL (BTW: Hey, I hope isn't slammin's you & the wife too bad yet up your way!)
No, it was not a paved road. It looks like it in the picture but it was basically a long driveway (1/4 mile long?) that they had put some crushed stone on. It was probably not noticed too often because of the private nature of the driveway. I will say this though; it was about three miles from the Latimore Valley Fairgrounds. I told the family about the big Jalopy Showdown show that they hold there but they had never heard of it. Crazy stuff. I hosed it off yesterday and had to get the right front brake assembly un-siezed so I could get it off of the trailer. The 4 cylinder is now leaking oil on my yard. I am going to try and get it running this spring.
