last fall I was told about the remains of a bugeye sprite in the wood.I was told that the car had a V8 in it in its day,Thinking it was early 70`s.Well for some reason the car is still where the man left it.The car was on land once own by the builder of the car and when he died and his family moved on the city took over the land and flatten the house.Not moving any of the car wrecks up behind.well over the years the trees and bushs grew in so there was no sign of anything.Well this past weekend I found the car and in doing so remove the only part remaining in the car.it was a 8 3/4 rearend,Posi to.thinking it is a early to lat 60`s cause the axles had both right and left hand lug nuts.Here are pics of the remains of the car as well as the rearend.Look and you can see where he made mount to mount the eliptic!(spelding!!)leafs onto the rearend.

Lets just say that I removed what remains of the body with my hands.No tools need.It was like opening up a cardboard box!!.
