Buried treasure in Hollywood

i think i would be making the effort to drag it up, you will probably regret not doing it in a few years when old tin really dries up.
Al.

 

Looks like the car had been rear ended at one time and a new tailpan somewhat crudely welded in place. Instead of properly repairing the tool tray area, someone just welded in a piece of diamond plate.

 

Where's Jim Sibley when you need him????

 

nice find! any bodies ?

 

Very cool, You don't find stuff like that around here.

 

That is awesome!

 

Up here, that WHOLE car would be considered GOLD!

 

Sorry guys, but the safe is more interesting and could be traced to an old heist on the LAPD books. BTW, nobody ever heard of Helocopter lifts?

 

I used to Live right in the area, ( 1973 ) I would walkpast a very vintage Steel Pre- fab gas station on Hollywood Blvd near Wilcox. You could see the imprint of what were Visable pumps in the concrete and what was left of an Air tower. I would always be in awe of the artifacts I could find climbing about Laurel canyon near the Canyon Liquor store. Truly , a treasure troveof interesting finds if the surroundings could talk........... scrubba

 

those brackets sticking up were probably camera mounts.
diamond plate to stand on.

 

Wow. Good call there 2-TONED. Never thought about that. So we're thinking that the primo deck lid was probably removed long ago and left propped up against a fence in the back lot of a studio.

 

pics man!!!!!! , i love this kinda stuff!!!!!!!!!!!! I need pics before i call shinanigans on ya!!!!:d

 

That should be coming Home!!! How Kool!!!

 

looks like a readdy made stock car clone would be easy as the body is properly tuned for the theme

 

Shoot....I got a truck and a rope, lets go get whats left !

 

Think there's any chance that those brackets could be for bracing the charges to flip a stunt car?

 

That's what I'm thinking.

 

extra shocks and a diamond plate floor because safes are heavy, dumped the car and the safe at the same time....

 

^ I like that theory best! hahaha

 

What would it take to pull it to safety?

 

a tow truck with a boom arm on it!

 

Like someone already said: a helicopter.

 

its off of the fire road right?

 

you better get the shovels and tools at least get the motor and trans ya never know might be able to be saved and its gotta a cool story

 

one of those said chryslers could be my friends 1940 cadillac that he dumped there when he was a kid around 59

 

Thats the coolest thing iv ever seen would love to know how it got there.

 

There may be more cars there than I saw but the ones I'm talking about deffinitly had flathead inline sixes.

 

go get it

 

meh sibley would be driving that coupe by the end of a month if he got it to his garage lol

 

Me too!
