Hot Rods They are still out there! Crusty old hot rod found

Buddy sent me this add last week. Way out in the sticks of Nebraska! A real live hot rod. Hopefully it’s sold to a loving home by now but figured you guys would enjoy zooming in

 

Well, Steve, is it?

 

True field car.lol. Snowman ⛄️

 

@alchemy haha at the time it was!

 

Looks like a model A roadster....

 

In the last picture, the frame at some time was used as a Hay Rack. You can see the remains of the tongue in front of the axle. I bought a 33 frame done exactly the same way. Pretty common in the upper midwest.

 

Don't write about it repeatedly. Go for it.

 

I’ve written about it once, and I’ve got no interest at all in buying it. Just thought it was neat and I’d share.

been fun zooming in and identifying parts trying to figure out what year it may have gone together.

 

@vinfab wagons made out of old chassis are common around here too. Especially the Model A with it being flat on top which makes it easier to add the wooden bed to it. It's probably saved alot of frames.

 

Yeah I’ve seen a lot of $40 farm trailers turn into useable hot rod frames rather quickly. Get lucky with some shitty stick welds and it’ll even steer without much trouble.

 

Well what's the scoop on them? Price? Location?

if you want an early Rod , there it is , I would be on my way with a trailer already.....

 

I’d drive it

 

Let me see if he’d sent me that in a photo quick @raven

That’s all I got. For sale on Facebook market place. I’m not on Facebook but I assume
You could search by location

from what I gather EVERYTHING together is 2k

 

Yeah, just get er running and drive it like it is..... Ooooops sorry, guess nobody said that yet.

 

Searching.....

Riverton is a village in Franklin County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 89 at the 2010 census.
That's right, 89...

…probably one of the baddest rods in town.

 

some of the old folk may know its history as well or at least who owned it.

 

I wasn’t exaggerating “way out in the sticks” lol

 

That would be quite a roadtrip Torana . The old hotrod must have race-history as well. See the pushbar and altered wheelbase .

 

Rough as a corn cob and cheap as old rags.

 

a mere 8795 Miles one way Fedex do it in 6 days, I might have to pass, did see the push bar, interesting car.

 

I think it may have 47 ish axles/springs front and back with stock placement of crossmembers. That would explain the rear axle being moved forward.

 

Your correct about the axles , looks like the engine is set back so that the fanbelt pulley can clear the crossmember thus the body is set back to clear the fuelpump. Those kids in Riverton did,nt worry about that way back then and the 20 other citizens at that time could,nt give a shit either Fun days in the boonies
