Technical identify what's buried on the beach *excavation has begun!*

crazy. but that's what must happen to the loser in a race at the beach!

 

Ted, you did check that T rear axle to be sure it didn't have an accessory Ruckstell two speed rear, right? Bob

 

Bob, i did not dig much further. i borrowed the trenching tool when we went back to get the hub cap. if i had it the first day i would have dug the whole thing up. i did most of the digging with my bare hands.
someone who lives on the island and has access to a truck, wheel barrow and or tractor needs to dig this up. as read in the link i posted, the island of Nantucket band motor vehicles until 1919. if this is a 1920 and there were not any gas stations, dealers or any other automobile support system, before then, this may have been one of the first cars on the island. it should be dragged out and put on display.

 

1919 was the first year Ford sold a T with a starter, so that could have been a brand new car when it arrived on the island. Bob

 

When your done with that go get this P-38.

 

i would need a bigger shovel.

 

Old school HAMB posting.

 

Ted I need my pond dredged but you may need a snorkel! I hear there may be some Chevy wheels that were thrown into the pond years back. You know what's coming.

 

Red paint?

 

That P-38 would look great sitting on my property!
I wonder what FedEx would charge....

 

fuel to get to the ferry: $20
price for a round trip ticket for a car on the ferry - $450
beach house rental for a week [off season] -$3500
average price for two on the island : breakfast-$25, lunch-$50, dinner-$85
beer on the island- $7
souvenir T-shirt-$20
digging up an old car buried in the sand with your wife- $priceless..........

 

Many wives would want to bury you in that hole.

 

SEE! East Coast guys can afford to go to the LARS. Bob

 

Ok enough!

 

That is what happened to Babs....http://www.itv.com/news/wales/2012-11-02/record-breaking-car-on-display-in-drivers-hometown/

 

BABS rebuilt and running up the hill at Goodwood. Bob

 

You got a good wife....that's all I can say.

 

Is that a Titleist?

 

a hole in one.

 

Engine man.DONT give my wife any ideas!!!!!! LOL.

 

WOW!!!!!Bruce.

 

Gee, I thought I had a set when I took my wife to Desert Valley Auto Parts on a trip to Phoenix, years ago. You got me beat !

 

Keep digging and you'll find Jimmy Hoffa?

 

Must be an old tradition....Frank Lockhart's Blackhawk was buried on the Daytona Shores beach where he crashed and died in 1927. It was uncovered and removed in the 1980's.

 

Not a race car, but my engine was buried for a while....

 

Ted, I LOVE Kramers face. LOL. It looks like he was going to blow his lines and bust out laughing. Good one!!!!! Bruce.

 

There was a man holidaying at Nantucket
He owned hotrods (but not a T bucket)
He found a T in the sands
Dug it up with his hands
And then he proceeded to pluck it (the starter switch that is)

Sorry, best I do at short notice.
