Unfortunately I don't know much about this one. This car hauler was parked near my shop, tractor is in local truck repair shop (I did some snoopin). Car is pretty solid lookin, obvious hot rod project on its way to a new owner (presumably). Gotta say I did quite a double take when I spotted it, looks kinda lonely up there amongst all those dailies.
They are seriously falling from the sky.... I just got two calls this afternoon about two more. Im not kidding.....
I guess the recession is getting all of the projects that were never going to be finished out into the open. Hopefully some of these cars will see the road again and not just wind up in someone elses garage unfinish for the next 40 years.
I already have... lol The car is owned by my best friend from high school. His grandpa built it in the 60's, chopped 3", channeled 5", SBF, 4spd, Olds rear end, moon discs, etc... His grandpa gave it to him when he passed, it needs a clutch and trans to be driveable... he just hasn't had the money to get it going yet.
With all of them that have seen the light lately it looks like to old farts that were hiding them are starting to die off and I would like to find one
The irony is that 99% of the people that see this semi driving down the highway, would wonder why someone would want that beat up, rusty old car, but they do not understand that in reality, that beat up, rusty old antique is the most valuble car on the trailer. Brian
You are so right, I made several stops to check it out and not one person who drove by seemed even remotely interested in it. - I am in Nor Cal so it is probably the one seen on ebay. What did it go for ?
I was pushing a '32 5W coupe up the street and some dude in '98 Nissian pulls over and says "want to trade?" then laughs and drives off... I'm just standing there thinking, this car, not running, all rusty is worth more that five of your running, just waxed and vaccumed '98 Nissian.
