Cool stuff and it looks in fair shape ...............

 

We're posting this for Skirtless33 who has the Rod & Custom magazine.

 

Awesome!!!!!!! and that does look like the one from the Speedy Bill ads.

 

"I ran a marathon yesterday through a local rural area and was thinking the same thing, every farm had a barn or set of sheds that just had to have something in at least some of them!"


I did the same thing, only I was driving not running. I find running tedious after the first two or three steps.

 

I know of a barris built 49 merc convertible in a small one car garage close to me, came here from california in 62 or 63 and was put in the shed, has not been moved since.....I have been trying to buy it for years....they are still out there, just I dont seem to have much luck buying the cool stuff....Awesome little T!!!

Perhaps I can help with some questions about this car and its history... I hope. 52 years is a long time to remember.

crf500 - I'm guessing that the car is still owned by the same fellow who showed it to me back in 2002?

 

Hoping this awesome story results in the "re-activation" of this Fine Old Rod!!!

 

neat-o T ....cool thread

 

i remember seeing the car in the first picture at the cam twisters show in joplin--i don't believe it was glass--talked to the owner with my friend who was building one out of the front of a dodge touring car--doesn't seem like the same car --may just be to ragged out for me to tell--seemed like a very nice build at the time--blue wasn't it?

 

pretty cool and it stayed in Mo. the whole time

 

so, does Speedy Bill have it or not? Hard to believe it was used in a recent ad if it was ensconced in that garage for so many years. Is there a paper trail back to Fahrner?

 

The Speedy bill ad was from back in the day... It was parked in front of the old Speedway location.

 

For what it's worth, I just did an updated story on the Larry Ryan T-Bucket Legacy with more details and photos https://www.tbucketplans.com/larry-ryan-t-bucket/

 

George Barns is still active on T bucket sites- he does some great CAD plans for parts.
