Barn find like no other

About 3 years ago I bought a small 10 acre farm.
The previous home owner told me alot about the house, barns & about the property. He stopped over the other day so I showed him my 33 project.
He says you didn't need to buy that car, there is a model T buried in front of the barn.

So now I keep looking at my shovel.....

 

I wonder how you will wash it once it's dug out

 

maybe it's not a T....maybe a one cylinder Cadillac. Ya never know,,

 

Well... There's only one way to find out. And I'm waiting for the update.

 

You gunna take a picture of the ground or what?

 

Probably just a '32 5-window.

 

LOL! That thread is the gift that keeps on giving.....

 

Start diggin'!

 

Probably BS,,but if it is indeed there it would have to be a archaeological Dig,,definitely not a barn find! HRP

 

Encapsulated in cosmoline and buried in a water proof vault, preserved as a time capsule for the future. That's a joke at the expense of the 57 Plymouth

Ground find?

 

ground penetrating radar service michigan, might have a car guy working for them.

Might be something, maybe not.
But would be worth the time to find out.

 

Hahaha!

 

Just cuz you can, doesn't mean you should

 

Do you have or know anyone who has a metal detector? That would tell you all you need to know.

 

If it was a farm you can trust me that you won't be able to walk 2 feet without that sucker going off.

 

Who buries a model t.. Or any car for that matter.

 

Lots of bodies for erosion control.

 

Man, that's gonna take an army to dig that sucker out.....

 

At some time about Lady Bird Johnson's cleanup campaign, people started to improve the looks of their farm property. Probably because the roads had improved and others were driving down the road in front of their house. They installed storm windows, put vinyl or aluminum siding on AND they buried their junk. Lots of junk went into ravines to stop erosion. Where I lived in Colorado, they used a bull dozier
and dug a long trench. Then, they took the junk/abandoned cars in town and put them in the trench. To make stuff fit better, they were smashed as flat as possible...not much useful remained. Same for the T.....unless they were having fun digging, the car was flattened before going into the hole. Buried cars are everywhere.....in a million years, they will be mined for iron ore.

 

WOW its a bit ruff but that's kind of cool lawn art!

 

when we were kids (I am 39) my dad cut up the Model A frame that was behind out barn, my dad a lifetime car guy and hot rodder...now we are baffled by it, like what were we thinking

 

Yes you should.

 

Well at least he didn't tell you it was Jimmy Hoffa........

 

ha ha ...my parents bought the house i grew up in right around 1973, when i was about 25 i was visiting and a couple older gentlemen pulled in the driveway and approached us as we were sitting on the 16' x 30' deck enjoying the weather . the first guy speaks up and says his cousin used to own the place and wanted to know if we found any old engines when we were digging to build the deck . turns out there were a couple 426 Hemi motors buried with plastic wrapped around them and burlap around that then set in a wood crate right about under where that deck was . when my parents bought the house they had only been buried about 3 years but the day those guys stopped by was 28 years later , and now its been another almost 15 years since then!!

oh and just because you have a T buried in front of the barn doesn't mean you shouldn't have bought that old 33

 

I was told its in the back yard between the garage, house and barn. Not where the crops are. It's about 60' sq

 

Every week they are digging for him somewhere.

 

Lots of people. They were just old junkers to someone at sometime.

There's lots of poor vehicles from the 20's/30's/40's lying in ravines around here.
