barn find "little monster" (new york guy's help) Pic's update

trailer park where car has been parked for 48 years...


this maybe the trailer that brought the car from New York...as he never sold anything!


loading car...

view from the street can see car, but if you got close you would have a gun in your face!




car is finally home...

after the antique nationals tomorrow I will give the hole story on the car!

 

Wow a new coop fer yer chicken yer a swell guy

 

Coast to coast in just49 years in 5 windowdrag prepped hot rod.. Fun fun fun

 

Is the exhaust really hooked op to the side pipes ?
All the way to the back and then forward again?

 

Incredible. Great find. unreal.

 

it's got cable operated cut outs....

 

Wow!!!

 

Very nice. What a great find

 

OMG that's great, the documented history is fantastic. He must have really loved that car to have never parted with it

 

so he kept the trailer under the carport and the car out in the weather?

seems a lil backwards to me, lol

awesome find tho

 

Of course the car is worth more than the park......

 

Very neat. Hope you can restore it back to some sort of near period state. However, comma, if you put the muffler directly under the gas tank it will explode much sooner. This is really dumb ass engineering and I hope that correcting / deleting the muffler from this location is on the top of your to do list. Gary

 

That is awesome !!!!!

 

Thats awsome!!, A real piece of history.

 

Way cool!

 

Bitchin. I'd leave it the way it is, just my opinion. It rules!

 

holy grail , comes to mind. nice find and good luck on the preservation.

 

Before you get all crazy on pulling it apart to get it running, painted and polished, do a bunch of research on the latest restoration techniques. These guys can make stuff look new as in not restored, but how it looked coming out of the factory or box. I'm talking about metal parts looking like they should, not just painted cast blast. Here is an example from a Mopar forum, but I'm sure the vette guys are doing this level too. This car deserves the best possible work you can do.

 

Wow. A Sharp intake on Edmunds heads and a whole stack of documented history. I guess THIS is why I find myself reading another "barn find" post. They never seem this cool.

 

Posting this thread link on our site Under Westhampton Topic heading in Bench racing section....Plenty of our forum guys raced that track and might help..dino

 

You beat me to it Fritz...Anyways, That is truely an amazing find esp with all the paper work. I think that car is on one of my old videos i have of some old drag strips around me....I'll have to watch them this weekend.

 

that is a heck of a find!!!!!

 

Yea, another Great Find

 

wow, amazing find!

 

Way cool! I don't know what to say......just want to watch this one unfold.

 

Wow!
Thought this was the same car for a minute....

 

i have a pic of that car by my lathe my buddy snaped for me probly 8 years ago i asked him were it was he said dont bother had sings all over the place it was not for sale

 

From one lucky dog to another, great catch. Knowing where the car is is one thing, but there is no substitute for being in the right place at the right time.
Since I'm new here, why is this called a "barn find" when the car was sitting in plain sight for all of those years? Just asking.
Keep the pictures coming, that's what we all want to see.

 

don't change a fucking thing man... that is killer

 

I second this. Get it running and give it hell. That coupe is fucking amazing.
