History Dragster Sitting and Rotting??

Found this photo posted on another forum by a guy from New Mexico. Any thoughts?

 

Cool to look at but I doubt that many if any tracks would let you run it without updates that end up taking away a lot of the cool factor.
If it were mine I'd freshen it up to the way it looked when it was raced and haul it out every once in a while for show and tell.

 

This has done the internet rounds before. At least a couple of years ago.

Including here on the HAMB.

 

If the mods want to delete it no problem here. I have never seen it before.

 

It was iirc the subject if an article in HRM.

 

Needs some dirt tires to herd those cows.

 

I believe it was posted here on the HAMB, with a link to all the photos of the car, starting in the barnyard. Wonder what the cattle are thinking? I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

"That a Hemi in that thing?"

 

Yes I have seen this car before. Every time I see this car, it is still very cool. Thank you for reminding us of this cool find.
