Hot Rods ScaryLarry's 34 three window

Larry always said if Paxton's 34 came available he was going to get it and he did. Well lets see some better pics Larry this is all I have.

 

Question is what took up the floor space at Paxton's when it left. Nice Coupe!

 

And what did Larry get rid of to get it?

 

Wow! That's one nice model 40!

 

Paxton is building a house and his wife is getting a little crazy.

Larry has been a mad man listing on Ebay.

The 34 isn't afraid of a little mud either.

 

I didnt get rid of anything...yet! Paxton is giving me some time to pay for the car, and let me take it home. So maybe I can figure out how to pay for it and keep everything. It could not have come at a worse time, we just yanked the 2.3 out of the roadster to replace with a rebuilt flathead and then I get the call. Play money will be thin for a while but I now have the cars I finally figured out I always wanted, 34 3 window, 32 roadster, and 41 panel (truck to pull the camper). I'm broke but happy The coolest thing about the coupe is that I got it from our local sprint car hero Lynn Paxton and it has a steering wheel that Tommy Hinnershitz gave to him in it. The car will eventually be painted maroon and I've got to take that damn v shaped spreader bar off the front. This thing rides like a new car! 350 in front of stock 3 speed. It's good to be alive on occasion! Now anybody want to buy a pinball machine? I've gotta move some merch

 

Congrats Larry!
Paxton's a great guy..as shown by what he's doing for you...
Man that's cool!
Well, from one good home to another. Nice.

Is that on of those Giovani (sp) cam stickers on the hood? Lee had a bunch of those at one point...one ended up on my old truck, and i'd bet another couple ended up on that

Tony

 

Haha, I think that is the norm with wives when it comes to building or remodeling. I hope it works out for Larry. later shawn

 

Thanks Tony, Paxton and Oz were cut from the same mold, huh?
I kinda like thinking I now have the cars I will always have. New stuff is fun but there something I like about "Larry's here,there's his car".

 

no doubt they were...Oz did the same thing for me when i got that truck from him.
And i know how you feel. I miss that truck. That used to happen all the time.

 

Glad to see you got the rides you want.. not many folks can say that..

As for the pinball machines, I want a few.. just not the right time for me.. got a new garage to build first...

 

Way to go Larry!

 

Congrats Larry
I know how bad you wanted that thing.... about wore the seat out at the drags!

 

I hope he left the grill badge. As you can see it's no trailer queen. I'm happy for you Larry! Drive it like Lynn would!

 

So this is the one you have been talking about..........too cool.......congrats

John

 

Will look good with Latimore mud on it.

 

cool! i've seen that car around. i dig it. (what are you doing with the 2.3 larry?)

 

Tommy, the grill badge stayed. This is the first PA inspected legal hot rod I've ever owned. I'm not overjoyed with the fenders but I think I'll leave them for a while and drive anywhere any time I want. sxdxmike, Clark got the 2.3 for the cut down model A he's building for Billy Towers over at Jr's shop. The four was a good experiment, got me out to Bonneville and back but I miss the sound of a V8. A flathead fits the style of the roadster best, so Mikey is building one for me.

 

Awesome news Larry

 

Yes! It's very cool.

 

Wow, too cool! I'm so happy for you Larry! Here are a couple more pics of Paxton's *EDIT* Larry's coupe last year at the Showdown...




I've been thinking about Paxton, glad to hear he's doing ok (except for the wife with the new house desires bit LOL ). I've been reading some 4 Banger newsletters/little books from the late 70s into the early 80s. They cover midgets and vintage sprint car events- basically any and all vintage racing, his name is everywhere in those books!

 

Photos because someone asked. The engine has LPS valve covers. They made sprint car chassis stuff. Somebody gave them to Lynn and said it stood for Lynn Paxton Sucks! I dig the breather mounted to the firewall.

 

if anyones interested, heres some info on Paxton.

Thanks Megan I guess it will forever be know as "Paxtons coupe"

I prefer juke's over pinball's, but having seen your collection of fine merch and wheeled wonders, I think I'd prefer your high boy. Call me when it's ready to leave.

The coupe is a great looking ride, will fit in well with the other toys.

Nice car Larry. Glad it went to someone who will appreciate it and its history. I suppose you could put one of those large "donation" jars at the gate in May with a sign, " Please give to Larry's 3W fund".

 

Just like Frank's car beside it in the pictures above We are all just caretakers! I'd say it's an honor to own anything of Paxton's but you know that!

 

I couldn't agree more.

 

Larry had to sell his snakeskin boots that he wore in his hair band "Cry Tough" on e-bay. It really is a tradgedy, he would look awesome driving that car wearing them with his golden mane flowing in the breeze......

 

Wow...I think Larry got the better deal. The price of houses is going down faster than the price of a good hot rod. Soon the car may be worth a lot more than the house.
