WOW....when someone finds an ACTUAL "barn find."
It was in a pole barn right up the street. About 12 years back I found the car. I went there to look at a 86 GLHS. Since that time my son started doing engines for Alex who owns several MAX wedge cars. I told him I knew about the car. The owner since died and Alex purchased the car.
I Met Alex in the 80's he helped me with parts for my 62 conv. When he came to my son to build his engines. At the time he had no idea who I was until we started talking. we are old and I didn't recognize him. Its a small world.
Now my son and Daughter get to have part of the history of some famous historic race cars. There is a 64 Dodge factory HEMI race car. also local find . My son related to me that Alex may be getting that also .
Steve's machine shop teacher at HTA machine owns the original HEMI Hunter. Big Daddy wants the car for his museum. The original drivers nephew is helping on a Demon that is here.
The world gets smaller. My oldest daughter lives over 150 miles from here . I was down there just driving around and found one of Muldowney's Dragsters sitting in the woods by a junk yard with a Hemi Dart where I bought a Barracuda .
If only I had the extra cash to buy some of these old Drag cars we are finding from meeting old farmer customers fixing tractors at the shop hiding in the Pa. barns. We are located in the middle of Several well known 1/4 mile drag strips where I frequented in my young years. Maple grove, Island, Atco, Cecil County, English town, Nuemedia, and many more 1/8 mile tracks and air ports.
I can think several old race cars and rare mopars sitting in barns and fields. I showed some and they went and bought them and I never received a thank you let alone a finders fee. Like most I am waiting to hit the lottery.
