And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If I were to seriously restore it I would also add a protection bar behind the seat just in case it flips upside down over the driver. As an anti crush measure.
I know of a 1940's Dodge Power Wagon. It was a X military and originally had a canvas top. I inquired about it in 1980, not for sale, just needs a radiator, we're going to fix it. It's still there.
I watched a Superbird disintegrate over about 20 years. The guy had a good reason, though. Seems his son bought the car new in '68, then went to Vietnam. The son never returned, and Dad couldn't bear to sell his son's dream car.
To me that's a junk yard.
ReplyDeleteJunk that's impossible to find parts for, that's why it's parked along the edge of the woods.
DeleteThere's stuff there that could be cobbled together to make a useful machine. Will need some tires tho.

ReplyDeleteSame old story. Spend your money on one that someone else has restored. You will have saved years and a big pile of cash.
ReplyDeleteI’ve got a shed full of those round things. Let me know…

ReplyDeleteAround here (Oregon) they'd be invisible under 12 ft of blackberries.
ReplyDeleteI have a few “naw, don’t wanna sell it, I’m gonna fix it” projects around, too. 20 years later….
