Junked cars on my hunting property

Kebo gave me the hint, so I just googled "standard sewing machine" and hit IMAGES and it was about 4-5 rows down. :thumbsup:

If you're talking about Google stock, there are some mutual funds that own shares in Google. Vanguard is one of the top 5 holders of Google stock.

More pictures... the one hood ornament is from the car upside down. I was told in the antiques forum that it was of a 1954 Plymouth. I googled images of that car and it sure looked like it to me. I am pretty confident the other two cars are chevy products.

What's crazy is that I have several metal detectors, a couple of them are high end units, but I seldom have time to use them. I do plan to use them on that property at some point, but it will be one of my retirement hobbies, which is still a few years away.

Don't be afraid to do a little digging...look for depressions where old out houses may have been in relation to home sites...they were always filled with old bottles etc when a new one was dug...

Hardtops tend to be more expensive and collectible than sedan models of the same vehicle"

You are correct but I need to point out one exception. The '68 and '69 Plymouth Road Runner came as a 2-door sedan -- it had a post between the side windows that made the car sturdier and cheaper all at the same time. The back windows didn't roll down, they sort of popped out a few inches on a hinge. While for a few extra dollars you could get a true hardtop with no post, the sedan was seen as very cool at the time and now the "post car" commands a premium in the collector market.

I'm not much of a Mopar guy, and was never much of a drag racer, but if my memory serves me, the hot rodders I knew used to buy the cheapest, strip down and sturdiest body and equip it with the most HP they could find. Most didn't even have a radio. I believe the 2dr post was of course cheaper than the hardtop, and the body was a bit stronger and more rigid. I know if I was in a roll over, I wouldn't want to be in the hardtop.

There's always exceptions to general rules.

There's a Corvair in the woods near where I live; if anyone is interested, you can probably get it for cheap!

Bring your chainsaw though!

Know anymore about it? Year, model, etc....? Pics? I have a friend that collects them. I had an uncle that was president of the local Corvair club before he passed away.
