Weird, cool stuff you found in the woods.

It's fun, I'll give it a try.

 

Now, tell me who owns the land so I can try to buy the truck.

 

I just ID them.

You have to ask @MTgirl about the location, it might be near one of her super top secret fishing spots.

 

My grandma lived on a ~200 acre farm that had been in our family since before the civil war and there was a dump back in the woods. I cringe every time I see an amber glass snuff bottle on Etsy or ebay for $40 because at that price my cousins and I shot easily $10k worth of them. Plus a lot of the little blue glass medical bottles.

 

I see vintage Matchbox cars and Tonka trucks like new going for big money.
Mine aren't worth a dime, they got worked into the ground.

After all I had to play with something the only other thing I had was my...

Volkswagen Beetle 1967 or older, the bumpers changed in 1968


Just not enough to work with, domestic, between 1965 - 1975 is my best guess. Leaning toward it being a GM car, tough with only the corner of the bumper.


Plymouth Duster, 1973-76, the 70-72 models didn't have the prominent lines in the hood. There is also it could be the less common twin, the Dodge Dart Sport.

 

Diamond T? A really old one if it is. Maybe a Reo? Maybe 1920ish?

 

Boy, I was WAY off...

 

That’s pretty cool. I have no idea why, but it makes me think of many different TW threads.

I thought that was:

 

<Waylon Jennings voice> "There's trouble and then there's trouble and the trouble with some trouble is at first...it dont look like trouble."

 

All the cars I found along a 70ish mile trail called the backbone trail that cuts through Los Angeles and into the Santa Monica Mountains. The Bug and the Duster were below a road so it is easy to imagine how they got there, but the unidentifiable one was not near any roads, and in a really rugged rock outcropping. Not sure how it got there.

 

That'd make a really cool hot rod.

 

Just to narrow it down more: It's got to be a 65-67 because it has the larger rear quarter window.
