UNbelievable <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif. That is indeed a treasure trove! Did u end up with any souvenirs of your visit?

[day2killa]

that is an amazing collection

[K code Mustang]

Incredible find

[Bill Pritchard]

Hmmmmmm, I can't IMAGINE why anyone would have wanted to break into that barn in 1994 <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/shocked.gif Man, that is some chunk of Mopar heaven there. Wonder what that radiator shell is with the word &quot;CHRYSLER&quot; vertically in raised letters on the side.....some type of industrial engine setup? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/confused.gif

[Devil]

That was a Hemi powered irrigation pump from the 50's. He had 2 of them!

Indeed, it was a cool place to see.

there used to be several hemi powered irrigation pumps in the local farm fields, many still operational into the 80's

[C1SS396]

Would be a nice collection if it were being stored and cared for ..Just looks like rare cars and parts being turned to scrap iron by a hoarder .Sad very sad ...

[jannes_z-28]

This is a cool Hemi powered machine that Don Garlits have:

I remember visiting Hugo Auto Salvage in Hugo, MN around 1979-80. They had a 426 Hemi running the body crusher the day I stopped by. I asked the salvage owner if he would sell the motor. Not a chance! He said it was the best one he ever used to run the crusher.

[mockingbird812]

Impending nuclear blast siren is very cool!

[Devil]

Atleast most of the stuff is out of the elements. I agree he needs to protect more of it though.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

All I saw was a pair of Yenko Deuce center caps! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

[Mr70]

..possibly 3 of em Marlin.

Unreal.....

[Canuck]

The was one of those Air Raid Sirens loacted on top of a govt building in my Home town St. John's Nfld. In sept 1961 my dad was driving us to school passing that govt building and we asked him what the machine was and he said an airraid siren that was no longer used. Within second the siren went off (on a test) but we did not know it was test. There were three sh#t scared kids that morning as we figured it was areal air raid.

Also saw these Chtysler engines power remote industrial plants as well.

Crazy. Cool to see, but what a waste.

If it was all found and accounted for a major part of the hobby would completely vanish. I'm personally glad people are still sitting on treasure troves of this stuff!

Wow, I never looked at it that way!

[budnate]

those old Hemi's were used on lots of stuff back in the day, they used them as mobile powerplants at airfields as well...pretty cool.

[Devil]

The old Hemi's pictures in the enclosure were from irrigation pumps from around the area.

You never know what you are gonna find out there.

he had at least 20 Hemi cars lined up in a field,and 2 big barns of hemi stuff

there was a video made of his cars back in the late 80's/early 90's

i dont know if Frank Mitchell bought all of his stuff or not.

[Devil]

I know of Ed's stuff. I know it is being bought by someone.

Here is a series of Blogs I am going to do to fully define the Barn Find.

Charger 500s are VERY cool but that '67 GTX is calling to me...

[Devil]

There was 2 x 1967 GTX's there, one Hemi car, and the 440 you see in the picture.

How about a Max Wedge car in the Weeds.
