This change wasn't good for us Detectorist

I was walking a field looking for arrowheads this morning. Looked around in
the woods and found these. Do you think this old peddle car could be an
American Restoration project or REJECT?

What a shame. If it was in restorable shape it would be worth a lot. Someone just left it out to rot.

I think it is to far gone but you never know. I would send the picture to the restoration guys website and get his opinion. I had something like that when I was a kid. It was a tow truck and I would hook up and haul away the neighbor kids tricycles. Nice find!

Are you prepared for the price to get it restored Rich? Oh man, I'm in the wrong biz!

Just a little too much gone there. Some of my favs are the older sled hills long gone and forgotten. I have found numerous wrought iron rails from old sleds on them but that's all that's left of them.

I think the beer cans might make an easier and much cheaper restoration project!

Thanks for finding a pic Soup.
I'm NOT even thinking of a restoration for this. Those guys on american restoration could get it back to new.
I just thought it was a cool find made of metal and now is mostly rust.
