BIGGEST FIND YET!

[Stone]

I was told a week ago about an abandoned house in the woods near where I live. The land is owned by a collage so I got in contact with them and was given permission to look around. I couldn't locate the house but found this instead. I'm guessing it's a 1954 Chevy Bel Air 4 door. Maybe a moonshiners car, who knows but it's still very cool. Didn't find much else yesterday except for an oil lamp sitting next to a tree.

Congratz on your car! Don't try to clean it, you will ruin the value!

Nice catch on the date. Do you think it would be worth pulling some parts from it?

The brake backing plates are selling for $40 and up on eBay in used condition. I would definitely grab them and any other brake bolts and clips that are salvageable.

Looks like it fell out of the sky.

It still has the motor and transmission in it also.

Are you going to try and find the original owner? I'll vote honorable mention
