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?

Re: This change wasn't good for us Detectorist

Looks a little too far gone to me .
 

Re: This change wasn't good for us Detectorist

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

Re: This change wasn't good for us Detectorist

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!

looks like my old cj 7 before i sold it fer 1800 bucks,,,, the only good thing it had was the motor
 

Re: This change wasn't good for us Detectorist

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.
