Those M body 15x7s will give that Dodge a great stance!. I bet they were cheap.

That's an old collection! What is that bubbletop? A Pontiac ? With blinds none the less! I'm pretty sure that '71-'74? Roadrunner? Hood, covering the Stutz? Is worth something. Anyone know what that aluminum frame is from?

73 or 74, can't see if it has vents or not to know the year for sure.

Please enlighten me on this one Will.

Sure. As soon as I find out, you'll be the first to know. Looks to be a 50's custom made vehicle.

I plan to check it out, will report back.

I think so to, with a set of 235 x 15's. They weren't as cheap as I was hoping, but still glad to get them.

I didn't inquire about it because... "Hello, My name is Will, and I'm a car-oholic". I'd just end up with another vehicle I don't need.
I will likely break down and inquire about it.

That's one of those situations where I say:
I MUST RESIST
I MUST RESIST
Then I ask anyway and wish I hadn't, because I risk ending up with another vehicle I have no time for.
"Hello. My name is Ben, and I'm a caraholic too"

The frame is a early 50's MG. Not aluminum but painted silver.

I'm thinking a little newer. To me it looks more like my '62 TR4 frame or my MGB.

Neat place Will, thanks for documenting your visit.
That yellow Auburn replica thing has the wheels I’ve been not searching too hard for...

4 lug VW???

4 lug VW???

Well I figured the bolt pattern would’ve been wrong but I didn’t look at them that closely to see that they were only 4 lug.
I bet those are really rare!

I was told it was MG by the yard owner. Did they carry the armed friction shocks through to the 60's ?

I had a ‘73 TR6 that had them.

My 62 TR4 and my '72 MGB both have the lever arm shocks. I was thinking later because the upper a frames look exactly like both my cars, and because of the disc brakes up front. I thought the early MGTD's had drums all the way around, but i could be wrong. Interesting pic and discussion .... Thanks.
I'll take a look at my FSM's and see if they have more pics.
