He also ended up with the Nicholson/Schartman "Ugly Duckling" '64 Comet wagon. In fact he buried the car after it was almost sawed in half by a flywheel explosion....
A bit off topic but I always wanted to "bury" a car for some odd reason...
And I now have the perfect spot! I have one large building lot left in my subdivision and it is mainly loose fill and trees so I don't feel like building on that one. The South side of the lot slopes big time down to a fence line. I have maybe 100-150 truck loads of fill on the high side that needs to be pushed over (down the hill to the fence line). The lot goes from the highest point on the entire 5 acres to the lowest point. Perfect spot to fill in with all that fill. I bet half a day with a D9 Cat would do the job. Might have to include a retaining wall to meet local requirements...
If I never get to my 1961 Belair project, that's where it's gonna go when I'm gone

Back in the 60 's I " buried several cars at sea" actually in our sand pit. Drove a 61 Chev dump truck with a 348 out on the ice. One car in the box and dragging one behind, to fish around. When driving off the pond the third trip I felt the tandems break ice. Good thing I had a little speed up.

Allegedly the car was dug up and "restored" in the 1980s.....LOL

The Thunderbolt in the top photo "Strip Teaser" is owned by a good friend of mine in Michigan.
Just met the guy who bought the strange stuff z11. Nice guy . He said he just got on this site around a week ago. Sounds like he's looking for the engine.
We were at the Detroit autorama, he's looking for a guy named Scott cornwell that lived in se Michigan

Thunder was the lightest Z-11 as the owner was an aerospace engineer and made many of the parts himself.
It’s REALLY light now!!
