Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How old were you when this was built?

I was 18 in '62. Our family was driving on vacation near Corvallis, Oregon, on a Saturday in late August. Traffic slowed to a crawl as it snaked around cop cars at an accident site. As we passed the wreck I asked my dad to brake for an instant. I leaned out the car window and with my old Kodak 35 took a photo of the wrecked car, a TR-3, lying in the roadside ditch.

We decided to stay in Corvallis for a few days, so on Monday I visited the office of the local newspaper. I told the editor I'd taken a photo of the wreck and handed him the roll of undeveloped film. He passed it to the paper's photographer with instructions to process it immediately.

Later that day I walked back to the paper's office where the editor handed me a check for $5 for taking the front page photo.

A threaded hole with an oil stain?

Also that head is not bolted on, just resting there. I’ve coated all the cylinder walls with a coating of axel grease

Same as I’ve done for several mopar big blocks I’ve got stashed away.
