It sat at 1701 Carbonado Road in Oskaloosa forever until it was moved a few years back. If you look up the address on Google maps you can see the car still sitting there!!!

You have to go by the house and come back from the east on Google maps and you'll see it sitting to the right of the house, straight off the road. I'm attempting to add a screenshot of it now but I've never done it before so knows if it will work?

In the 90's it was sitting up closer to the house on Carbonado Road but that is where it was sitting when I looked at it and got stung by the wasp in 2015 or 16. After it was moved from Carbonado Road it ended up on the corner of North Market St and H Avenue East. Google maps doesn't show the address for that house so unfortunately I can't give you that address.

Great find. Any chance you would share the vin? If you don't want it public but are willing to pm it so I can add it to the db myself and a few others have. Thanks.

Well... I just tried signing up for MCACN "Barn Find" display, and it apparently sold out while I was filling out the info. I never displayed there before, so I assumed I needed an invite until someone told me otherwise.

Send Bob Ashton an email and explain what you have and a couple pics. He may well "find" some more room for you...
They outgrew their little corner last year and had more on the main floor.

We pulled the diff cover off to see what we have inside.
Knowing it was an 1/8-mile racer, I expected some deep gears... 43/7 = 6.14 gears Pinion has several chipped teeth.

I have an extra set of 4.10s to put in it, and get back to its factory ratio.

Please leave the 6.14’s in it. That’s awesome.
