Farmers can be a different bunch. May almost give it away or may not sell it for any thing especially if grandpappy took them to school in it. Look at your local farm auctions . Old cars are goog finds there everyone wants farm equipment there
 
please forgive my ignorance but, how do all these cars stay put with all the tornadoes that go on back there?:D

A tornado has a path width from a few feet to a mile wide if it's bigg'un. That being said, most only travel a short distance, 1/2 mile or less, with the exception being a long track one which can travel 100 miles or so, but they are somewhat rare. Since the footprint of a tornado is so small, its easy to see how lots of area would be missed.
One in a direct path might be moved, or it might not. Tornados do strange things, like totally destroying one house and leaving another untouched, then destroying the next! I would say it's just a matter of chance to where a car was sitting as to it being a direct hit or not.
 
I know

Actually thats how thes cars got where there at A F5 just dropped them there ! Oh and tornadoes can hit the same place 2 times and more:D

Tornadoes don't really scare me until the sirens are on and its on the ground. You get numb to the "watches". when I was young and dumb we'd grab a 12 pack and follow the storm chasers.
About them hitting cars it happens cause my 200r came from a a piedmont tornado monte ss.
 
Nice find but that passenger side looks a bit rusty [ddd I'm always amazed at how stuff stays preserved out there.......you guys have to bury them in the ground to get them to do that but here all we have to do is park that side towards the weather for a few years. :rolleyes:
