1961 bubble field find

[BBO Javelin]

This is a 61 bubble top that has been sitting in this field for 34 years.The interior is shot but the body is very solid and still wears it original paint.The car was sitting up on blocks so put some wheels on it and got it to roll then loaded it on the rollback.My plans are to fix the small rust areas then buff the remainder of the paint out,bag it,some ls power and 18 and 20 inch wheels and have it ready for power tour 2013.Oh and the best part is the guy gave me the car to just get it off his property.

[Brian Lohnes]

Hell effin' yes!

(BTW, the tandem axle roll back is awesome, too)

Sweet. Way to save one. Do you know what kind of power it had originally?

283 with a glide,I got the motor to it's loaded behind the car on the roll back.I think I'm gonna go LS power for this one.

[Scott Liggett]

Might as well. Won't hurt the value.

It makes me happy to see a car like that getting saved. Good luck on the rust being as light as you believe it is.

[Monk]

Great find......I'm old school
I'd hafta stick a W motor in it and let 'er rip.

Couldn't do the 20" wheel thing.

Couldn't do the 20" wheel thing.

I agree, I think it looks pretty good with the wheels that are on there but I'm so old school I'd have to go Super Tricks. I have a set, just nothing to put them on!
