What is this ? Auto ID
 
Found this yesterday, looked pretty fancy what is this and what's it worth?

Badge said RR - Rolls Royce ?
Looks pretty Western in this condition.

Dog ugly, some custom Roller sporty thing from the 50's is my guess

Sort of looks like a Kasier Darrin. Although the K.D. was fiberglass and the doors dropped into the rocker, they were lookers allright... gag.

I don't know what that is but where is that junkyard??? My kinda place.

Rick V 06-13-2012 02:04 PM

I would say about $125 in scrap metal, provided it was separated.

DrBarrett356 06-13-2012 02:12 PM

Is there any chance you could get some more detailed pics of this? Some shots of the engine and undercarriage. Please?

Doors are wrong for a KD.

It looks very "cobbled together". I'm thinking it was some sort of home-built project. Probably by some deranged aircraft mechanic that has a lot of extra sheet metal and screws laying about.

No idea what that thing is... looks sorta like an old 190 Benz, but the hood shape and size is wrong.

Whatever it is, it has had a lot of sheetmetal scabbed onto it... MT, were you surfing CL, or did you see it in person? If in person, were those rivets or sheetmetal screws?

Looks like it might have had the beginnings of a boat-like teak deck over that rear section at one time...

Found it in a junk yard in Gallatin Gateway Montana 12 Miles south Of Bozeman I stop once a year to see whats in there.

Never seen anything like it. It's weird for sure. Fabric & Wood

This guy has been around for years, he's crazer than a rat in a coffee can. He does get top dollar for his inventory. No one was around to ask

Always some interesting stuff to look at lots of old pick ups

Homebuilt .... if it had a hood it would have to been huge to cover over the rad.

Naaah.... I'm building mine out of tubes and fabric.



I sure am liking that Mutual Coal Co truck.

What kind of yellow truck is that next to the car? It looks like it is 4x4 which is pretty rare for a pickup that old.

GWN7 06-15-2012 12:34 PM

It could be a Napco conversion (4X4)

I know a guy who bought a rear end wrecked totally destroyed Masareti Mexico, cut the front 3 feet off and firebricked it and turned it in a backyard fire pit. Headlights which worked, grille, bumper totally cool. He bought it for $3K and sold the Borranie wire wheels for $2K

Looks like an International Harvester.

Tim is correct.
International.

Can't see the grill, but I'm thinking about 1952-ish.
