Very very cool car, I love those fins on the back!
They dont make cars like that anymore!
And the John Deere, its looking awesome.
Theres just something about those old JD's that no other tractor has been able to replicate, they are awesome!

He has pics on here when he was working on it a few years ago. I think it is red and black. I believe he had plans to put a 255 flattie in it. He may have some pics in his gallery.

Yep Corner Gas got it right, but I lucked out and the P/O did a 255 crank swap. Before dying in 1968 I had pics on here before its all shiney now, I love that ol'girl. I'm at the farm now on my Blackberry but once I find a real computer Ill post a pic here.
Update on the Johnny just adjusting valves right now, just put in radiator and mounted seat. Not sure what it has for compession but it feels decent which I'm relieved. The valves from the John Deere are so big they don't fit in my valve grinding machine so through trial and error I farmer rigged my lathe and Die Grinder together HAHA, but I guess by the grace of god it worked.....
