Day 2 Wednesday- the speed limit is 80 MPH!
Those of us who deal with a 50 MPH highway speed limit are making this very clear to the nuts out here- if that is not fast enough for you get a grip! I had the cruise set at about 84 MPH and people were passing me - IF YOU NEED TO GO FASTER THEN YOU WORK TO GET PAST ME- AT THIS SPEED YOU NEED TO BE A LITTLE COURTIOUS
I get on the highway in the AM and the fog was so thick you could only see about 3 car lengths in front of you and then like a curtain pulled back with a sharp line the fog was gone, not faded away, just gone and the sun was out as I approached Murdo S. Dakota! Don't worry when I left Murdo a few miles out the fog returned again?!?!?
There were about 10 billboards leading up to the exit, even one showing a photo of Mike Wolfe from American Pickers. Mike bought a car from Dave here in one episode!
I got here early and for some reason drove past the place which was not open yet. I stumbled into this stash of vintage South Dakota Iron, CARHUNTER instinct even in the Bad Lands!!
Anything here you need?
The only hotel in town had this thing in front of it!
And now the BIG SHOW!
This "Big Car" lets us know it's the Big Show!
If you want to learn more about this very cool place read at this link, I have to say I was welcomed in like I was a family member and allowed to roam the back 40 even though it was no mans land for the last 3 months of winter!
The car actually exists!
A stash of stuff outside
Just after I took this photo I almost hit the floor on some ice!
Dodge Humpback's are pretty rare
There are a few cars for sale, a semi regular auction too. All these years and things still rotate.
Dave told me this AMX could be mine with 2 engines, sadly the previous owner lost both legs in a car accident!
Don't ask and I won't tell!
OK already, it is a hot rod manure spreader! No Shitaki, really!
Yes I need this desk!!
The first indication I am about to see some rare cars!
It's a ROPE drive!
There was just too much to post every car, also if I hide some stuff you might get out to Murdo and check it out yourself? Soon?
One word says it all and two engines power it!
Of course I lifted the flap, I had to!!
