An old WL would be awesome; better yet a UL. No telling what you'll find, but even "just" an older Ironhead Sporty or a K-model would be worth the price of admission.

Well if Geraldo Rivera shows up at the barn you know you're screwed!

Best of luck! Rooting for you to find some cool stuff! Search around for parts too!

Heard somewhere around my area a bunch of years ago, I guy collected over 25 Hemi motors. All original. Barn full of them on the floor. He died. So the wife puts an add in the paper to sell them. Calls them pile of iron and really cheap (dont remember the cost. Like $ 250.00 each or so) Guys come and buy a couple here and there. when they were all sold, the last guy stopped and asked if any where left, she said no. He asked her what she sold them each for. She told him. He then told her the worth each. She about had a heart attach!!!

I have no sympathy for ignorance. She should have done some research. When I was a kid, I saw hemis being used in pump houses in the oil fields that my dad worked in. He said they held up really well under long periods of idling for some reason .
