29 miles since new... basically driven home from the dealership, and parked forever. Damn shame

Some rural mailman in WV bought this Scout new to replace his old one when it wore out. The old one never wore out so he only put 29 miles on this one. Then he died. Now it's in NATMUS, the national automotive & truck museum united states... it's right next to, or behind, the Auburn, Cord, Duesenburg museum in Auburn Indiana

the movie "Real Steel" is awesome, and has a cool International Harvester COE Sightliner as Hugh Jackman's mobile home/robot hauler... it's frickin cool






I hope they make a sequel... it is a no brainer in my opinion that this story line of a young kid and his absentee dad reuniting and getting a robot to win the world championship, is the newest in a line of Rocky, The Champ, Karate Kid  type feel good action movies... To let it go withough a great sequel of them continuing to be partners in the robot games, and further learning that the dad character has a lot to experience from his kids point of view .. that would be a shame

If you've already enjoyed the movie, you'll love reading this interview with Hugh http://collider.com/hugh-jackman-real-steel-interview-2/118641/ it sheds light on the characters of the kid and dad from Hugh's perspective as an actor helping out a young new actor. Great stuff. I read the whole damn thing, its that good



To learn more about the Sightliner, browse the Old IHC thread that was made when they filmed a sequence in Mid Michigan. ABC12 ran a short clip in the news September 20, 2010 3:35 pm, but don't have it available on the website... morons

More cool things I photographed at the Beatnik Blowout











Vise grips for handles.. .I like that

black an purple interior look awesome







Not many people do this type of beautiful paint on the dash.. this is really nice


A center console arm rest.... good idea!

cool eagle pieces.. they remind me of the eagles on firemen helmets
Double 1940 brake lights .. that's new

the far left gauge is a compass... I like that it's looking retro, probably isn't factory, but looks damn good






This car has gotten a lot of magazine publicity, and internet coverage this summer, and it deserves it.


These kids were just passing time in their parents car, amazing. I wouldn't have thought that anyone would let 5 kids hang out unwatched in a nice car.
