This reminded me of a trip I made to Atlanta about 10 years ago.
Northwest of the city is a guy who has been collecting cars from all over
the south for years. Just parks them out in his front-less chicken coop or
in the woods.
I went there with an Atlanta car buddy who has been around and racing since
I was a kid. We went to look at an Alfa I had spoken to this collector
about. We counted somewhere around 123 cars in total. Among them was this
open-wheel Formula Jr.-sized derelict that none of us could identify. As I
remember, it had a Gordini engine.
Any idea what it might be? For all I know it is still there.
I often see this collector advertising one or more of his "retirement plan"
cars in Hemmings. Usually asking really high prices.
