DEAD 1977 pontiac police car cheap..

[Snattlerake]

Can't be an old cop car was what I was going to say until I saw this.

and the similar two holes on the passenger post.

Where did the second dome light go? Our last car had a switch for white and red lamps.

How did I miss this post?! I’m late to the party, and I’m jealous!

Me too

That trailer is wee bit overloaded.

@swampratt is the official Quality Assurance testing authority for Engineering Margin of Safety checks.
Any structural failure is due to insufficient Safety Margins - not because of structure over-load conditions.

Said no Redneck EVER!






That trailer has hauled stupid loads and this one is super light weight.
I think the most load ever would be a toss up between a huge tractor and brush hog or the 3 pallets of Thick dirt sod that weighed 3,500 per pallet.

This trailer hauled my 57 Chevy home from Watonga and hauled a 1957 Nomad from Ohio to OKC.

No issues.
I built it and used a 1956 chevy truck frame and a lot of cross braces.
Boat axle from a 21 foot 350 powered ski boat.
Square dropped axle and I have it set up to bottom out on some tire sidewall when you put a load on it so none of that swaying back and forth bouncing on springs.

Single axle with 5 lug and car tires. The car and trailer are over 4000lbs at minimum. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

I have worn many sets of tires out on this trailer and that is a lot of miles this has been pulled for the last 20+ years and No issues so I can and will continue to use it for everything I need it for.
I have had only 2 blow outs in 20+ years and those were unknown used tires.
My trailers including my boat trailers always have excellent tires on them and bought new.


I can see a trailer built by someone else fail but not mine.
Trailer weighs 1,200 lbs empty.


This car will donate a lot of it's parts to various vehicles.
Should be fun.
I almost got it to start ..cranked over and coughed a few times.

I admire Swampratts energy.


Edit: .....This thread is growing. Should this be moved from classifieds to general?
