Saved some LV's today....

[Red Fox Ranch]

This place we got the LV's from was out in the middle of nowhere Northern New Mexico, about 15 miles past Las Vegas, NM. This is where they filmed the show "No Country for Old Men" and I believe it! This homestead we picked up at started being built in 1856 or some time way back, it was very interesting...Note the 40 camoflauged with the adobe!

It was definitely strange up there, the further north we got, the more overcast it got, it was 20 degrees colder up there than in Corrales. I don't know if Onur will agree but it was kind of eerie up there, and just it's own place, the structures had walls that were about 2' think, and log roof structures inside, pretty cool, but kinda freaky too.

Can't forget one of Onur's signature pics...

Here's another cool thing, both LV's are 1964 models with the VINs only 412 numbers off:

4-FJ45-15087

4-FJ45-15499

Anyone know how many LV's were built in a day? Kind of curious as to if they were built in the same day? Pretty amazing to have two together that were that close of production.

Here's the story, the kid I bought them from had restored the orange and white one, then rolled it after a drunken stint out in the sticks. He had seen the other LV in town and run into the guy once. Then after some time someone told him there was a wagon for sale, he thought it was a 55 until he showed up to see the LV!

He was going to restore the one until he lost steam... glad to have 'em now!

Thanks for the pics, and yeah, you should have picked up and rescued more cruisers along the way!

Yeah, shoulda... we could have fit 2 more wagons on there for sure! That's one "big bitch" 53' long with flip outs front and rear to hang tires off to fit more. I was outta money after the 45s though, if we could have found some donors along the way I would have loaded them on too!
