Mack Technician 1,770 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 You always have a plan Dave, I’ve been witness to it. You kill an auction block and leave the owners broke and crying......but what the heck are you doing with old chopper bodies? How’d ya make money on THAT? Yard planters!??

Popular Post david wild 2,067 Posted May 22, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2020 I want to mount one on a one ton chassis and drive around like the hot dog mobile, like everything else one leads to two and then you have a yard full, worse part is there are 2 more in AZ to pickup and hopefully we will have a flying Mig 21 here soon, just not enough driveway to take a spin but do plan on running engine up just make the neighbors wonder what we are up to, more people bring their kids by to sit in the Helicopters and Grandparents too, we even had Wedding pictures taken with them, some people are strange, they all like the moving van too and it gets it's picture taken all the time, we are easy to find ask anybody in town for the place with the Helicopters and they will send you right to us. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mowerman 2,227 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Kind of interesting the copters look cool and yes I do like the moving van as well that rig was probably top of the line in it’s day ... bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h67st 1,240 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 The Ridgeway appears to be a 1953 Fageol Twin Coach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vladislav 3,006 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Ridgeway is an animal. I wouldn't say about the MIG but worth all the copters on my taste. Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to post Share on other sites

Happened to my sister that way. If your lawns decorated interestingly enough people come. Eventually a couple asked to get married on her yard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are a rare animal today.. Check with Jeff Lakaszcyck over on the Just Old Trucks website and he can give you more of the history and pictures of them. PM/Email me if you need his contact info..

Popular Post david wild 2,067 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2020 Yep 53 Twin Coach, got trailer from them also it can be seen in background behind copters, I think the 21 is cool and for a mere 75k i know where there is a KC97 tanker complete and a 97 converted to cargo that flies, as far as the Twin Coach goes I don't think there are many around and how many people in the USA have a Mig 21 in their yard ?? I figure if I'm gonna have lawn art I want something that most people don't have, ya know gotta be a little different. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Freightrain 2,522 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 The Fageol is way cool. Love to make a car hauler out of it. That would be very different showing up at the track. Leave it painted in original scheme. Buying a Mig 21 just to have? That is the ultimate in yard art. You likely won't have a neighbor with one?

harrybarbon 220 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 That Fageol seems to be maybe built on an IH running chassis, the front bumper, the front wheels look like the DCO Emeryville wheels and radiator louvers are same as the Inter R 190 ... series. With the body height it could be custom built inside into mobile home and retaining the original Ridgway external design and colours for it's heritage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
