What am I Bid?

[Mother Deuce]

Last fall, I came home to find this lovely lawn ornament decorating my front yard. My husband has always been something of an artisan, but this was beyond his usual decorating genius and it really complimented the green of the front lawn.

Not to be outdone, a second object d'art arrived just 2 weeks ago. Note how the wheelbarrow base contrasts nicely with the tire-on-pallet design.

Unfortunately, we are going to be moving and do not have the appropriate landscaping for these lawn sculptures in our new environment. And beeeeautiful as these sculptures are to the trained eye, prospective buyers of our home are not likely to agree.

I am torn between a silent auction, a post under Classifieds, or a post under Yard Sales. Suggestions are welcome.

I should have clarified that. The shovel is actually not part of the sculpture. It has some utility. The wheelbarrow is irrevocably bound to the sculpture. If you look closely you can see how artfully this was done.

What size is the tire? I don't need a pink motor, but if the tire is the right size it might be worth it. Who paints a motor pink?


And Kathy, if Mark sees this you better sleep with one eye open. At least the transmissions haven't found their way into the tub!

I'll take the six in the barrow... I could always put that in the pos boat I have and watch it sink!!! collect the insurance and then get a nice motor for the jeep!

Seriously I if the six is a 4.2 I will come get it tomorrow after work...

 

[Cherokeester]

Stabbed right through the heart! ARRRRRRGGGGGG!!!!! Actually the 6 is a 258 out of an 80 CJ. It does have a Weber carb and it runs great. If anyone wants it, come and get it. The 401 on the tire IS NOT FOR SALE!. There will be a 304 available soon however.

PM me if you are interested in the wheelbarrow art.

 

[gijohn40]

sent you a pm...

When ya got a lot of jeeps, ya need a lot of art.. I mean parts.

 

[Cherokeester]

Well we got lots of Jeeps but not near enough parts in my opinion! (oh, shhh, here comes the wife...)

:redneck: About 2nd East and Center street in Pleasant Grove has a much nicer yard than yours.... I think everyone should drive by and take a look.... Scoutabout can vouch for this... BTW, if you do drive by, the lean to is actually part of the living quarters for the house.....

I don't think that tire is rated for the weight on the sidewall. I like the wheelbarrow though.
