Hey Garage Gnome I found your next project...

[Ryan_M]

In case you need a belated birthday present to yourself next year, I can tell you the whereabouts of this critter:

[F Bill]

Yes, but can you tell him how much that thing WEIGHS?   Gonna be a fun load.. Surprised it hasn't gone for scrap...Neat toy.

[garage gnome]

Holy $%&@! Yeah, that would be a pain to move. Why don't you get it a fix it up?  

[johnrb3b]

Yeah
OK
But
The real question is -
Does it run, so I can drive it home?
 

Is this one of those "It ran when I parked it" deals?

[BMIC]

It's the same old story, the 3A is faster but the Buffulo brakes better.... Gnome help me here, your just not interested or you already have one?

[garage gnome]

I just don't have the means to move it nor do I have the time for a big project like that. Chances are, the engine will need a complete rebuild. You would need a low boy and maybe a wide load permit to move it.

It is awesome and looks to be complete, but just TOO big for me! Would make a great project though for someone.

Ok, so first we need to find Nate a Sikorsky Air-Crane to restore......

I thought Buffalo Springfield was a rock band from the 60's?

Yes, a '60's rock band that allegedly found the inspiration for their name from a rig similar to the one pictured above. From Wikipedia:

Taking their name from the side of a steamroller, made by the Buffalo-Springfield Roller Company, that had been parked on the street outside Friedman's house (where Stills and Furay were staying), the new group debuted on April 11, 1966 at The Troubadour in Hollywood.

I've read elsewhere that one of the guys actually pried the data plate off and hung it in the band's practice space.

Although I kept waiting for something to happen, I did not feel the urge to write and record any classic hits after seeing this roller. I still can't play guitar either. Guess I'll have to keep my day job for now. �;D
