I saw that thing at Deam Moons shop in Santa Fe Springs, Ca around 1976. At that time it was no longer in use. It had been damaged at another location from one of our famous earthquakes. I've always had a penchant for odd rods... & that thing has been etched in my brain ever since. Another side note is that good friend of mine owns the old Troutman & Barnes building next to the Orange County Airport but I am sure that location came much later than the transporter build. Would love to see that thing in its glory again.

Im a little late to this but being that a transporter is essentially a "tool" and its previous owners modified it to move what they moved, it would be cool to leave the wheelbase and set the tracks at a more "average" distance to be able to haul more than just tiny 30s-40s racecars. If it was a racing car itself I'd be in the "totally original" camp but this is a utility vehicle, this thing could make any non running hunk look cool just by holding it

The audio really sucks on this one, which I’m bummed about. It would have been ready to redo if Geoff and I didn’t live at opposite ends do the country. They’ll be another one on it in the future with the new audio gear that’ll be much better. As far as too much info, the history is very important to us so that’s not something we’d generally dial back

Volume? Speed? What seems to be the main trouble?

@@UndiscoveredClassicsUSA Seems to be microphone issues. Would be nice if it flowed better with the information and points of interest on the chassis itself instead of the name dropping of people the viewer don't know. Stay on subject. Folks want to know how it was put together and not what your dreaming of putting on it. Like that it's getting saved. Someone asked. Just my $.02

Yeah, these mics have been troublesome for sure. Tried making some edits in the post production software I use, but I can definitely understand it not being great. Ingesting in a lot of new gear so hopefully those issues will be a thing of the past soon. As far as content goes, Geoff is a wealth of knowledge and it just kind of all comes out. I hear you though

@@UndiscoveredClassicsUSA It's like trying to carry on a conversation with someone who is 15 feet away and who keeps looking in different directions while talking. I was interested to know about this hauler, but got totally lost in the talk until I had to tune out. Next time try to fix the camera in place facing you at a normal range and tell the story clearly with no side obversations or quips. Then maybe add a 360 view of the vehicle with a voice over detailing the various mechanical/build features. Finishing off with whatever plans there are for restoration or offers for sale.

Looks like crap now. Recall photos of that.

It was in pretty much the same shape now as when Geoff acquired it. You can see how little has changed condition wise if you check out Tom Cotter’s video on it from years back. Hell, even in the vintage photo with the Moon graphics on it, there’s body work covered in spray paint visible back then too

It was rotting away for decades before our ownership and has been inside until recently
