Typhoon at a tractor show flea market, heres some pics.

Just got home from the races, a few pics of some of the 400 cars that were there. We left early to beat the after the fireworks traffic jam. The Mustang funnycar ran a 4.13 in the1/8 mile on 90% nitro, it was popping stinky. Another car ran a 3.78 but I forgot which one. Had a great time!!!

I love going to the old time drags. the first ones at Fremont were just Hot Rods going down the track. as I recall the fastest car ran in the 11's. then the whole thing went nuts to where they build nostalgia cars just to cackle and not run down the track.

Went to a tractor show and bought this Schwinn Typhoon, what's wrong and right with it. There were other bikes there but nothing special. Happy 4th everyone.

Looks like an all original 70s Typhoon in good shape. Remove the dang paint scratchers (racks), clean & repack all the bearings and it will be a great original classic rider.

There were 100s of tractors, from steam to electric, bluegrass bands, tractor pulls, big turbine eng. they fired up every couple hrs. The flea market is huge, hard to cover it in one day. Plenty of Amish folk with there horses and buggies, massive car show. There's even a small town built inside the grounds with a school, general store, blacksmith shop, gas station, diner, etc. plenty of vintage exhibits. I was there for 3 days. Today we're off to the Independence Eve Explosion Drag races to see AA/GS cars and Bob Motts jet powered Kenworth, gotta get there early for a good spot.

Was this Denton, NC?

Yeah, if price was right, would have grabbed the girl pre-1955 20" Schwinn Jr. Ballooner S2 wheels.

Looks like a 70-80's's Typhoon but the seat does not belong as, it should be similar colored S type all the way to the demise around 1983. . Good news on that though is: Schwinn used that black vinyl seat on the Heavy-duty and 80-82 Cruisers. Meaning, U may have equal trading power for the right saddle.

I knew Bob pretty well in the mid 60's. I toured with my cousins A/FX and Funny Car teams " The McKesson Brothers " for a couple years.

Shawn, it was the Ashtabula County Antique Engine Club (they call it the big show) in Williamsfield, OH. Every year on the 4th of July. Google it, it's pretty kool. Alot of the locals clean out barns and buildings and bring it to sell. Ya never know what will show up.

The tractor show Typhoon cleaned up pretty good, removed the baskets, bell and mirror. Never liked all them extras. Is it supposed to have the red S seat?
