Old Cars Being Overtaken by the Elements

How old are those pictures?!?

 

Unknown except for clicking on the link on right above.

 

Yes. It a shame. People will let a old car rot into the ground before they will sell it.

 

A few I've run across in my travels

This warehouse I am assisting the widow selling thousands of vintage parts, has a STORAGE renter who WILL NOT SELL HIS CARS TO ANYONE-PERIOD. . ...so they just sit and rot'n rust into the dirt and dust...

 

I love those pics. Keep them coming.

 

This one is a 58 ford skyliner hardtop conv. Kinda looks like a velociraptor waiting to strike

 

That gto wasn’t all that long ago. I believe it was out here in Colorado.

In Iowa somewhere.. ..

 

Just have to be in on the next of kin list. No one lives for ever. And most of those kids or aers have no interest in that iron the old man collected up. What is sad is when the parts are loaded into a dumpster and off to the metal recycling place.

 

Nothing like a “someday” car, as in “I’m gonna fix it up someday.”

 

Unless these things are being kept in the California desert, most of them are probably so filled with cancer as to make them worthless.

 

And sometimes they can't get it right ...

Both pictures taken last week on the same property.

 

It's a total shame! I can understand guys not wanting to sell to "flippers" but if you know a buyer is genuinely interested and going to restore it (especially if he's been stopping in once a month for 10 years asking to buy the same car) just sell him the dam car! And let it live on instead of being selfish and watching it decay into the earth from which it once came. My uncle was forced to sell his 34 ford truck, itcwas his dream truck. He said to they guy " I want pics when it's done" five years later the guy kept his word and emailed my uncle pics of the truck. It was bitter sweet as he got to see it finally finished but was like tearing open a wound at the same time.
