Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

I dont know exactly but somewhere between deerlodge and butte
these cars where also on tha propperty

 

Is that a traditional gas grille? lol.

 

Looks like a mosquito catcher....burn propane to attract them.

 

Finally got some more from my buddys place today, so here they are, all these cars are for sale.... but be warned he is kinda high, if you are serious and have cash in hand I can get him to be a little more realistic but most of the cars he wants like $1500 each for....Jim

 

Idiot friend indeed. This was no show quality resto. It was nothing more than a spray and pray hack job. If you blow up the pics you can see cracking bondo and overspray. It probably looked like the truck shortly before leaving the US.

 

Would love to have those fins, how old is this pic, looks fairly recent.

 

my guess 70s?

 

I'm the one that originally posted it, it was from 1971.

 

YUP! You guys have no business letting good USA iron rot like that, send it BACK!!

 

I have room in Vail Arizona for those.
They can sit in line with the ones I swear will get done this year.

 

I found about 30 cars in a basement this week. I bought the Stang and the Bird. I tried pulling the covers back on the other stuff but got shut down quick by a very enthusiastic maitinence worker. Everything looked to have been sitting at least ten years. Some good stuff that I could see. sorry for the picture quality, but if you look you will see a bunch of cars.

 

'53 caribbean

 

These have been sitting since the 60's.

 

If still in good shape, someone should at least try to save the stainless off the Fairlane.

 

A mate of mine called me last sunday, and asked me if I wanted to tag along to go and check out a 50 Chevy Coupe Ute. When we got there, the old lady directed us around the back, and we found all these just sitting there. These are located North of Brisbane, in Queensland, Australia.







As well as these, we spotted this strange looking oddity that looked like it was built around an early 50's Chev chassis and running gear





We didn't come home with anything. The coupe ute just wasn't worth the 3k price tag.

 

Wow that "ship"thing is awesome.

 

^^^^^ I see two different coupe utes there.^^^^^ .Should have offered $3000 for both.

 

this just makes me angry very very angry......

 

Someone put a lot of time is this 'rocketship', any idea what it was based on ?

 

HOLY SHIT! That's a Dehavilland Mosquito fighter-bomber canopy on that thing!

 

The 'Bomber' car is unique, but whoever built this Chevy truck needs to have his tools taken away.

 

That bomber car is REALLY cool but for some reason I LOVE that Ford Bus looking one...never seen anything quite like that!

 

Yeah, I like that Ford bus, too.

 

That '58 Apache withe the 'late70s- early '80s Cadillac bumper is funny!

 

The guy must have been a buddy of the guy who built this one.....

 

It kinda reminds me of the vehicle in that early 60s animated "SuperCar" series:

It shouldn't. The pic was taken in '71, which means nothing there was anything more than an old clunker at the time. A '55 Chevy was a 16 yr old car in '71. Nobody seems angry that junkyards today have '97 Chevy's in them?

 

Yeah but today's cars are already junk in the showroom except for a few maybe. Anything that isn't HAMB friendly is better off in the boneyard, not as an eyesore on the road. Most of today's cars are just plain fucking ugly.

 

...and they were smoking the same shit.

 

Funny how closed-minded some folks are. I'll keep you in mind when I look at my '98 Camaro, '93 Silverado, the wife's '01 Silverado. I'll try to only see my '46 Studebaker, '64 C10, or the '48 Willys CJ2, though, OK?

My point was that being angry about a 40 yr old pic made no sense.
