Rusted Relic sightings

  1. That 32 5w pic is the coolest. I'd love to know the full story. Surely it's not still sitting there. Here are a few more of mine.....................New Zealand countryside, late 70's.

  2. New Zealand junkyard, late 70's. Levin I think. [​IMG]
     
  3. Horopito Motors, New Zealand, late 70's. [​IMG]
     
  4. My first hot rod project circa 1976' Bought it complete less engine for $75, only rusty in the rear panel. Stripped it down. Started boxing the frame and gave up. Pushed the shell over a bank. These things were very common in NZ back then and I really wanted an American car. Don't think I would do that today. [​IMG]

    That's a mighty curious looking plant growing in front of that truck. Maybe that has something to do with how the truck ended up on it's side.;)

    all that was left of a shoebox ford. just a few minutes north east of detroit MI. shelby township??? i forget.. anyway, a girl i was seeing actually took me to see the car cuz she knew i would get a kick out of it. i took what i could.... but there wasnt much left, the car litterally rotted into the ground(and was picked over), you can see the back of the springs in the picture. it was a swamp/edge of woods. i was gonna cut the thing out of the tree cuz it was in REALLY good shape. but i didnt want to get arrested when the huge fucker came down with boom! i think it was private property. i think the area got developed, but.. theres a chance its still there.

    it had a good set of rear window frames i believe(the body was in pieces) but i didnt have a chordless sawsall.

  15. Thanks for adding the info, Kiwi Kev! I'd like to go take a look at this one- where's it located? I was wondering if any of these pictures were in NZ. Were any cars made in NZ, or are they all imports?

    Thanks,
    Kurt

    Hey Kurt,
    Most of those pics were in N.Z. other then the A which I think got dug out and is in US somewhere, lots of the cars here were assembled here from imported parts (used to be high duty on imported vehicles to encourage the local assembly) so they are basically similar to the real thing, GM stuff was from Canada for the Pontiacs are 1/2 chev and the plymouths are 1/2 dodge kinda deal.....Mostly 4 door stuff after WW2 and lots less odd US stuff, pretty much British stuff and Chev/Ford/Dodge from there on.

    C'mon guys! Those pictures have to fake. Everybody knows there are no more old cars out there, not anywhere, to find, don't they?
