    I recognize a few cars in there that I know have been saved. Lots of others I'd love to own and save myself!

    I've seen junk yard dogs, first time I've seen a junk yard bull !
     
  21. That's how I found my Model A drag car! They all deserve being saved. History in its purest form.
     
  22. Sad for sure. On a lighter side, a few were indoors as well as a few that were on trailers looking as if they were being rescued

    The Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe @ 35 seconds was sold for $4,000,000 in exactly the same condition as you see it on the video.
     
  28. Cool thanks for posting.

    Since i'm not real computer smart, is there a way to save a pic off that? 3.00 there's the T. Someday i wanna build something like that, and have been saving pics for ideas

    Like the song said, "don't mess with the bull he can get real mean". Seriously, some really high dollar cars going to waste. Most of them though are prob. being restored.
     
  30. Is this the one that was walled up or something? If so, any links to the story?
