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

Found these yesterday. 54 Ford 2 door sedan for sure and possibly a Merc. A few cars totally destroyed laying here and there but couldn't tell what they were originally....

 

Denied access to the location.My guess is the crusher gets them.

 

I feel your pain. I've been trying for 5 years to get a 55 stude president out of the foothills and snow. The trunk still holds water and is 100% complete. Its just disgusting disheartening and all around shameful. I hate people.

 

I think the old man (bosses father who started the business) pulled that trunk lid for his little Dodge/Ford roadster he is building. He decided that he needed to build a 'rat-rod' because "I've built lots of nice cars, I want to build a cheap car".

 

Studebaker.


So long.


Backyard full of old Chev pickups.

 

I have this pic and many more of a yard that USED to be around here. Will post more as I find them.It WAS a treasure trove...

 

Here are a couple more...

 

No,HERE are some more...

 

there are TWO original 57 Chevy, shortbed, stepside trucks in my area that have been sitting out in the elements for at least a decade. i talked to both owners and offered $800 for one that was sunk into the mud up to it's floorboards. neither will sell. the one that's in the mud ran before he parked it. the other that's on concrete runs and he starts it every now and then. he doesn't understand that it's rusting from the inside out. the entire body is almost devoid of paint and now has a rust patina. it's very frustrating....

 

If it's OK to post a picture of a 'Cuda, I can't resist posting this one. About 5 years ago, a friend's daughter who was in college in N.C. sends him these pics of this '71 'Cuda behind a closed auto repair/car lot. She's into cars, and says the rumor has it that it's a Hemi. We drive about 400 miles to see it, and manage to track down the property owner's ex-wife. She says just leave well enough alone and don't ask questions-a title or vin problem-he won't talk to anyone. He took the car in trade when it was nearly new and got screwed. She said it's a 440/4spd., and that she drove it for a while until the discrepancies arose.

 

here is one i found just down the road from where i live...i believe it is an international.

 

That looks to me to be a Corvair Rampside pickup.

 

56 pick em up i've been tryin to get out of my aunt's field for a year. has a 327 in it. frozen drums and an always muddy field keep slowin me down.

 

More Mopars....

 

Some from Australia

 

Man, thats enough to make any car guy cry

It ain't purdy boys, iffen yall gots a week stummick, don't look

 

sad, this whole thread is a train wreck.
you know it's going to be bad but you have to look.

 

Probably stolen..

 

Someday

 

whats the deal with the truck that Toddc posted it look like it has a 32 grill shell, what is that?

 

If you can, snag the latches from the side ramp. They are the same as for a 55 - 58 Cameo tailgate.

 

Its a Fargo.

 

Not sure if this counts as one car or two.

 

Are those 2 fricking airflows butted together???

 

This 56 Chev was sitting rotting untill it followed me home. Came with original steel rims on the car with tires that wouldnt air up. Plus the spare tire still in place. (Z-28 rims for rolling purposes) Original 265/Powerglide. (which actually runs!) It's going to donate some parts for my 57 150 Handyman.
