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

California Side-Yard Find: 1937 Cord 812 Beverly

This car wears a yellow California plate that was either added recently under year-of-manufacture DMV rules, or it has been on the car and unregistered since before 1962. So the car has either been sitting forever, or has been running and driving recently… good news either way.

So you like to see a pic of the other car next to the Starfire
Well here it is!

It´s an old customization made in the early 70´s on a 1962 Oldsmobile F85 Cutlass Sedan. Now it rests in the same old abandoned junkyard.

 

A guy I work with found this where he goes hunting. Looks like a T touring to me, but hard to tell from the small pics.

 

This was pulled out of the woods in north western Missouri a couple of years ago, its a 34 5 window. A buddy of mine bought it and is going to fix it, but it's rough. If anyone can do it I'm sure he can. Why can't I find this stuff?

 

DITTO, man! Nice find and a cool pic, too!!!

 

Looks like it's sitting in the Oldsmobile section!

 

some cool photos, also makes me sad.. i cant have even one of the 26-28 roadster back a few pages, they were stacked on top of each other. share man.. not sure why i like them roadster so much, just cool little cars, and everyone has a 32 it seems

^ If you're talking about these two roadster bodies, I talked to the owner (A nice guy in his 70's) as few weeks back, they're for sale. Let me know if you want his contact info.

 

Crap I need the pasenger side 1/4 off that 33/34 2 door sedan!!!!! That would give me my full 34 2 door body!!!! You are killing me! Jim

 

Two more car sitting rotting here in Sweden.

1965 Chevrolet Corvair.

Old Dodge drag race car.

 

Those aren't roadsters, their 26-27 T touring front halfs.

 

I wish this 34 was closer to me! does it have floors in it still?

 

Found this link of quite a few more. Interesting blog

a buddy of mine saw this on his last road trip

 

this car is in swden? i am in tallin! what would be the process of getting that car? i am not familar with european laws as i am from usa,but would love to build that in my off time here....

 

Here's mine a 1930 Plymouth, Series U, Rumble Coupe. I saved it but it has been a major project. I just love this old thing.

 

Here ya' go !

 

Damn... what's the story on that one? Is it burnt?

 

Looks like Swiss cheese on toast.

 

Neat old chopped '64-'66 Chevy stepside in a Mississippi junkyard.

 

I knew a guy once that was a stocker dude also. He had several 30-31 coupes, and a 33 coupe that was in rather good shape along with several old pickups. I tried to buy the 33 but he wasnt budging. I told the guy I was going to restore the car back to original. he says. "You're too young a fella to do that, I would rather see this car rust all to hell than have some hotrodder have it".

 

And a few more I found while looking for a certain picture,...

 

I really don't know what ever happened to this one,....

 

This is what I was looking for !!!

 

laughs, i guess he watched all the hotrod movies in the 50s.. damn hotrodders. LOL
chris.

 

I might have posted these before on this thread,... I took these pictures about 15 years ago. Nothing was for sale at the time ( He said it was a pain in the Butt, dealing with people for parts or entire cars,.. And it wasn't worth his time or energy).
I was told it was all crushed.

 

Wow, that makes me want to cry.

 

This ones on there sides were a 33' Dodge Sedan Delivery, and a 33' Ford Tudor,....

 

harms way how bout that first group of cars? are they gone too?

 

^ I dont know, I'd be happy to offer him $5-7k for that 33 Tudor. If that "isnt worth his time or energy" Lord knows what is, considering that whole deal would have taken about an hour tops. He could have made some pretty impressive coin on liquidating that lot. My guess is he was going about it the wrong way that would have lead him to the idea that it was too much hassle.

Crying shame either way. I hate it when old people have a thing against hot rodding old cars. Hey at least SOMEONE is enjoying it, which is a lot more then letting it rust into nothing-ness whereas nobody can enjoy it at all.
Why not sell it for a profit so everybody wins?
