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

A couple of 40 Ford coupes from San Francisco in the 80s. Wonder where they are now?

 

Maybe Harbor "Fright" tools or some other Chinese made crap?

 

that was bobs junk yard in lapeer, his retarded family scrapped it ALL. a real bunch of inbreds. asked to buy a 55 chevy steering wheel from them and asked how much, some crosseyed idiot said let me check in my book...it was a c.a.r.s. catalog ! I said you going to charge me for the price of a new one? he got all pissed and I told him to stick it up his a-s, I said no wonder no one comes here to buy stuff......it's a shame all the a-sholes seem to end up with a lot of these yards....

 

they didn't come out with car crushers till 1965 so im sure someone saved that old roadster ford......

Car crushers were around way before '65. I've seen pics of them from the 30's, so it's totally possible the roadster got crushed.

 

Found a Studebaker graveyard

 

few more

 

"Yeah, I'm gonna' fix 'em up, someday..."

 

Wow, those poor Studes are toast.

 

Saddest is the GT Hawk. These would rust even under good circumstances. The engine OTH will probably still turn over.

 

still sitting in my front yard.......

 

That looks like a painting.....very cool. JW

 

Found on Facebook

 

OT 1967 Mustang, but a must see sitting and rotting....http://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/clas...AAgAktj?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=SK2CDHP#image=AAgAEGH

 

What a waste! And I don't like Mustangs

 

Not just a Mustang, but a Shelby GT 500!

 

Looks like a 68 Shelby. If they had known it would be worth 50 grand someday I bet they would have taken better care of it.

 

I read the story. It is a '67 that was changed over to a '68. It also has drag racing history. The original owner/driver of the car is aware of it and it's location but has not been able to purchase it. Tough to see it sinking into the ground like that.

 

Thought maybe it was something a vengeful wife won in a divorce.

 

The story says it is a 1967 that was altered by the dealer to look like a 1968.

 

Hopefully it gets saved, but as dumb as alot of people are it will most likely be crushed and scraped.

 

They could buy a new single wide trailer if it was sold.

 

The owner would have you believe it is worth 50K. The motor and tranny are in the house trailer in the back ground, and can be bought for an additional 10K.

 

I seen this on the net thought it was a cool

I like yard art as much as the next guy. Its one thing planting flowers in a $100 heap, but why a Shelby ? like DAH!!!

 

Scroll back a bunch of pages to the `57 T-Bird....There was a woman involved in that story.

 

It might have been worth 50k if they had taken care of it. Now only worth a fraction of that.
