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

Not even close, but I agree, someone should try to save it.

 

That was a 51 or 52 Chevy 4 door in the pics above. Looks like it's still got a good set of rear bumper brackets, maybe a crummy core bumper if anyone would want that. Doesn't look like much else salvageable, though.

 

WOW! Like it or not, what a shame.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

all that hard work just for it to be dumped in a forest. what a shame. its definitely not a deora, as its a ford, and it has side doors, (that i notice now) with the picture having them open) if anyone knows where that is and has a way to get a bill of sale/title for it that would be an amazing thing to save, would it be considered a traditional kustom? might be a few years late to the '65 cutoff.

 

Strange how something with so much work done to it ends up in a tree row.

 

even the most legendary Kustoms; think the Golden Sahara ii; sometimes end up abandoned for years, the lesser known ones often get a similar, or worse fate.
only the lucky ones survive as they started.

 

Truck hoard in NW Washington State. Being cleared out. The Ranchero was listed for $1,500.
UPDATE: Happy to report all trucks were sold, none went to scrap.

 

Seen the Ranchero on Craigslist

 

I have pictures of rust in spades

 

Sign in picture says '63 Econoline. Name looks like Don or Dan something.

 

Aussie-built Prefect, sitting out the front of panel beater's workshop

 

Cool, but why are the tires whited out?

 

I would like to know also

 

I guess 22 inch wheels

 

Its rotting who cares if it has big rims, they were probably roller wheels anyway

 

The wheels are modern, large diameter, very 'bling'. They wouldn't even be attached to the Prefect. I thought I might need to paint them out for this site. (?) And I had just worked out how to paint things out ...

 

"Strange how something with so much work done to it ends up in a tree row."

I was shocked when I saw it in the trees in that condition. Saw that car on youtube like 5 or so years ago all put together but don't have a clue what the actual upload date was anymore. Think it was already starting to rot then because I don't remember the engine, red velvet but nothing like that picture. I remember the black paint, the flame, the body chopped design the wing and especially the cougar taillights. I recognized it right away without the show picture which I am not sure if I ever saw it when it was done. I know it was on a you tube video about the 70's style show van eras and how some were being brought back to life.

 

Oh that black van I was talking about above also had like the cougar flip up grille/lights on the front besides the cougar taillights.

Although this is not my style, it is a shame to see it sitting there.
