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

The 8 door mopar

 

I don't have a picture but when I was 16 and had my first hot rod I went to a local "speed shop" to buy some parts. It was just a guy who had a steel shop that built race engines on a small plot in the middle of a medium sized city near my hometown. I saw an older convertible sitting out back and it was in pretty nice shape. After getting to know the guy I started asking about the car. He bought it new back in 67 and I first saw it in 1981. He told me it needed engine work and had all the parts to fix it but just hadn't had time to get at it. I asked if I could look at it and he took me out to see it. It was a 67 Belvedere GTX coverable with a 426 hemi, 4 speed car. He told me someone stole the emblems off it. The car was complete otherwise and only had 60k on it. The grass and weeds were growing up around it.
I haven't been there in about ten years but the last time I was there it was still sitting in the same spot. The weeds turned into trees growing up around it. Such a shame to see it fossilize and slowly sink into the landscape. I'd be willing to bet it's still there.

 

Hey there, I went through a bunch of pages and saw a ton of my pictures on here. I travel around and document Barn Finds and Hidden Gems. If you enjoy this sort of content, I post all the time at the links below pictures, videos, etc...

Let me know if you have any questions.

I've got a TON of pics, mostly just fuzzy drive-bys, but sometimes I get to stop and do some good photos.....Random car spotting is a big past time of mine.....I'll try to keep the ones I post here in the pre-'65 range, but I have a shit-ton of muscle and pickups from the '60s-'70s too.

 

^^^What area are these photos from? Lots of nice old iron.

 

I'm in Montana, most of this is within an hour or two of me....I've got a LOT of pics.....honestly the chopped/hardtop Ford is one that a friend in Florida sent me, but other than that.....

 

yep....the most valuable parts are already missing.....

 

I know where there is a Fargo.

 

Probably in Ontario?
