I always like seeing the pics of old cars burried or in the woods. Post what you got. What prompted this was I remember seeing a thread were a guy found some cool old 20s 30s model 5window burried. It had a strange design on the top of the cowl. Everyone was trying to figure what it was. Thanks guys.
This is one of my favorite shot's i took at a friends private yard..Cool thing is, both of these car's have been saved..glad i got the the picture before they were removed. Sorry for the shitty quality, i think i messed it up back when i sized it.. Tony
nice pics guys. I would have to dig some of the ones I have seen up. Even if it was just to have behind the barn as yard art. Esp some of the old model A's and 20s cars and trucks. If they couldn't be saved I would like to build a tube jungle jim for the kids and attach the sheet metal around it. Sand it slap some paint on it. Put a stearing wheel in it they could spin and let the younger generation fall in love with hot rods.
The belt line of the buried A would have made my day 6 months ago! Those coupe qtr parts are a bitch to source.
I never did get any pics before the guy crushed out, but he had probably 70 or so Fords in his "yard" that was a forrest. The coolest one out there was a '53 2dr post with an Olds in it. It was in 'sand country' so it was way in the ground. Almost every car there had trees growing through it. I've always wondered what adapter or tranny was in that car........
Not Hot Rods but here,s 3 images that are worth seeing again. None of these are mine so the details stay with......?
Here is a couple that I picked up over the years...never seem to have a camera with me when I get them....
OMG 61-62 Vette and 67 RS (?) Camaro. A small fortune. did you get the old "I'm gonna fix 'em up someday" line. Daddy want that vette, where do we go, who do we gotta kill?
I agree with retrojoe. this picture makes me want to hurl! so much good metal all piled up. ARGGHHHHHHHHH
Here's one I found Sunday while out riding around. It's a 1926 Dodge Roadster. It's sitting on a guys farm, but belongs to a friend of his. It's for sale for 13K but no way he'll ever get that. Lots of bondo and been sitting there for the last 10 years. The owner of the farm says if the guy doesn't come and get it soon or lower the price so he can actually sell it hes just pushing it over the hill in the back of his field because hes tired of mowing around it. And an old Ford truck I found the same day...
The saw blade near the rear of the model a cowl only frame looks like one my buddys family had for cutting firewood you blocked up the rear end, took the tire off the wheel and attatched a belt over the wheel and pulley, threw the puppy in gear and the saw blade was used to cut firewood for the wood burning house furnace. It was so damn dangerous and exciting all at once. I remember in the summer cutting cookies in the hay fields with the rear wheels on and driving the bodyless A all over the farm, At about 10 years old this was real exciting as well. A little history for ya all. Sololobo
