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

Here's a car that we can play "what the heck iz it" with.



This '50 Chebby ain't too shabby.

 

I'm just up by Leduc, I'd love to come out and look if that was okay?

 

My Wyoming neighbors/ buddy's know this yard...

 

Looks like Bill you are a winner!

 

Blake (left) and Mike Yager of Mid America Motorworks pose with the 1957 Corvette they recently unearthed from a barn just 40 miles from their business’ corporate headquarters in Effingham, Ill. According to Mike Yager, the Corvette had been parked for 35-40 years and, “needless to say, this thing has had possums sleep in it.”

 

It's always exciting when real "barn finds" happen-- It's an enchanting experience to say the least... The '57 'Vette looks great, despite its weathered appearance, it still holds its own after multi decades of slight decay... And the interior photograph speaks volumes of just how "style smart" the Chevy folks were when they designed it... The possums who were sleeping in this ride must have had real class... "The Doc" (Celebrity Drag Racing Authority & Visionary)...

 

and the trailer is killer too..............

Later, Bill

 

Not trying for drama, it's their car to do what they want. But I don't understand that this Corvette will never be washed or made run. I understand "barn find", I just don't understand leaving it look like it's still in a barn, opossum poop and all. .

 

I'd be trying to drag enough chunks out of there to weld up a stock car body at least. Cool find!

 

Yeah absolutely! Or just let me know what you're after. I have tons more pics of the same vehicles, I just haven't uploaded them due to the "bore factor" of those that may not be interested. I also uploaded a few more pics, so check again if you'd like.
The farm is located 45 west of Assiniboia, on highway 13. Its about a 600km drive. Also I found a MINT '37-38 international 1.5ton truck I haven't taken pics of. I also have a few names & numbers you can call of people that have huge collections in their own yard.

Just PM me if you'd like

 

Good thing that vet was on a trailer,,,,,,It became a flotation device.

 

A corvette I am trying to buy/trade for

 

Wow....good luck on that one. That's even worse than a basket case 58 a buddy and I did. Keep us posted if ya get it! Later..........

 

Just bought a 69 Mach 1 that had been in storage since 1983. It's cleaning up pretty good. Ron

 

found these today around the 10,000 foot level in Colorado!!
ID them if ya can..left looks like a ford/merc 41ish?? right one ??

 

I found one of these too a couple years ago here in nor-cal..they guy said he thinks it was an early version nascar and that its a 63...badge is a lemans...missed the driver side badge...ill get it next time and inquire about the engine size...think he bought it new.

 

47-48 Ford and a 46-48 Plymouth.

 

after looking around for a while i think the ford is a 46 due to the roof antenna, grooved exterior moldings, and the rear trim pieces on the rear lid...

 

I forgot about the grooves, I was not able to see the park lights so i went with the later years... and i should have known better, my dad has a 46 Ford Hearse!

 

What a shame, isnt that also a Rolls Royce in the back ground or a Jaguar?

 

Looks like a Jag.

 

'63 was a wild year for Pontiac, then the company got out of racing a while. I seem to recall that, IN THIS SAME BODY, they did the ULTRA-RARE 421-CID, for that year only. Poncho historians? Help me on this one, please! (One source I read said they even sneaked the 421 into the car, still carrying the 326 badging!)

 

Not many cars sitting on the Cape, Lands too valuable here...

BUT this motors been sitting on the side of a trail to a local landmark for at least 43 years that I know of...

 

Area Private Yard

 

Just got back from a 4 state trip and found these on Nevada US 50 near Great Basin National park. Unfortunately I had no way transport them.

 

REALLY wanted to bring this home....

 

Oh man, how could you pass on that? That thing is perfect...

 

Found this one in Arizona. A Chevy, but I don't know what year.
