Here's another one down the road:

Reference #3183

good bye tree!

 

Still sitting there.

 

^^ I believe I know where this one is.^^

 

a 1941 willys coupe sitting and rotting in kansas with no intention of building it, sad.

 

I'd be all over that!!!!

 

At least it's inside

 

Show up with a stack of hundreds and see what happens......

 

Someone cares enough to put her on rollers and keep her warm and safe inside, what's the story? Yours?

 

Can you get a closeup of the windshield/frame behind the hood?

 

this is an old picture, it's sitting outside in kansas.

 

White 46 Ford coupe in a blizzard?

 

Past this ford coe today, looks to fit the bill....sittin and rottin.

 

Im going nuts up here. I've been looking for any model a body for years, and I cant even find a mangled pile of rust. I found a Tudor body in a guys garage, but "he's gonna build it someday"

 

oh fuck

 

Not sure what to do about this one! It's been sittin by a shop for awhile and when i stopprd to take these pics some big scary guy came out and said "you want it take it away, it's full of bullet holes!" Then he walked away. I dunno if he owns it or meant it?!?!?! Now the brush is startin to overtake the front of it. Cool ride though, anybody know the model of this Merc? Not up on em.

 

^Coolest lights ever???^

 

Okay,
Let me help with this situation. I have a very nice heated garage with a new addition that i could put this right into. It would even have cousins as garage mates. Maybe a PM with some info

 

Here's a few more.

 

It's not that bad. Just an old plastic Chevy.

 

59 Mercury Monterey 2 door Hardtop Cruiser

 

drove past that car alot on Hackensack St on my way to White Mana.

 

Thanks nmcarnut! And White Manna is the BEST merc-o-madness!!!!!! I think I was comin from there the first time i saw it!!!

 

That one Chevy truck reminds me of some of the cars my family had before they got moved away from my grandmother's house. Now that I think about it one or two might have part of a tree attached still.

 

I think '58 Edsel wagon lights are cooler. This one sits in a local yard. Scored the lights to use on my camper.

 

This big window '56 has been sitting at this house for at least 40 years that I know of. I'd bet so many people have knocked on the door trying to buy it as a few years ago the guy put up the planter boxes around it.............prolly a message in that.

 

I would love to get a hold of that 36, looks like a great one to fix up!

 

40 years-it's officially 'yard art' now.
I've found that in these cases, many times the owner is bitter that he couldn't/wouldn't work on the vehicle and have it finished (when he was young) and get themselves a small conquest back from their situation every time they get to tell someone NO at the door. They know they'll never work on the vehicle, but be damned if they'll sell it and stand by while someone else does exactly what they never could do; build it! They get a certain satisfaction of knowing it's theirs and while they make no progress, nobody else can either. If they sell it, that will end their opprtunity to wave the vehicle under the next person's nose = no attention.
Worse yet, is the next step of going balistic and crushing the vehicle to spite the situation. It's like the guy who kills a woman stating "if I can't have her, nobody can".
