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

I took pix of this one yesterday. It sits about a block off a main highway.

 

Those pics BigRy posted are all in the Canon City and Florance Colorado Areas. The Hudson pickup and other rigs around it have been in that same spot for over 20 years that i know, the 58-59 big back window chevy pickup and 66-67 Chevelle belong to a old lady and she drives the chevelle still as a daily. That pontiac has been sitting on 9th street for around 3 years for sale he may want a bunch but possibly not Fremont county is hard to sell anything unless it is super cheap, most people in fremont County are cheap asses, i have lived here my whole life and gave up trying to sell anything in this county.

 

This guy I have been working on for years, he is a great guy,

But he wouldn't sell nothing for the first two years and I kept working on him.

Sense then I've gotten some great pieces and he has a lot more I wish I could share with you guys.

The roadster with 32 grill shell, he parked it there, ran and was licensed, he said, that's my retirement fund.

Not sure if pictures are viewable but there are over 200 old cars at this guys place and most have been there since the early 60's. This guy still has original titles for most of them. But he is so attached he just can't let them go. I have gotten 4 from him but it took many many hours and many many visits to get them. But he is a very knowledgable old timer that I really enjoy spending that time with. This Sunday I am going to get some parts and he asked me to pick out the ones I like because he just turned 80 and he needs to get some things figured out. I may be able to get the bulk of these moved to my place out in the country. Then it will be my "junk" yard.

 

Here are a few I stole off Flickr







This one makes me kinda sad. 1939 Poncho.

 

I hear that!!!

 

retirement fund? well im sure the car would bring a chunk...but not enough to support retirment....unless the dude lives off the grid or something.......what mill is in it?

 

Saw these two over the weekend on my way up to Columbus, Mi....:

 

Gonna be saving this '64 C10 & make it my daily driver.

 

That's why I can't bring my self to ask him what he wants for it!
I'm not sure what engine, but I guessing a banger. That's what he's working on in the garage in another car. Mike

 

What are the headers attached to that're sitting in front of the roadster? Scattered engine out of one of the sprinters, maybe? The roadster is sweet.

I hope to be making another trip out there soon, I though they were just lying there, but looking at the pics, you have me wondering. I'll check it out and try to get more pics. Mike

 

nice truck, i loved my 292-motored C10 longbox. very useable as a daily!!

 

Nothing better on a rainy day to set and look through this thread...

 

Little road trip to New York on Sat.

 

I never see 59 pontiacs laying around til the other day. Love the laundry panel. Is this a 33-34ford cab?

 

yes, that is a nice one with the doors! GET IT NOW

 

Check out the sunshield on the side of this Pontiac, I always wanted some of those!

 

Wow! I missed that good eye!

 

havent posted on here in forever, forgot about this stash of cars i found



poor riv

 

Love that 55 Buick Special. I been looking for a good "three-hole" buick for a while now... would trade both my rides for a running one!

 

What's the story on those cars?

Any 59 Ford 2 door rear fenders? I need a set. (for my 2 door wagon)

 

i dont really know they were in kingman AZ off the 40 behind a little junkyard across some rail road tracks. i didnt talk to the owner, but as you can see there picked apart and some cars where cut in half like the riviera.

 

Check it for bones?

 

Found some new ones at Danny's in Elko, SC.....
