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

This 63 Mercury was running 10 years ago when it came to this yard The studes future looks stewed
this mercury has one of the weirdest a.c units Ive seen and tail lights? pretty much all there other than some punk kid taking out some glass

 

^Looks to be an aftermarket AC unit.

 

Don"t have any pictures as it was over 50 years ago but my great uncle had a black 51 Ford Victoria he bought new, I was like 12 when he bought a new 63 Comet and retired the Ford to his back yard. I bugged him for years to sell me the Vicky, he always said maybe someday he would give it to me. Same old story, he died while I was in the army in the early 70's, I came home and his daughter had give it to a scraper to get rid of it.

 

Tall lights are Kool

 

Ain't got nothin' to do with scrapping cars, Wolf. Its about dangerous loads. The trailer's plenty, the truck isn't. All trucks have a weight limit, btw. The way those cars are chained is ignorant & stupid dangerous. Around here, that guy'd be on the side of the road waiting for something like my F600 to come bail his**** out, wondering how he'll pay the fines when scrap's worth $60 a ton. I can't even tell you how many cars I've scrapped, but my F350 or F600 trucks were never overloaded or secured like that idiot's.

 

Ive got a 66 chevy 3/4 ton and We commonly hauled 6500 pounds of feed in the bed. and 7500 a few times. Around here 3/4 ton trucks pull gooseneck trailers hauling bulldozers backhoes logs and cattle that weigh lots more than those old cars do. Its all just a matter of opinion. I drove semi truck for more than 40 years. The DOT is mostly about generating revenue. One thing for certain No body will have to worry about that load of rust buckets setting and rotting.

 

All pics taken by me.None from the internet or something somebody sent me.

 

Rescued. It pays to be nice to older persons.

 

Score!
Well......... Are you keeping it, or moving it on to a New Owner?

 

Congrats! It pays to be an upright person instead of a thief!

 

Details, man!

 

absolute abject wrong step to disassemble ,even partially, a car that you intend to resurrect.At least not until you have a supply of pens and bags with tags.

 

That's in San Jose.

 

I hope to have this old girl in my driveway this weekend....guy said its been sitting there for 10+ years...
