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

Now THAT is somethin' you don't see everyday....

"For Sale - 1964 Pontiac Bonneville Safari Wgn.

- Very little rust, great patina on original paint.
- Was a coast car for a very short time, but in great shape.
- Original interior is nearly perfect!
- Been in storage 40+ years
- Ran when parked

$9,000 or best offer, a whale of a deal!...so sail over today and take this cl***ic land yacht home! "

 

Ran when parked... I actually laughed out loud on that!

 

That amuses me greatly. Yeah, the last two got me while I was writing it

 

To the lucky new owner: PLEASE don't customize this cl***ic!
RESTORE IT!



(Oh, and that FLOODING in the 389? COULD be the float in the carb! )

 

Yea, cover it back up!

 

Someone needs to make a craigslist or eBay ad for this thing... "Great for restoration, 90% rust free (you pay for the other 10% of that rust!)"

I still can't get over that interior though, it would be fun to dig this thing up/out!

 

Ooh! It's a 9 p***enger too! Isn't this what they make POR15 for? Might take more than most prprojects, but it would be worth it!

 

Need a Truck ?

 

Maybe a couple B-400's ?

 

This pic is probably 30-40 years old. Wish I had a time machine!

 

Awesome. I could even put my sheep in the back.

 

I thought s**** was up to $205. a ton,........ ?

 

some late additions

 

My 1st convertible was a '63 Lemans with the 326 automatic. I was 16...

 

snapped these on my way to Stigler, Oklahoma yesterday. the GS Buick has been sitting in the same spot since 1984 (that I know of). the Packard is behind a small town Ford dealer.

 

Good Lord, Gearhead Bill - That is the motherload! Is that in Eastern Washington?

 

Already well covered.

Those seats must be covered in marine grade vinyl........

 

I still can't get over the seats myself, I bet out of the sand they will deteriorate quickly though.

 

heres some from last weekend here in NS...





Man I wish this 55 was salvageable







If he hasnt sold it by the spring (I am prolly the only person dumb enough to buy it) I will cut up and take what ever might be usable on this 51 Monarch



When is the last time you saw a TV repair van !?

 

56 Pontiac 2 door



46-48 Dodge





Kaiser...early 50's I think..only ever seen one other one before it was in about the same shape....



50 Dodge...

 

The Kaiser and the Dodge are 53's, what are the guys prices like? I am looking at a pair of 51 Kaisers right now (to save them from the s****) and might need some trim and badges.

 

I bought the 49 Merc for $250...he seems a little high on parts but I think hes reasonable...he really seems to want the stuff to get used before the crusher is called in next near...hes in the middle of nowhere and the municipality is on his *** to clean the place out since his father died, it was even a licensed salvage yard...he told them to pound sand but knows he will eventually have to get it all cleaned out, cant list the property for sale with all the cars there...I wont be back till the spring though, we got a foot of snow this week.

 

found this black and white pic on another thread with barris leaning on it



but his stance looked familier so i kept searching, and found this



apologies for going OT, love this thread, we just don't have cl***ic tin like this parked up over here.

 

Taff - you have way to much time on your hands!

 

sitting in my yard & Barn - both 33's

 

A few more

 

That "Stude" reminds me of a couple of "Studillacs" that ran around the Buffalo N.Y area, in the mid 50's........ I wonder how many of those are around now?

4TTRUK

 

A lot of those car from Canada have reach critical m***! Save the parts you can!
