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

Did you find Jimmy Hoffa in the trunk??

 

actually...I couldn't find the trunk!

 

I bet half the folks on here could do something with that..

 

Found this Chrysler New Yorker while out on the Harley. Know nothing about ownership.

 

Didn't look to see if Hoffa was in the trunk??

 

olds dad those pic's give me a eerie feeling that christine was tring to resurrect herself but was buried too deep i know it's not the same car but thats what came to mind spooky

 

Its Villa Epecuen in Argentina

Will he sell parts?

 

The 'vert is all or none . . .

 

How do you find something like this? I mean were these just sitting along the road, or were you out riding atv's or what? I just dont understand how something like this just sits out in the middle of nowhere. Jim

 

I'm not sure exactly what year that New Yorker is, but if it's 51/2/3 it should be a Hemi. From the research I can find, the New Yorker's only got Hemi's. Lower models got poly's as standard equipment and Hemi's optional. Should be a 331 extended bell. Worth double checking on.

 

Some more I have photographed over the last couple of years.

 

Last one for the night.

 

Here's one I'm been working on for years, still not willing to let the good stuff go yet.

 

This one really needs to go into the "Sitting and Done Rotten" thread

 

I checked these out last weekend. I talked to the owner and he said he had a 32 roadster. It played out just the way I thought it would. Here is the "32 roadster" lol





a few more....

 

This is the one I should go back for. It's a 34. To bad it's missing the door.



I really like the stainless horn.

 

I ran across theses last fall...

 

Few more, same place as above...

 

Sorry for the ****py photos. They were taken from a distance with an iPhone.

I just snapped these two photos yesterday afternoon. This Edsel 4 door hardtop is near the town of New Waverly, TX. I talked to the guy on the phone and he said the s****pers have offered to take it.

He said he'd rather see it saved for parts.....and he said he'll take the s**** price for it. It's rusty, but there's lots of good metal there, and the bumpers and chrome look almost perfect.

It's not mine and I don't know the guy other than talking to him on the phone yesterday and I won't make a dime off of it, so this isn't a cl***ified ad.

PM me for details if you want to save it. He said it goes to the crusher soon.

 

HILARIOUS!!!!


Get 4 guys and liberate it... I never said that.[/QUOTE]

 

Heres my 2 cents. I see this stuff everyday. Little towns like this have a lot. I can only guess whats behind closed doors. I will add more as I find them. Some are for sale. The pontiac is for sure, but as its been in that spot for at least a couple of years, he must be one of those guys that think it worth a mint. It is on one of the most traveled roads.

 

Is that a Hudson Big Boy in pic #7? Greatest looking truck ever imo.

 

some tri 5's rotting away. none have frames??

 

That T roadster with the deuce grill ............is..........amazing...................It doesnt even seem real to me

 

Looks like one- good eye!

 

It sure is. These have been here about 10 years.
