Not abandoned, but certainly neglected by a friend of mine for years now. 41 ford ragtop. Used to have a red ram hemi in it. Last engine in it was a flatty. Old Vancouver rod/custom that used to hang out on Kingsway in Burnaby. Pat.
Not a rod, but definitely a worthy picture. Someone emailed this to me and I thought it was a great picture.
Fuck you ALL Very Much .LOL Kiwi Kev,you've gotta do somethin' about your Photo bucket deal man,no one can see anything but that exceeded storage space thing or whatever the hell it is.
I've Got dibs on the two shoebox fords once I find some land to store them on. Most of the other stuff is on privat land or in a place where you have to cross private land to get to it. People around here are not to keen on ripping cars and parts out of the river, or through their property.
Hmmm the banks of the Bighorn never gives up her dead iron... Stutz ever been to "The Broken Arrow" yard in Busby, the yard in Frannie or Monte's Do I smell a spring yard crawl? s.
Here's one - found on a trip to Southern Alberta, somewhere in or around Medicine Hat, outside an RV park/campground. Steve
all the cars are form dif spots around the country. i really couln't tell ya specifically where the dodge is except for some back road in nebraska. we needed a bed for ours and an old farmer named Clark, who had a grip of old cab-overs told us that one was down the road at an old forclosed farm. its a shot in the dark, but if any one has ever taken rt80 cross country you might have seen the spot that i'm talking about with all the cab-overs.
This one piece of American drag racing history rottens here in Finland... To all finnish guys... Nope, it is not for sale.
Those pics looks like Töcksfors in Sweden, the biggest junkyard i´ve ever been to, and everythings 60ies and older, mostly european cars and mostly real rusted out cars, but well worth a look, its owned by two brothers that use to smuggle cars between Norway and Sweden way back, they have their own gate into Norway, they can tell some cool stories!
Found this abandoned rod in a yard over the summer. It has an Olds 303 and hydro in it, well it did. Looks like it was never finished, the shifter wasn't hooked up. It got crushed in October. The frame was rotted clean in two, so I took a bunch of stuff off before that; the top bows were long gone as well. I got one that had been on it's side and it was so bad I cut the windshield header, one side of the cowl, and took the door and quarter off the left side of this - I thought I had a deal to sell the other car to a guy on here, but never could get a price set, then he vanished for a month, turned back up, and to this day hasn't responded even to say "sorry I changed my mind" ... never know where you'll find a prick I guess. So I'm stuck with it. We got a mildly customized '55 Chevy out of there, though, it had the rear wheel arches changed (badly) and the parking lights blanked out and set in the grille. Not the first of those I've seen, I wish we'd been able to get the one we found with the canted quad headlights in it, but it was 4 hours away in another place and we couldn't sell anything to save our lives that fall. I've run across some others, no photos, but one yard that crushed out about 10 years ago had a '51 Merc 4dr with a '57 chevy grille in it; a '56 Ford 2dr that had been painted red with an offset double stripe road-racer style and had numbers on it that had been painted out; and a Henry J with a Ford flathead V8 in it. That one had been wrecked by the looks of it.
1926 Model T Sedan Tudor as I found it... now sitting in my garage. Pics of the recovery here- http://rustyrod.blogspot.com/
here's a couple small teaser pics i'll post the full story and all the pics in a few weeks once the owners back in town. do not send me a pm asking about this stuff all you need to know is most of it will be for sale and i will post when it is avaliable
All of these were shot in the past 12 monthes. That 32 pickup was last registered in 1964. Lots of extra parts in that dirt floor barn. Items such as extra Deuce shells to a 6-71 blower. It has a dropped axle and an olds motor. The sheetmetal is incredible, the doors close like a new car. I am patiently waiting for this one to become available.
Go to http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v72/VonDad/ and theres a couple of folders called tinhunt 1 and 2 Stuff here in the Ozarks and most if for sale.
My kid lives not too far from you, in Garner. I have been down there a couple times and I've seen all kinds of tin around! Down near Lillington on the road to the State Park nearby there was barn you can see from the road with a row of old stuff parked outside, i remember a 'Stude and a shoebox Ford among others there. On the road to Fayetteville from there there was several old cars sitting in yards, and to a Michigan guy they all looked good. Right outside Garner, on Rock Quarry road, off Jones Sausage Rd. there was a '46-'48 Chevy sedan delivery sitting next to a garage, it had been rodded at one time, but looked like it had been sitting for a while. I shouldn't say anything, but down in Buies Creek there is a complete Ford truck, looks like a '35 but it's kinda hard to see. If you can find a place called Roy Lees, it out back.
Cool. I don't get the chance to drive around out in the country like I used to. With my job, the baby and the wife's rest. I do know the attitude that alot of people with old cars around here have is...." NO its not for sale.... I'm going to fix it up one day!!!! But its been sitting in the same spot for years. Get out of here I said its not for sale grrr!!!
this is located like 14 hours south of the borther,the merc is in my garage now,can someone resize the pics please?
