Rusted Relic sightings

New Zealand junkyard, late 70's. Levin I think.

 

Horopito Motors, New Zealand, late 70's.

 

My first hot rod project circa 1976' Bought it complete less engine for $75, only rusty in the rear panel. Stripped it down. Started boxing the frame and gave up. Pushed the shell over a bank. These things were very common in NZ back then and I really wanted an American car. Don't think I would do that today.

 

Rust.....

 

here are a few

 

had to put rockys rust bucket in there for kicks.. heres a few more

 

I Just went back and added some info to my pics.

 

That's a mighty curious looking plant growing in front of that truck. Maybe that has something to do with how the truck ended up on it's side.

 

Old Bill Hines custom.

 

all that was left of a shoebox ford. just a few minutes north east of detroit MI. shelby township??? i forget.. anyway, a girl i was seeing actually took me to see the car cuz she knew i would get a kick out of it. i took what i could.... but there wasnt much left, the car litterally rotted into the ground(and was picked over), you can see the back of the springs in the picture. it was a swamp/edge of woods. i was gonna cut the thing out of the tree cuz it was in REALLY good shape. but i didnt want to get arrested when the huge ****er came down with boom! i think it was private property. i think the area got developed, but.. theres a chance its still there.

it had a good set of rear window frames i believe(the body was in pieces) but i didnt have a chordless sawsall.

 

Took this around '94 in Eastern New Mexico or West Texas, can't remember where...

 

LOL, this one is killing me! looks like she picked a good final resting place! probably died from a bad case of the munchies!

 

Tow Mater suc***bs to the pressures of hollywood stardom

Hey Kurt,
Most of those pics were in N.Z. other then the A which I think got dug out and is in US somewhere, lots of the cars here were ***embled here from imported parts (used to be high duty on imported vehicles to encourage the local ***embly) so they are basically similar to the real thing, GM stuff was from Canada for the Pontiacs are 1/2 chev and the plymouths are 1/2 dodge kinda deal.....Mostly 4 door stuff after WW2 and lots less odd US stuff, pretty much British stuff and Chev/Ford/Dodge from there on.

 

Some oldies from around southwest Missouri.

 

C'mon guys! Those pictures have to fake. Everybody knows there are no more old cars out there, not anywhere, to find, don't they?

 

Not too rusted but I'm sure not forgotten. Just not mine.

 

Here's a link to some great rusty relic pictures that are up on the Ol' Skool Rodz board. You won't be dissapointed:
