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

One of the tow truck guys is selling this...I'd buy it for 10 bucks but not the 750 he's asking.

 

Front clip looks pretty decent, and for a Chrysler like that they are getting hard to find.

 

Yeah we 'll see what happens .I wouldn't mind it sitting at my place.

 

Late 1940's Crosleys ... Including one converted into a flat-bed truck that once belonged to Griffith Park. Also a Cushman 3-wheel "truck"...

 

better to let that one go and wait it out for nice 2 door hardtops, thats one ugly car

 

Yeah But I'd rather have it on my 5 acres then end up at my work but I can only do that if its FREE.

 

A friend of mine went on a trip through Sweden last summer and snapped these photos. I think I might have seen other photos of the same cars on this thread.

Is that an Anglia in the upper right?

 

Why yes...I do believe it is..!

 

and the lower left. ford poplar i think they are called there.

 

drug these out of the woods this week. were headed for scrap yard, hopefully i can put some parts in some peoples hands instead.

54 victoria, black on blue interior, v8, 3spd manual. i really like this car. wish i had the means to save it myself.







55 sedan. this thing is real rough, im probably gonna pull the y block and dash board out and junk it. unless someone wants it/other parts off of it.




52 sedan, straight 6 auto. engine spins with a breaker bar, some glass and stainless is good.





also found this truck in the woods by my house

 

Current project. Sat rotting since '75.





Somewhere on BLM land in the California desert.

 

I'd say you've got some vary salvagable parts & pieces there, especially on that '54. The oddball hood hinges alone are worth a few $$$ just as rebuildable cores. If you have time to dismantle & piddle around selling 'em you'd likely get a bit more for them as parts, vice scrapping 'em as whole cars. Just MHO

 

some old ones not sure if i posted before

 

I'm surprised that no one has jumped on either of these. '62 bubbletops hit the stupid money level some years ago, and the '61 is at least a good parts car.

 

Looks more like sitting and rotted. Lippy

 

Really like the lines of this Opel Rekord - it'd make a nice mini-Bellflower cruiser.
Or a gasser...?

 

If a tree falls in the forrest does anyone hear??

 

My guess is it's a case of the owner wants stupid money for it right now.

 

I think this one sat and rotted too long..

 

Pic 1957 Chev 20 years ago. It is still sitting in the same place. He drove in High School in the late 80's and it was given to him by his grandad. Now it is rust bucket. The floors are gone all the lower have rust. He will not sell it. I guess one day he can sell the parts off of it. Sad to see car going to Shit.

 

Ran when parked.

 

dads rotters

 

found this picture online. think its been there awhile

 

I cant understand some people who let desirable cars sit outside to rot away for years, but will never sell any one of them. Do they think in there mind they will restore them. they sure are not getting more valuable rotting away.

i could show 25 in my area that the stupid bastards let sit........pisses me off

 

To many of these type "accumulators", its self-satisfying to them that someone wants what they have and they have the power over others by denying them. If they let the cars go, then that feeling will be lost.

They don't have the energy, interest, or resources to rebuild them themselves. The fact that they are destroying the cars slowly doesn't really matter.
