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

These cars were all dumped in the 60's to stop erosion of the banks during high water....I think some were dumped just to get rid of them. After 40-50 years in the water most are in pretty bad shape. Problem is, you can't do anything on the banks of this river without going through MILES of red tape....

I really want to save this old stock car....37-38 Ford coupe

 

more, this is so sad...

 

Damn!

 

That water is SO clear!!!!!

Some killer photo ops there with the right lighting (some maybe even UNDER water).... any local photographer should be all over that.

Wow That Dodge WC53 wants rescuing... A Rare WC series truck. Wish I still had me WC51

 

It really is unbelieveable how many cars and trucks are really just sitting and rotting.

 

They're in a "former" wrecking yard and are there for display now. That Chevy truck had a hemi in it back in the day.

 

IF that was close to me, I woulb be all over some of that stuff. Looks like there is a good 35-36 ford door on one of those cars, thats good for an easy 100 There is a thread on here were I guy floated a beet up wills sedan out of a river

We all went a ways north to a car show, a very nice older lady hunted us down at the show after seeing us drive into town.

She told us her husband had p***ed a while back and had a few cars around that looked a bit like ours. She gave us the address, so after the show we went out and checked it out.

Here is what we found...... a barn with a roof, but only one side.

The bodies just fall apart once the wood goes away.

 

Wow!!!!!

and does she want it gone??

 

For those in MO/KS there's one of these Nash's(?) setting on 12th off of Kansas Ave. in KCK. Been there for as long as I remember. Was going to snap a pic but forgot for the second time.

 

'33 2 dr wasting away in North Central M***.

 

Unfortunetly there is some in Quebec too!

 

Wow, any details on this one?

 

here is one from the Alaskan HWY

 

No details. Just an old 57 chevy hot rod that was beyond saving. The bottom was rotted out of it.

 

The box and fenders look like late 31 A but I'm not a 100% sure, I'm looking for a set of rear fenders for one, no others will fit.

 

Found this A the other day. Talked to the farmer at the house and said he would never sell it because his grandfather purchased the car "brand New" and that they were going to restore it some day. According to him, it has been sitting outside next to the barn since 1967. If it was such a family heirloom I would think they would store it INSIDE the barn instead

 

A Few More.

 

Damn,I'd love to have this old ford

 

Yeah, I believe so....

 

pm me if you need help, what a gold mine, cool stuff maynard...

 

If I was in CA, I would be all over that mess of RUSTY goodness
What ya waiting for there is a bunch of money to be made, if you can get it reasonable, or just turn others onto it

 

appears to still have the slicks on it....
also has a heater delete

 

Whats the deal on the 60 sedan delivery,did the person who raced it let it sit and rot or did it fall in the hands of one of those hoarders.

 

Wow If they only knew back then to save that.

 

It fell into the hands of a m***ive hoarder, who died with well over 100 fine cars which had decayed in his yard to a similar fate.

 

Interesting Large probably 1 ton pickup in behind.Maybe Diamond T?
