how come there are so many Bugattis still in barns and old garages?
and a 57 Series model, no less... damn.

What a find indeed, I hope it doesnt get restored, just preserved.

Amazing. I need to find a car like that so I can live off the selling.

Rich people hid their cars during the war, at least that's what I've been told.

I just stumbled across this thread during a search for something entirely different... wow!

Best car thread ever!

I have some barn finds to contribute, but for now just wanted to say Kudos to Cano on making such a great thread and first post! 👍

I almost cry when I see pictures like this.

How could anyone do that to a car?

When I saw this thread I thought of this one but someone beat me to it. It's just a few miles away from where I live.

Especially for a car that's going to need a complete restoration.

 

[Cano]

well, both cars need restoration... maybe another two or three million to make it like new, but I would not touch it, I'd just freshen the mechanicals so everything would work and drive it in original state.

I was browsing around some abandoned car pictures and remembered abut this thread. Man it's been YEARS.

I know what you are all thinking... "gravedigger pic in 3, 2, 1...", well, here it is:

I'll try to keep this thread floating even if I don't post full-story links but just pictures of stuff. What worries me is that I will be double posting a lot in here if I start posting pics like mad and people don't participate that much. Oh well.

Story from the area is that the truck was drilling a well eons ago, was blown over by the wind and the area was too remote to make righting it feasible, so there it still sits.

got damn...

aaaand...

Done, for now.
I'll be putting up more stuff here.

Hey, I can post one of my own!

[Prosthetic]

This makes me sad.

So many of those can be restored!! If only I was rich...

 

[Antonisbob]

I love things like this, time capsules, barn finds, junkyards ect. Some interesting materiel on here. That Messerschmidt is pretty rare to be just sitting there.

Shame Grave digger 1 is in such a sad state. I'd like to see it restored one day, doing some car crushing. 👍

I'll take a picture of it Thursday (won't see it until then) but a guy in my shop class has a '81 Camaro in near perfect condition (running and all) and paid 50 bucks for it out of a yard in Vegas and had it shipped into NY.

 

[Tyger]

Ohhh where is that Messerschmitt? I want!

 

[Anna+Reece]

There is an RX7 FB 33 sitting next to this small sports store owned by a married couple. I have never seen the car move. One day, I called the place about the car and the wife answered, she said it's her husband's car and he will never sell it, then started ranting about how the car deserves a new home and she hates seeing it rot. Very sad indeed.

 

[Cano]

I'd love pics of that Mazda, bud.

Speaking of which... I'm sure many of you have seen Kusahiro Exploration, a FANTASTIC japanese blog specialized in abandoned japanese cars in Japan. I have to stop saying Japan. Go check it out, here are some samples right off there:

And on and on. On the very first pages, waaaaaaaaaaay aback, there is an Eunos Cosmo. Yep, sad.

Other blog that isn't specialized in abandonement but has a category about it is Banpei, which I'm sure many of you have seen too. Here are some pics offa there. Caution, strong stomach moment coming:

Yeah, it's horrid.

Yet another japanese japanese abandoned car blog, Donguri Kusahiro, I just found it; some samples:

dig trough some bug nests to get to teh Z:

That's today's dose. I'm sure this post will shake some heads.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

That is so wrong.. That line of abandoned first gen Cosmos..

 

[Cano]

It is indeed painful. Since yesterday I've found some more pics of abandoned japanese cars, like this Isuzu 117:

And this amazing RX4 barn find:

Not japanese but also cool:

check out that texture got dammit!

 

[Anna+Reece]

Hey Cano, I'll try to get pictures of the FB tomorrow.

Also once, I was waaaaaaay up in northern Minnesota, and I spotted an abandoned 280ZX Z31. It was one of the saddest things I have ever seen. I'll try and find some pictures, I know I have some, but I will need to look a little.

[NINE_HUNDRED]

That did make me laugh ^

But seriously when you see some of these cars I always think, "I could of had that.." Such a waste.

 

[Crumpet]

How does a 2000GT end up like that..?

 

[JER_CREST]

Hello Cano,

That picture of the truck with Job Rated grille emblem, is a Dodge truck.
