Just for you Cano

Man, it really really makes me mad stuff like this.- Ok you're gonna stash a bunch of cars inside a barn because you can't restore/refurbish them all at the same time,it's fine and understandable, maybe a little naive,but fine.

Butcome the heck up, close the wide windows and put the tops up! Close hoods, raise on blocks, etc. This is just neglecting the cars.

Nice collection though. I don't know why I like those DeSotos so much.

This is sooo cool! Just sent the guy a message on Flickr and he responded with a link to his blog...

What a great thread.
Here are some from my side of the world.

Lancia Fulvia ir is it Flavia from '71 as the owner told me.

I remember this standing there for at least 5 years.

And this is my addition to the rust of the world.
Ford Taunus L that my father bought new in 72 waiting to go for scrap.

I try the Lancia picture again.

 

[RocZX]

What car is that in the background?

That's pretty sad ): also, the Flavia seems like you could hop in it and drive away!

I think it's also a Maserati.

I really like that HDR shot of the car in the woods, how do cars manage to end up all the way out there?

The Lancia pic is a couple of years old and it is parked too close to the sea
for it's own good,but yes,it should only need new battery and a carb clean.
The guy is the first owner and it was his daily drive until he parked it there.

And a couple more:

Two little green FIATs in agreen field.

Huge Caterpillar engine'cause size does matter.

👍

It's a Lotus. I think it's a 2/2.

^ Those aren't Works cars aye they? Regardless, interesting find...

 

[Cano]

240RSs

Holy hell NO WAY. Info?

 

[Spacegoat]

*240RS IMG's*

Excuse me while I go find somewhere to cry.

Any info on those?

 

[RocZX]

Info on 240RS

The only place I can found any info on them is from HERE . But there not that much info on the cars.

From what little I can make out of the translated stuff, it seems they are yet another case of race cars being left behind in some forgotten part of Africa (Zymbabwe) for... whatever reason. Was it really that expensive for teams to bring their injured cars back as to leave them behind? I fidn it hard to believe, but it was the same case with the Lancia Stratos you posted recently.

It also seems to be the case with this other car found in Indonesia, according to the link:

fascinating. Great find Rocxzxszxzx!!!!

Hi, this is my first time on this thread and holy crap & *facepalm*.
I'm quite shocked on how many amazing cars I've seen on here that were left to rot. I mean really, I didn't expect that many porsches, ferraris, skylines, & many others to be forgotten.

Not...really a rare sale? But an interesting one and it was in storage for a long time. So I suppose you could count it as a barn find. Want to buy this badly.

I do apologize if this really isn't the appropriate place to post this, but I had to post it somewhere.

Why do you always find cool little Japanese cars in Maine? That's not fair.

What is this? I love that paint scheme.

 

[RocZX]

It's a 1959 Dodge Coronet

 

[Cano]

RocZX my man, if it wasn't so gay I'd kiss you. Awesome posts, both in this page. The armoured car had me in tears. Also, I call photoshop in the abandoned hot rod truck, but a very well done job. And if it's real, I want to cry.

The Corona is also awesome, such a rare car to find.

Thanks man. I knew it was a Dodge of some sort. 👍

I second this.

Such a cool little car, I love it. Great find. 👍

Seems like people are pulling cars out of storage all of a sudden. This one's actually in New Hampshire though. Want...badly
