Some more unfortunate Z31s in abandonment.

Also, from JNC:

Also an update on the junkyard, I think I might stop by sometime soon (in this month), since my last pics had the cars mostly snow covered. What I thought was a Studebaker Champ might be more like a Studebaker Lark.
 
:0 info on that thing? That looks like the real deal!

Sadly I can't find any info on it, I found the pic on a tumblr blog but there was no info about the RX4. I did a google reverse image search but it just went back to the tumblr blog where I originally found it.
 
I got photos of old cars i found at the pourvoirie of my gran father. At Latuque in quebec. I saw a bettle, a ford pickup, another truck that was lawing in the deep of a creek, it was acting like a bridge. Id post the photos here but i am on a phone.. If you want contact me via facebook or tell me a site where i can upload those pictures.

Sad. It woulc have been awesome to know a bit more about that car. I don't really remember what color the works cars were, but I do remember they had a pretty simple livery. A long shot, but who knows.

Anyway, been a while:

390 AMX; check out the Packard in the background as well :drool:

As found Jags displayed and auctioned off at Christie's; I love that more and more cars in as-found condition are being shown around the world, and more importantly, more and more of them are beind preserved that way:

Amazing: just-unearthed 1970 Boss 302 after sitting in a barn for 18 years. This car is absolutely awesome.

Another Triumph:

Most likely parts cars, but still very sad:

Just-unbarned Stude Hawk:

Lancia Fulvia in amazingly good shape, considering it is a 60s Lancia, it should be a cloud of rust by now:

This picture is awesome; 1947 or so Olds, I think:

And I think we're done for now.

Awesome post 👍

The Jupiter looks cool. I want one.

Any more pics of the Boss 302, It looks like it has a set of old BBS wheels on it. It looks interesting.

All those cars in the woods is just sad :(
 
Cano, the 3.2 Jag is a Mk2, which has either a 3.4 or a 3.8. And very rarely also an 2.5.

And also. The green E-type Coupe. So bad ass.

This Ferrari 330 shell popped up on eBay recently. Apparently it was stripped of parts a long time ago, probably for use on project or replica cars. The owner wanted to make it into a chicken hut before he sold it recently for only £2000.

A) Dodge Daytona - Damn, just damn :grumpy:
B) The Boss 302. Oh hell yeah. Glad to see it got rescued. Can you imagine what this gem will bring once it undergoes a rotisserie restoration ? Yeah ... BIG $$$$$
C) The Jag, absurd and WTF are spot on.

Whoa, amazing. I'm still surprised stuff like this still pops up from time to time. Not the most desirable of Ferraris but come on.

rotisserie restoration

NNNOOOOOOOOOOO you just leave that car AS IS. Just clean it and keep it like that, it's in amazing shape to be stripped off!
 
The XK just needs a good wash... any car could look like that sat in a dusty barn for a couple of weeks undriven.
 
My dad knows a guy out in America who managed to find a '63 Corvette Split Window in a barn. I was jealous the moment In found out.
 
Here's a rusted shelby GT500 that I took a picture of at a car show. Basically a once abandoned car that was recently saved. At least that's what I assumed when I saw it, it looks to be recently fixed up a bit though.

Got damn. And pretty gone too. Sad.

GT500 ragtop, very rare. even more so with the big-block. And original tires too. That car is amazing.



Awesome!
