Dori was semi-abandoned before the build ...

She was my car already. I drove her in high school and for a few months in college. She'd been parked for a little over six years before we pulled her out for the build. Not a lot of time to rust, but it still did it's work where it could.
Floorpan under the driver's seat
Some kind of rodent nest under the hood on top of the fuel tank

Luckily, it was empty. Caution was exercised though!

@adam46 It was temporarily sitting there (the field is owned by a guy who restores old Jags and such) and was sold to some guy in Japan to be raced. Here it is repainted to its original livery:
Beyond that, there are no more records of the car.
Meanwhile...

and another Stratos...

@Downhill Dino Glad it survived. I presume the guy bought it for the Japanese Le Mans Challenge that flopped in the mid-2000's. I see you found the link I got that image from, too!

Yes I did, and I simply had to post those cars. I'm surprised you didn't as they should definitely be shared!

I don't think I'd have the heart to post such a vast quantity of images that are that distressing to the petrolhead! In all seriousness, thanks for stopping me from going on a countrywide Google Maps Lister hunt.

Stop posting this! Monstrous people. This post made me cry. That poor, poor Bugatti. Or that miserable Stratos... Oh the sadness...

Incredible Post @Downhill Dino! If I recall correctly, the second Stratos had been posted before in the thread, but none of the other cars had. Truly mindboggling!

I felt the second Stratos was familiar.
Also, allow me share more sad images.
This of course, judging by the first picture even, is just a fraction of what there is in that junkyard. Here is the link to the rest of the cars, as there are too many to bother posting. Enjoy!

I agree!
Spacegoat...I think the VB commodore is a mile stone in Australian car history!
But lots of people did not like it at the time, late 70's

Lotus Exige S, this is Reply Button. Reply Button, this is Lotus Exige S. Now that you guys have been properly introduced, Lotus Exige S, I think there's something about Reply Button here that you'd be really fascinated by - you can click him on multiple posts at once, so that all of your replies to people are in one single post rather than an AUP-violating three consecutive posts. I've got a feeling about you two, something tells me you're going to be really good friends.

Just saw this article with a whole bunch of abandoned cars, quite a few have already been posted here but here's a link.

So I hope that's fine for you guys, the link just directs me to the mobile site which only shows a tiny fraction of the photos...
Edit: Some random pics
This one is pretty interesting, 36 Corvettes abandoned. I found an article on it
Linky to article which includes more pics
