Abandoned cars and barn finds picture thread!!!!!

[AlvaroF]

Is it me or are you both neighbourghs and met accidentally in wolrdwide website?

 

[Dennisch]

We just found out that we live close to each other.

That makes a GTP meet pretty easy btw.

 

[AlvaroF]

That's a happy coincidence. All down to a abandoned car.

I wish I had my camera with me a few weeks ago when I was on holiday in a country town a few hours away. We were just driving past a supermarket when we suddenly saw sitting in an asphalt carpark space, all tyres completely deflated, the paint unrecognisable and inhabited by cobwebs, an abandoned Morris Minor. Apparently it's been sitting there for over two decades and neither the council nor vandals have bothered to move it. Awesome.

I believe that's the famous Cuban 300 SL.

I'll slowly leave this thread. Every time I watch these pics I get really, really sad.

If anything you should be happy. Almost every single one of these cars can be brought back to life.

The stories that make me sad are the ones where these cars get crushed for scrap metal. One of our local junkyards just did this a few years ago. They took almost all their older cars and crushed them.

 

[AlvaroF]

But the sadness of the miserable state they are is just... I have no words.

Gladly they are being brought back to life. These cars deserve it

That C2 (or C3, can't remember)...

 

[Slash]

C2.

 

[AlvaroF]

Then,

That poor C3

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

C2.

Isn't it?

 

[Adamgp]

C3.

C2. That's a '63 split window.

C3's were '68-'82.

 

[AlvaroF]

Wut? Why did I came up with that?

C2. That's a '63 split window.

C3's were '68-'82.

That's what I thought initially. Now I'm confused.

 

[Slash]

Duh, my bad, typo.

 

[AlvaroF]

Sooo, it's a C2 then?

 

[Slash]

Yes.

 

[RocZX]

Split window Vette!
That is one of the best looking and my favorite Vette.
Why is that in a field left to rot?🤬

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

I hope these aren't reposts, but more C2 sadness. Definitely at least 1 split window, and the 1/2 'Vette might be a split window as well but the angle makes it hard to tell.

 

[playnthru]

At least 2 in the top photo maybe more.
