looks like it sat half in a barn for 20 years
 
Rust like that is what happens when you use cheap Russian steel and expose it to British weather.

👍 Beautiful colour for a Dino. Wonder how much one in that condition is worth?
 
^^
I swear the majority of 1978 Corvette Pace-cars were left in barns and have less than a thousand miles.
 
It must be a really bad car if someone decides to put it away and never use it again after driving only 13 miles in it. :sly:
 
I think I remember reading buyers stashed them away thinking they will be worth big bucks someday.

First car looks like a 64-65 Chevelle, the second car I'm not sure about. (looks like a Mopar of some sort), the third car is a Ford Maverick/Mercury Comet, and I can't see the last one.
 
car 2 coronet maybe?
zoomed in as far as I can on #4 late 30s-early 40s truck of some sort, either a dodge power wagon (not too sure) or an International 1 1/2 ton wich i'm leaning more toward...

I bet you that shell would still fetch a few thousand. A couple years back there was a 69 charger R/T shell in a local junk yard where I was living at the time and someone paid 3k for it. I thought that was completely stupid considering it was just a shell.
 
i might have to look into what one would fetch.. if its not all swiss cheese I could probably snag it for less than a c note...
the yard its in is one of those yard where if it doesnt have a bowtie emblem the guys don't know jack about it other than what they read on the emblems

This is the Rover Factory in Longbridge, these photos were taken back in 2007...
Would love to get permission and take a look around this place someday!

Apparently, everything was left behind...
As well as that, when the guy who took those photographs entered - lights, computers, etc. will still on!
Apparently, that red MGF still had the keys in the ignition and still fired up after being abandoned for over 4 years (these photos were collected in 2008)

That's an incredible story, I'll look deeper into it, it's quite fascinating!
 
Most of the old Rover factory has been knocked down now and turned into apartments. Some of it still exists, it's where they assemble the part-built MG6's shipped in from China.
 
Not quite on the same level as most stuff here but it's sat there for a couple of years and I don't see it being moved anytime soon since the house it 'belongs to' is derelict.

This right here...this right here is a crime. It's a damn Javelin and a 70s one with the nice front fender arches...this damn car was a great tool in Trans Am. Mark Donohue wouldn't like seeing this...rest his soul.

No classic muscle cars deserve that.
