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

[TDZdave]

Sorry this is such a terrible picture, but its the only one I could get without upsetting multiple people,

Here is a Mark 1 ford Escort, I've been driving past it for the last 3 years but because its always 1-4am when I go past all I seen was a roof, but someone tidied up the yard a little and revealed the little gem, currently talking with the missus about going up to make an offer on it,

More abandoned race cars

The bottom picture is the aftermath of storm damage to a classic car collection (in Florida?) if i recall correctly. The Porsche '935' has no roll cage and is fully trimmed in leather, so it's more likely a regular 911 (930/Turbo) with a body kit. Having said that, 911's of that age, no matter the condition, are all becoming valuable now.

This might be a photoshop, or it could be the camera flash

It's interesting that over all this time, the same cars are posted over and over again. Where are the new discoveries out there?

I think its more new people showing up and not checking through the pages, I know I'm guilty of some reposts as 65 pages is a lot to go through, but in the end I did, but also 65 pages is a lot of images to remember, I'm hopefully going away in a few weeks to look for an old gem to restore, hopefully I come back with a bag of images,

No, there was no info on it where I found it.

It could be 1 of 40 that GM sent to museums and universities.

That poor Avanti.

It's as though the truck driver got out to take a leak by the side of the road in late 1955 and...I don't know...got lost.

Not sure if this would qualify but i found this while browsing on the Instagram page:

Apparently this Viper had an accident and got wrecked like back in the 90's and abandoned in nowhere (Saudi Arabia) ever since that day.

I say it definitely qualifies, its certainly been abandoned, much like those supercars left to rot in the UAE

What kind of GMC is that?

 

[TexRex]

What kind of GMC is that?

Given the grill, it's more likely a Chevrolet than a GMC*, but it's just a basic cab-over (this implies the passenger compartment is actually over the engine).

[Fastcarguy]

I dont think they really had a name, they were just called COE's (cab over engine)

Funny, I've been looking at that one for a few days. Been searching for an MGB for some time now.
