Beetles with leather seats are cool; did you notice it's got a flat?
More from me, a 1969 Mustang that has been like this for at least five years, the hood where it is, its very sad.
this common thing, very uncommon here:
very rusty Renault 4:
awch:
circus-painted 55 chevy panel, this thing was cool!
clean Jetta with aftermarket stuff and the whole crew over it
nothing special here, but I really liked the scene with all the trash; two weeks later it was rolled over, a month later it was gone and the place was turned into a truck impound lot; no idea where this ended, but nothing was lost, really. I just liked the picture.
oh man, I'd kill to have one. Big block also, due to the shaker (missing) and in rough shape but very few rust, but a lot of bondo. It's not there anymore ):
a very, very rare here BSA Rocket, check out the three exhaust tips.
53 dodge 2-door wagon, I'd so lower and hemify one of these, big Hallibrands and all.
1969 Mustang with real Cragars, GT351:
This Renault 10 was being used as an advertising plate for the owner's auto air conditioning business; it's still there, still used for the same. What's with Renaults being used as business cards?
Bertone Fiat, these are really rare here:
37 Chevy Sedan humpback, rainy!
anyone can tell me what this is? motorhomes here are reaaaally rare, and this one seemed old and primitive, so it was a sure snap, abandoned and for sale, too.
59-60 I think Fargo flatbed.
Peugeot in good shape, it could be a good project:
this is one of those cars that are in extraordinary shape, look at it, its absolutely complete, but its a 4-door; no worry, find a 64 coronet two door in bad shape and transplant everything from this car, then hemify it. Its one of the best parts cars I've ever seen.
1948 Chevy Panel in pretty good condition, white wall it and big block it and put some green flames on it, and there it goes.
looowwwwwww 66 mustang with American torq-Thrusts, pretty nice, but maybe a I-6 -_-
check out the bodywork in this bug! it has been stretched on its hood and shortened on the rear, custom fenders and of course, ragtop; sadly, I found it like you see it like 5 years ago, and it is STILL in the same place. I'd so drive it.
these two were near the stretched VW, in front a Renault 4 Van, I soooo love these things, and have yet to find one that works!!!! this one is absolutely dead.
behind it, I think its a 58, Plymouth Belvedere 4-door that is also gooooone, not even as parts car... well, maybe, but nothing from the exterior.
this was neat, its a 48 Chevy Panel with home-added side windows, but it was there as a shoe repair shop, I shot this on a sunday, but on week days, the owner opens the rear doors and repairs shoes there.
1956 chevy 4 door post car, it may serve as parts car (as all four doors) but it's pretty rusty.
1962 Biscayne! these are hard to come by here, but it's a 4-door... even so, its in decent shape and pretty repairable, I'd go over it and paint it primer gray with red scallops and red steel wheels, air suspension, 327 withthree carbs, mexican blanket interior... oh yeah.
this was SAD: a 1957 Chevy Bel Air that was absolutely dead, hardtop too, maybe the most desirable 57 of all, turned into a pile of rust; the other rear quarter panel was just gone, gone up to the tailfin. this car has disapeared, and with good reason, it should be in a junkyard. Sadly.
what's left of a 47 Plymouth 4 door; as hard to believe as it is, I just passed by this car again and its now primered!!!! I cant see how they fixed that.
and now, the obligatory rice:
wtf...
omg:
no words, damn...
there, big post this time, more later (:

Wow... if I ever needed to get a project car I can just go down to Mexico a pick up a couple of nice rare old American cars for super cheap and fix them up.
I have a car near me you would like Cano... But sadly it's gone now, it was a black first generation Charger... Yeah with the fast back and all. Missing a few things but perfectly restorable... I wanted it so damn bad.

Nice shots from Mexico, Cano! Its always nice to see some things from a foreign country that isn't one of the usual suspects. Last I was in Mexico, all I remember seeing were early '90s Nissan Sentras and old VW Bugs, so those old American finds are just plain awesome. The funny thing is that in my family, we've owned some version of most of the cars you've posted there at one time or another...

Unfortunately I didn't get to hear the R63. It would have been such a sight to hear that coming from a minivan. As for the Audi, I first guessed it could have just been German aftermarket wheels, but the wheelcaps had me second-guessing my second-guess. And they really did look familiar. Oh well.
Err, am i missing something? I thought the Audi S2 was the S version of the audi 80 coupe? And even if it wasn't it was introduced in 1991, therefore making it before the S4 based off the 100....
That's what I thought at first, too, even though I knew they were officially never available in the us. I've seen even recent Rovers imported here, so I figured anything was possible.
I'll get better shots tomorrow. It's still there. Why stuff like that sits there is beyond me. It's just a gas station. A gas station in one of the wealthiest towns in the world, but a gas station nonetheless. I'm sure there are more appropriate places these cars could be looked at. And that Carrera GT has been there all week, every day, top open to the sky all day. I can hear him goose it from across the parking lot...1/4 mile away.
(some would say they're all a little boring until the RS4
)Uh, the 944 Turbo is the more interesting car.

SWEEEEEEEET SHOTS Exigeracer!!

Thanks folks.
Yep, F430 Scuderia. Even at idle it sounded mean, and I've heard my share of F430s (stock, modified, Challenge etc). He didn't really open up the valves even.
And yes, it appeared to be a stock Gallardo Spider painted matte black. There was some visible piping up front, which could've been IC packaging, but could've also been radiator work.

Do you photograph as a profession or aspire to? or just do it for the hell of it?
