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

Ah, dah. Tree'd. Rare Sonoramic Wedge from the early 60s, pretty cool looking engoines, altough they were not that fast. Stupid rare today, and you wouldn't believe the prices of those log manifolds...

I know. What about the rest of those HEMI engines, all 50's blocks. All complete.

Edit: It was a Desoto engine block. TurboFlash.

I was reading through this thinking how great it would be to find something like this. Then it hit me that my uncle has a late 80's early 90's Honda Prelude outside his house that hasn't moved in probably 10 years.
Also remembered my granda has a few Morris Minors in a shed. All striped to bare shells but in perfect condition. They might not have seen light in 20 years.
Will try to get photos up.

To it's 2.25 million shape in 2006:

CANO, that FB33 made me tear up!

I spotted this Grand Am today, it was truly odd. Not the usual abandoned car.

Noup. I'v e seen that pic several times while looking for cars to post here and I don't have an idea.

Also, that Super Bee crushes my heart, that is the EXACT muscle car I want when I win the lottery, I love that twin-grille front-end. In fact, I had some money down already on a base 1970 Coronet, but some dude came money-in-cash and offered the owner more than he had asked me for it. So there went my car. Then life intervened, I got married and there hasn't been disposable income for a project that big. But some day.

And also, that Ferrari Barcheta is in the first post of this thread (:

That really happened to you? Man I can't even imagine how upset I would be if something similar happened to me. I mean it's great that you got married and such, probably way better than getting a car, but that would still suck a lot.

Didn't they use these in the old Leman's races?

EDIT: Kinda looks like the Porsche 908 but the headlights are different.

Found this poor sucker on the side of the road.

Yes, and it was even worse because I know where the car ended up after this guy took it away. It lives relatively near my house now, the guy slapped in a horrible set of wheels, half-car side pipes and painted it white with badly done "Super Bee" quarter decoration. It now sits on two flats, covered in dust. Not for sale.

So this lives in the village where I grew up, it's a 1968 Morris Minor 1000. I know for sure it hasn't moved in at least 25 years. Just left on some ones front lawn, the house has been abandoned for some time too, thought I'd take some pics... I

^ Very sad dude where in the UK is that?

Little village called Flecknoe on the Warwickshire/Northamptonshire border.

The car can be seen here - it's the white blob infront of the house on the corner.

Here's your Mercury Cyclone Spoiler Cale Yarboroguh Special:


Or a Dan Gurney, your choice:


Or if you fancy rarer blue oval muscle...

I didn't notice the Trans Am until you pointed it out. It really does look out of place.

Also Cano, I'll take the Cale Yarboroguh Special Mercury Cyclone, thanks.

Something a bit different. All these nearly new cars sat here since the early 90's:

Got damn that's an amazing place. Any info on these? I mean, how come? Very VERY cool pictures too. I love urban exploration.

slight bump, and while this is not exactly in the vein of this thread, it's a shocking pic indeed, some people will weep with this I'm sure.

Get me that Malibu SS, you know how rare those are. The chevy II Nova SS is what I really want but that thing is just as good to me.

Seeing all those Ferrari like that is really sad
They look like some sort of test vehicles or race cars.
