Classic Cars, Rusting Away!!
December 21, 2008 – 4:15 amWe’ve all seen ‘em. Driving down the road and you see something out of the corner of your eye. So you look, and there it is. Back there behind the barn, or sitting in the back yard. A piece of American Automotive History just sitting there rusting away. What A Shame!!
You drive by it several times. Finally you decide that you are going to check and see if the owner wants to sell it. You knock on the door, and a 90 year old lady answers. You talk to her about the car, she tells you that it was her husbands favorite car and she is going to have her son “fix it up”. But for the next 10 years you drive by it, and the car has not moved. Infact if anything, they have just piled more junk on top of it. You think to yourself, “What A Waste”.
Surfing the web, I have found a website that is dedicated to cars just sitting there rotting away. It’s called Cars In Barns. Check it out, you’ll be amazed at what you see. Everything from Classic Mustangs, to Chevy Muscle, to Mopar Wing Cars. Some are beyond saving, others are not so bad. None the less, it is enough to make the car lover or gear head sick.

Hugh – that one looks a little rough. :)
I remember before I bought my mustang, I had my eye on a 65 Mustang fastback that was sitting in a garage/shed. I want it bad…but it wasn’t for sale even though it had not been driven or moved in years. Still, to this day, it sits and no one has done anything with it. So sad…
