Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
[b] Found this 67/68 ? Cougar XR-7 on a back road over near Atglen today. It was sitting for quite
some time out in the woods, as the full glove box will confirm. Shame, its an a/c car with the fancy dash with all the gauges and toggle switches. - - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot151.jpg - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot149.jpg - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot153.jpg - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot152.jpg - - There was a man coming out of a building next to it when I pulled up, and he told me it was his sons car. He had gotten it from an old man who had worked for Ford and had a few of these and when he bought a new one, he just parked the old one in the woods! We got to talking and he told me he restored cars, would I like to see what he was working on. We went inside the building, which he later told me was where the Chalfont automobile was produced from early 1900's until the first world war. After that it was a Buick dealership. I went inside expecting maybe Mustang's or Camaro's but found something quite different. Inside were a couple of Rolls Royce's, a boattailed speedster (I believe he said it was a '32 Packard) and much more. The man was an artisan, the craftsmanship was unbelievable! There was a Chevy Woodie he had rebodied that was fantastic! He had cars there that he was hand making body panels for. It was amazing to find this level of craftsmenship in an unmarked building out in the middle of nowhere. - - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot155.jpg - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot156.jpg - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot161.jpg - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot160.jpg - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot154.jpg - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot157.jpg - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot159.jpg - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...427435/rot.jpg - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot162.jpg - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot158.jpg - |

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
Okay...my turn! Since I always have my camera with me...I decided to shoot a few pictures of 2 cars in Southern California that have been at the same house (in basically the same place in the driveway) since before Holly was born (Holly is 17 now https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif )
SS Chevelle....used to be partly dark blue and GTX http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...n_DSCF8562.jpg http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...n_DSCF8563.jpg The Mustang out front is a newer addition...LOL http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...n_DSCF8561.jpg |

[b] My friend Rick bought this off E-bay a while back and it has assumed this position on his lift since then.
It has some type of custom body with a VW / Porsche engine combo - - - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot166.jpg - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot164.jpg - - I have passed this race truck sitting outside a local junk yard for at least the past year. - - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot168.jpg - http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/rot169.jpg - |
Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
judging by the ex cop car sitting in the same yard as that GTX,im assuming somebody does a lot of municipal auction seeking,probably picked all those cars up at the same auction he got the cop car at for next to nothing,and hell fix them all up one day.lol.
