Old cars rotting away on your route?

[Interceptor]

Lol thanks. With 91 it gets 17 city and up to 28hwy. My tune on e85 is Cadillac smooth but horrible mpg. Best on E85 is maybe 12 with lots of hwy driving

Looks like it could be the Beverly Hillbillies truck!

The running gear on that will soon be a utility trailer/cart on the farm. The rest, scrap.

Found this gem today, I want to adopt it. I believe it to be a 1935 cadillac. Its pretty toasty, but the grill and the moldings could be worth some dough. Id like to save it. Quite a few parts still usable and original.

 

[toonertoo]

And the money shot, LOL

Sorry, Tooner. The grille and side trim 'might' be salvageable, but the rest looks likes a thin layer of iron oxide ready to turn to dust.

 

[toonertoo]

Yes, I want to salvage, not restore. But I cant find the owner.

Rather surprising it isn't riddled with bullet holes.

It reminds me of a bonnie and clyde car. Pretty Boy Floyd was shot about 20 miles from my house.

You should go back and take the grille.

Clean it up just a little (don't try to make it perfect), and hang it on a wall.

Give the Gas Monkeys about a hundred grand and they could bring it back to life--or at least try.


p.s.-----that don't look like any money shot I've seen

Just cut off the piece with the VIN and build a new car and call it a "restoration".

That would be a nice piece, imho

 

[toonertoo]

IDK, Iam in love, I got to go back and see it

How many times have we seen that on those car shows. For the most part I don't even watch them anymore.

That looks like my package car.

 

[toonertoo]

I know it cannot be rebuilt, it is alone in a field, with other junk cars, much newer tho. I just have this connection with it. IDK why. I want to salvage what is left of it. Its not even a real popular item. It is so pretty, rustic, awesome. And I know I am alone, in my feeling, just like it is.
