I would love so much to give even one of these a new home and loving restoration.

#3 that's an edsel...leave it in there. Ugliest grill ever.
Oldcarsarecool
It can still bring good money. I'd own it ! https://azure.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1958-EDSEL-PACER-CONVERTIBLE-199276

This makes me happy and sad.

My abandoned Beauty thats getting restored https://imgur.com/fT9vWj9
Llamapalooser
Got an idea how much it would cost to restore a car in that condition?
Jackwithoneeye
over time you will spend a least $20,000 or more
usersubbordercontrol
Have I seen this on the road?.... What state you in?
Jackwithoneeye
Not yet. but i have seen similar out there. I am in south dakota
usersubbordercontrol
Ah. New Jersey here
hotbeef69
Get that rust taken care of man!! Gonna be beautiful when done
Jackwithoneeye
I’m glad most of it is surface rust
Phatplat
It’s always some old guy “not for sale!” and then they just let it rot.

"I'm gonna restore it"
intaglioguy
A classmate was killed when a car landed on him. His dad took his son's car, locked it in a shed. Refused to sell it because he didn't 1/

2/ want another father to endure the loss he did. The family sold the car after the dad died. The son was driving another car when he died.
regularhooligan
I know right?? It’s like they enjoy watching people get upset that a cars is going to waste.
intaglioguy
Sometimes grief of loss is involved. Many went to Vietnam and didn't return to get their vehicle. Saw this too often in my youth.
addms
8 up from the bottom, the 964 and supra were in the Texas floods. A guy had an E36 and jacked it onto bricks in his garage and saved it.
eeskay
When I jack it onto bricks I don’t save it.
toddscat
But that one car covered in plastic is ok?
nolittleplans
Yeah buddy, it's gonna be just fine
Pyrohawk
Is that the Red Barchetta I heard about?

My uncle has a country place that no-one knows about

Would you be will to dm me about this country place? I restore cars and am always looking for parts.

#3 is an extremely rare 1958 Edsel Pacer convertible, one of 1,876 made that year.
GuW69
That's not rare, I know a guy who owns a Saab Catherina, one of 2 made... The other one is in the SAAB museum
Oldcarsarecool
Compared to that, no. But in the grand scheme of collector cars, 1,876 units is considered a low number.
GuW69
1876 a year, was it?
Oldcarsarecool
1/3 For 1958, Edsel produced 1,876 Pacer convertibles and 930 Citation convertibles for a total of 2,806 convertible for the model year.
Oldcarsarecool
2/3 For 1959, the only Edsel convertible available was produced on the Corsair platform only, and 1,343 were made.
imOffTopic
I'm going to need the location of each photo
JeckFarter
This 930 Porsche by Almeras is a rarity... 441 bhp in 1984!

I wish these had contact info! So many projects for me to get half finished.

This is pretty much torture to car people.
sammysixshooter
If i had anyone of these cars it would be treated like a queen. Not lost and forgotten
carsandpibblesarelife
Can confirm.
Racing82
Yes. Yes it is.
cooladrenaline
My soul hurts seeing this
ping0s
Jackpot for those holding it and keep the petina though.
TheDrunkenHuntsman
Patina and letting something valuable rot into the ground because you can't afford to restore it are 2 totally different things!
leodavinci1
Yep. Although it's one thing to see cars in a building, it's entirely different when you see them rusting away outdoors. A real shame.
viludium
There' a ma70 supra rusting on someones front yard in my hometown. I wish i would be able to save that car. But that's impossible currently.
IanMawson
Grab some pictures next time your passing! ????
viludium
Maybe. Allthough that car is almost on other side of the town so i always pass it by bus or by car.
ipoopdogpoop
right where I live there's a lot of omni glh's and other compact delights I would love to restore.

When I was young there was a daytona in a car lot for Years. No one wanted them at all.
bfreeze01
Like this probably.
hotbeef69
I was wondering that. Should be illegal
Vergenbuurg
The '70s weren't kind. '60s muscle cars, of any kind, were essentially worthless. Not old enough to be collectable; gas prices killed 'em.
clutchthepearls
Oil crisis of the late 70s.
LilSaint001
Most cases is owner stored it and died. either relatives ddnt bother checking or the new owners ddnt care either
Dorsk84
That should be a crime.
imgCitizenZero
Dump it at during a bootlegger’s run and forget where in the woods you left it.
ramblinrebel
easy: they say I am going to do something with it some day!( they almost never do)
MercuryGreen
Blow the engine or transmission. Fry the electrics. Crack the frame. Lots of ways to make it too expensive to fix, but doesn't look too bad.
Tsublaki
All reparable or replaceable for resto builds. Unfortunately few have that kind of capital or interest these days.
Dorsk84
I have all the interest. Just poor AF
HaulinOats
The superbird/Daytona’s weren’t very popular when they came out
Dorsk84
About as easily and some of those MB 300SL gullwings. They are $2.5mil each. When full restored.
ScaredSpitless
srsly...that one hurts
potatothegreat
And a barn full of corvettes. Makes me sad. That MB looked gorgeous
Theseph
Or one of those Daytonas, those go for a lot more than that. Crazy

WHO ABANDONS A FERRARI DINO???
somewhatalways
Them...
CotterPyke
i used to work at a large airport in california-a lot of cars were owned by rich foreign students, they abandoned their cars at the 2/
CotterPyke
airport when they went home. Might have been a 3 year old BMW or Mercedes, people would just leave them there.

There was a fabulous Dino on Jay Leno’s garage, yesterday https://youtu.be/qnt0DNqJYvM

That supra and escort.. I'm sad
GuyFromDeathValley
same. two great cars. Really a shame.
Bob570
They're not even that old, and they appear to have been abandoned a long time ago, why???

C'Mon man I can only get so hard. +1

Only debatable one is the Escort XR3i.

Search for abandoned cars in dubai airport.

Search the bodies of modern-day slave workers buried in the foundation of other Dubai buildings.

Jay Leno is fapping to this post
GokuIsABadFather
I've seen enough tv to know someone got murdered in that buried one
Snusnuannihilator
It was actually insurance fraud
Shellbear3000
Why would you abandon those???? Especially all those jeeps!
GuW69
Surplus Jeeps has always been plenty, I want a few to restore
Wellfuckmesideways
What is that in #11? I don’t recognize that rear. I’m assuming something not sold in the us
Oldcarsarecool
According to this - https://www.carthrottle.com/post/n4v32oo/ - it's a Marcos LM series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcos_Engineering

Interesting, thanks
OddlyPacific
The second from the last is probably the most valuable.
Oldcarsarecool
Oh no, not by a long shot. The Ferrari next to it, (car in the last pic), sold for $2.5 million. The Cobra brought just over $1 million.
OddlyPacific
Clearly, I was Miss Taken
Dravit
Nope; that'd be the 300SLs...
AleksHari
The Miuras should be just slightly more valuable no?
Dravit
An 300SL would be worth double the Miura...
OddlyPacific
Maybe I'm mistaken. Is that a red Barchetta or a Siata 208s?
Dravit
Rear arch is wrong for a Siata 208s? It's not flared like that...
OddlyPacific
If the Mercedes were the stainless steel one, there would be no question.
Dravit
Also a Siata 208s doesn't have the grille between the bumper and the indicator?
OddlyPacific
Nvm. It's probably a cobra replicar
