[chunkybs]

cool article on Jalopnik today about abandoned race cars, sad to see these cars rotting and not tearing up tracks still.

here's a link to the article, there are two links in it with more pics. http://jalopnik.com/this-collection-of-abandoned-racecars-will-break-your-h-1446646131

If this type of thing interests you, check out the link below. Greg is my good buddy's dad - he's doing a "concourse" restoration of the car - getting it back to the exact state it was when it broke the record.

I saw an article and photo not too long ago where this guy was using a 1969 Boss 429 Mustang as a dog house. Some people I swear

Agreed thats tuff is sad.
How has no-one snagged these things up and at least tried to sell the parts to someone who WILL use them.

Better that then let them just sit and rot.

Cool post, pretty sad though for sure. Hard to believe some of these cars are just sitting there forgotten like that.

I think I could save the paint on a few of those. This was much more sad than I thought it would be.

That car will be insanely correct when it's done. I know Greg and the amount of time he's put into research on it. Its all in the details with him. Very cool car.

Agreed - that guy's attention to the small details is astonishing. I actually haven't been over to his place to see it in years, I really look forward to checking it out soon.

in alaska there are fields with cars that have been there for decades. no rust as it is to cold to use salt. instead they put done pepples
