Default Monte Spotting - Abandoned House

Saw this 3rd (?) generation Monte in the driveway of a house. The house is in a nice neighborhood. Wonder what story lies behind someone leaving treasures behind to rot away?



Rotted rolled up carpet blocks it's way



Years of moss and mold.


License tags show expired in 2003. Singleton Chevrolet was the Chevy dealer in town 3 dealerships ago.

I want that bad boy! Either a 79 or an 80. 78 didn't have "wrap around" taillights.

I know here in Ohio you spot a car like this and ask the Highway Patrol if they will help you find the owner................ they will not give out any info, THEN they'll have the car towed.

Happened to me more then once.

It does make one wonder why any car may be "abandoned" for a long length of time. The parking lot I park in has a new(er) (not sure of year) Lincoln Town Car. Been in the same spot for over 1-2 weeks (heck it was fined last week by the parking company that runs the lot).

Like space said, wonder if there's a body as a free add on!

Or in the case of the Lincoln, did the owner go to work, have a medical emergency and no one think to get their car home?
