..Some of you may already know about this web site. Cars In Barns features
cars and some trucks that are scattered all over this country and Canada
and even Afganistan ( recently ). I find this stuff facinating but sad at the
same time.
A word of warning, some of these photos and stories might bring a man or woman
to tears....the rotting 58 Corvette.......Cuda with a tree growing through it.......A Shelby Mustang covered up in weeds...etc...etc......sigh...!

Enjoy but get a kleenex....

that has to be one of my favorite websights of all time! probibly because me & my dad have been "hunting" for vintage tin like that scince i was old enough to walk. actually, im pretty good friends with at least one of the more prominent contributors of that site, and have gottten to see some of those cars firsthand. heck, i was walking through a junkyard with him yesterday some of the vehicles on there truly do make ya wanna cry.

if anyone is interested, i can post links to my photobucket albums with a couple of the old car stashes i have gotten pictures of... i think there may be more pics im my main album, too.

the most recent was eagles crook, there was a TON of old cars & trucks in a private colection, the most easily valuble was the white '68 road runner 2 door sedan, but also a goldmine of parts. sadly everything was crushed by the state except my '425 nailhead engine i managed to rescue

and then the junkyard i visited over the summer. almost everything worth saving in that one was sold off to be used for parts or restored entirely

.....those are some pretty neat photos.
I got myself a Nikon L100 before Christmas. I want to go around the state
( Arkansas ) and photograph old cars and trucks. It is something that has always facinated me.
There is a 35-38 Chevy truck inside a mini storage place that is next to a Krogers.
I can see it through the fence. And yeah.."It's Not For Sale ".
Sad.......it is just rusting away.

 

yha, quite a bit of the stuff that used to be sitting locally around here is long gone, unfortinitly.

i'd say some of my best finds were the '67 chevelle 300 sedan someone had made into an SS, 350 / th350, black interior with buckets and a console. i ALMOST had that one for $850, and all it needed was a windsheild and a good cleaning. and along with the chevelle, i ALMOST had a halfway restored '67 skylark 2 door hardtop with a compleatly rebuilt driveline for, get this, $50, with no title. there was also a '51 chevy longbed pickup that woulda been a great ratrod for $200... but then the owners wife stepped in and said "they were worth more" and would not let me buy em. and the junkman got 'em

another good one is the 75k mile '70 mustang mach1 i found in a garage where it had sat scince about 1985. 351 cleaveland, c6 auto, shaker hood scoop, stripe deleate, medium blue with a white bucket seat interior.

my cousin told my dad there is neat stuff setting everywhere down there in arkansas, thats another reason he wants to move down there, lol

 

I get a tear every time i visit that site.

Ryasn, your Dad is thinking of moving down south? You planning on coming also?

 

Don't leave NEPA!!!!!! haha

 

It's a real shame about the winged cars - that just breaks my heart.

 

yha, thats been his currant dream for a while now, ever scince my cousin moved down to fordyce arkansas, in the more southwest aerea of the state. housing is dirt cheap for a nice home, and, at least before the resession, he heard work for a mechanic was around, and a helluva lot closer than where he's gotta commute now. he wants to wait until i graduate this year, then hopefully me & him are gonna travel down there & check out the work scene / housing, and probibly stay with my cousin. of course that is a BIG "mabe" scenario. its by far not great where we are now, but its "good enough"

and of course i would follow, at least for a while sorry mike, lol.

here's one from carsinbarns my dad spotted ( he is the guy who bought the anglia) while attending the '85 carlisle with the sender of the photos ( same guy i was just at the junkyard with) its the yellow chevelle at the bottem.

South East of Pine Bluff, in the Delta.
I have heard that there is a field of Super-Birds somewhere south of Pine Bluff ?
Little Rock is such a small city that it only takes about 15min. in any direction
and you are out of the city and I have seen several neglected vehicles just rotting
on the front porch ( figure of speech ). of some of these homes. There was a once a yard
full of Opel GT's ( mini Corvette ) just west of L.R. It's gone now.
It's fun just to look around for these "Diamonds in the Rough "

 

Little Rock isnt TOO far from us. Maybe i'll make a run there one day.
