I have a cousin who has around 8 or 9 old and somewhat desirable cars just sitting out in the weather. I was talking to a guy who restores cars and he wanted a couple of the 64 Mustangs.

I phoned my cousin and he said they were not for sale. Ten years later, they are still rusting away.

these “guys” may have been out in the weather for very many decades.

I dont know the year of the blue truck...the tractor...or the partially moss covered brown truck...But Im glad I encountered them.

My dad knows a widowed lady who was left a vintage Toyota landcruiser that the deceased was working on.

It was done up nicely but no engine and some minor things weren’t done.

She was fine with leaving it out in the weather to rust. She thinks her idiot son will eventually do something with it. The lady will not sell it for anything.

My dad was able to talk her into letting him keep it in a building of his.

My Brother still has the 32 Ford 5 Window Deuce Coupe he bought when he was a Teenager. He got the rolling Chassis for $325.

He put in a 283 Chevy Engine, Four Speed Close Ratio Transmission and a .456 Positraction Rear End.

Did all the work by himself. Never got it repainted though. Drag Raced it a few times, drove it around town for a while and put it in the Garage.

Fifty Years Later, it’s still there.
