Interesting. First off, they’ll all need new tires (not an expensive endeavor) as the rubber will have oxidized (or something chemically will have occurred) rendering the tires, at the very least, unsafe.
Second, there’s no better example of how cars are RARELY an investment as they’ll all have depreciated despite the fact that they’ve never been owned or driven. Lets assume they would have cost $11K when new (just a guess) - now think - how much would you pay for a hyper-low mileage, 14 year old Neon? $5 grand? Me? I’d pay $4K or so. They’d be great send off to college cars. Or pizza delivery vehicles.

Swell. These cars could be 50 years old and still worth nothing. Not all cars are collectable. Just ask the guys who own 60's vintage 4 door Plymouth Vaniants with slant 6's.

A barn find usually indicates that you have found something rare and or valuable. A Dodge neon is neither.

1. “Valiants”
2. The slant-6 is the only valuable piece on board...provided you re-wire the engine’s electrical system using after market material. MOPAR and alternators are not the greatest combination but I’d pay decent money for a slant-6 (re-fitted for a Chevy Vega?)

Not necessarily. The tires might have flat spots on them. Other than that they should be fine.Three years ago I bought a 97 Grand Marquis with 3990 miles on it with the original tires. I put 30,000 miles on them without any problems. It was a garage kept car.

I think it was called a Valiant and my folks owned a station wagon with the rear facing fold down rear seat. Awesome car.
To: Red Badger
What year did they start offering the “Super Bee” package?

Green Accord is talking about what is known as “dry rot” and he’s correct, the tires will need to be replaced.

I was a nicely restored 1960 Valiant sedan with a “fresh” Kennedy-Johnson bumper sticker in the Roche Brothers parking lot in Acton, MA recently. Man, did that bring back memories.
