At least the one in the first pic is 'off the ground'!

Couldn't agree more Mar.. Shame to see these like this..

 

[MarPar]

couple more...non-mopars, but a damn shame nonetheless.

Dead and brought back back as Frankenstein

Dead and brought back back as Frankenstein

And here I thought there wasn't anything you could do to a Vette to make it look better.

Oh boy, If this has been seen, my inlaws are coming to visit again.

So sad to see the Ferrari 365 GTB(-/4?) and the Lambo Muira just rotting. I love me some Daytona;I'd save that car!

 

[detmatt1]

That's hilarious Ron!
I would save any one of those non Mopar cars especially the Cobra Daytona!(the Mopars go without saying)

The Miura is a gorgeous car but that tube bumper doesn't do it any justice!

And speaking of Miuras, this clip may qualify as left for dead - complete with a very efficient on the spot memorial.

Unfortunately I don't have to go further than my own shop to see my own 68 RR left for dead! Yeah, in the immortal words of Pa Kettle - I'm gonna get around to fixin' that one of these days!

 

[MalamuteJohn]

Well, that Daytona Coupe is/was far from left for dead...it just sat for years and then was the subject of a huge and interesting lawsuit involving Phil Spector. The woman who owned the car DID set herself and her bunny rabbit on fire though...

Here are a few that are in a boneyard about an hour from me. They have been picked over but still have a little more to give. I was there today taking what I could from a 69 Satellite 4 door.

 

[MoparBill]

Here's a few more- A 69 Coronet post, a third generation Charger and a 68 Belvedere post- all becoming one with the earth. Sorry about the up close pics but if you get further away the cars get hidden by the brush! I was literally 10 feet from a challenger and couldn't see it.

 

[Budnicks]

So Sad, that's just So Sad... That 65 Daytona Shelby is 1 of 6 EVER BUILT... Way too much great Mopar & Brand-X Iron out there wasting away to nothing... I'm also somewhat procrastinating some myself, taking way too long to finish my latest project, but my car isn't rotting away in a field & or forest somewhere...

wtf is wrong with people

Yeah;WTF is up with that bumper? Noticed an XK120/140 in another pic. AAARRRRGGGHHHH!

 

[Dako]

Yeah;WTF is up with that bumper?

Looks like someone 'had plans' to make it a rallye car, or it 'once was' a rallye car...the 'bumper' looks like a light-bar.

You too? That's exactly the reaction I had when I first bumped into the CIB site. Broken heart, 100%. My wife thought it was hilarious. Then she saw an episode of 'Overhaulin' where a big burly guy sobbed like a baby when he saw the new Hemi they'd put into his rebuilt RR convertible. Thought that was funny too, but she said "I think I get it." But now that she's been part-owner (and part-driver) of a Bird of her own for four years, she totally understands. Says if I kick and one of the kids wants the car, she'll fight to the death to keep it for herself because she loves it. :grin:
