Decaying Musclecars
 

20 + years have past since this article. How many have been resurrected, crushed or continue to deteriorate. Please share any pics of recent decaying cars you have found...

These cars have been in plain sight on a very busy road since I was a kid (I'm 46). They move around from time to time. The split window is the only one I care about, and I intentionally don't drive that way anymore so I don't need to get depressed.

There is a red 63 split window, another C2 convertible under one cover, and at least three C3's. The crown jewel is either the brown Eldorado or the Allante, obviously.

No, I won't share the locale in deference to the owner's privacy. These pictures are off Google earth. I am not a nosy person myself, and don't like nosy people...

Here is one..

'68 Z28 RS that's been sitting for at least 40 years. It was sitting in the dirt for most of that time, but got drug up on this concrete a few years ago. My brother tried to buy it 40 years ago, but the owner was going to fix it up some day.

1970 Firebird Formula 400
 

This 1970 Pontiac Formula 400 is being dug out by a member of our Facebook group. He’s been documenting all the work just getting it out at this point. It’s a divorce, hide it in the woods story LOL…. 12Kmi, parked in ‘78. Amazingly, it’s in better shape than anticipated.

You can page thru and check out more photos / videos here. I think it should go on a trailer straight to MCACN as is!!

I've seen the progress pics on FB too, I'm surprised the car isn't rougher.

72 Chevelle SS454
 

Don't have much back story on this one but picked it up near Denver a couple of weeks ago. No keys with it so had to drill the trunk lock and found a box of National Geographic magazines dated 1984 inside. Appears to have sat in outside storage since then after a fender bender. Real deal SS 454 W vin code car. Bucket seats and turbo 400 on the floor.
Plan is to hang another fender and install one of my 454 turbo 400 combos to get it running. Should be a fun ride.
