Title: If you like classic Chevrolets
Post by: Jacob on July 04, 2013, 02:10:26 PM
Then this story is for you. ~500 classic American cars "found", some with as little as 10-40 miles on them.

I have already begun a time capsule of my own. So far I have Fiat Multipla and several versions of the Smart Car.

2063 be ready.

This is precisely why I should have money.  Just for this thing, this one thing.

Follow the link to the auctioneer's site and check out the inventory manifest.  Shitload number of Fords as well.  Fairlanes, Galaxies from the 50s and 60s.

This is news? Shit, I can get you at least five old, "classic" Chevys for a low price. Let's say $1,000. :)

(Disclaimer: They're in the middle of Nowhere, Arkansas, they don't have engines, the odometer is sky-high, and they've all got wasp nests and trees and shit growing through them. Also, you have to haul them away.)

But honestly, wtf. 500 cars littering a farm? God damn, I thought my grandfather has a problem with his collection of shitty old cars that haven't moved in ~40 years.
