Since we are talking about missing musclecars how about ROTTING MUSCLECARS? This example a 1970 LT1 is rotting around the corner from me,the owner says he is going to fix it up,That was over 5 yrs ago when i asked him if he would want to sell it.He since filled the tires with air at least LOL

Maybe it is just me but I have found it has gotten worse since they started seeing the auctions on TV. At one time when you tried to go to the door and ask they would either let the dog out after you, scream no it is not for sale or not answer the door. Now I am finding most want to talk and tell you that car is worth 50,000 are you willing to pay me that if not get off my property.
This past summer I pushed a 70 chevelle SS body I have had for a while outside for maybe a month while I did some wiring in a new garage. Within a week it was so bad with people coming to the door my wife begged me to hurry up and put it back inside.
They seen one 70 go for over a million and think anything with a cowl hood is worth the same.

Not a mainstream musclecar, but a neighbor of my father has a 70 Mercury Cyclone with it's original 429 drivetrain. Tried to buy it a couple times years ago, but he never wanted to sell. A few years ago, he got so sick of people knocking on the door, he built a 3 stall garage and moved it inside. Sat outside for at least 20 years, so it is in pretty rough shape. It's all there though.

There is a 1968 Chevelle SS396 sitting near my parents house. It has been sitting since the mid 80's and the last time i took a look at it there was a tree growing though it. The story goes that the engine blew up and the owners pulled it out but that is as far as they got. The rumor is that there is a fresh 396 sitting in there garage. Why the car is not inside the garage is anyones guess.

there is a local law here about cars without plates and green slime running down the back of your home; both strictly prohibited, as are clothes lines in the front yard.
the only rotting hulks I can see are pumpkins and squash.

I just came home from Long Island for the holidays. I took the train into New York one day, and from the train I saw quite a few nice 60s cars sitting rusting in tightly packed storage lots, and behind buildings. It really is sad. We don't have that type of thing very much up here in Maine, but one day I was out driving when I spotted this. 67 SS in code M royal plum paint and black bench seat interior. The house looked deserted so I decided to poke around a bit. Under the rotted hood sat the numbers matching engine, complete up to the air cleaner, and inside, all the four speed stuff is there up to even the original boot and knob. Only options were tinted windsheild and 4 speed. The plates were last registered in 84, and it is currently sitting on the crager rims, all 4 tires are rotted. The body is suprisingly great, with no rot in the doors, fenders of quarters, just the hood. I hate to see it sitting there uncovered!! I've knocked on the door everytime I go by, but nobodys ever there, so maybe I should check with the town office on the status of the place. Until than, it will sit through the rain and snow. I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon, unless that anywhere is in my garage! 
See the attatchment

I hope there is some way I can get it, just so it will be protected from the elements. I drove by the other day and it was covered in snow once again. Ive heard that Royal Plum was the rarest color in 67. It looks horrible in its current state, but when it is new, it looks really good.

If the house is empty I suggest you find out very quickly who lived there and try to get into contact with them or a relative. I have been no pun intended burned twice over the years when faced with a similiar situation. First one was a factory 65 impala 396 4spd by a deserted house I kept driving buy until some kids burned the house down and the car with it.
Months after I seen a car with out of province plates in the yard and dropped in.
Original owner of the car passed away this was his grandson who would have given me the car if I had of contacted him at the time. He just wanted the properly cleaned up so he could sell it.
Second one was only 5 years ago. Out hunting I found an original 70SS 454 conv complete in a shed, very rusty but complete. House empty. This time I started to ask but obvious too much. Guy next door told his chevelle bud who in turn just went in with a wrecker and took it. It was totally parted out within a weekend and nobody ever came looking for it other than me.
Good Luck

Steve,
To see an SS rotting away is one thing. To lift the hood
and see what appears to be an original 396 sitting there
rotting as well is criminal.
Get a cheap tarp & cover the car for posterity sake. Maybe
the owner will see the tarp and call the number ( you placed
under it - with a purchase offer  )

I agree, its terrible that the Chevelle is dying over there. I drove by again today and it was covered in snow  I went to the town office and was able to get the peoples names, but no phone number. I think I will just keep driving by until I see a car there, and maybe I will luck out one of these days. Its just all the little things about it that amaze me. The fact that it's been sitting on a fairly busy road for 23 years and nobody has taken anything from it, not even the shifter ball or air cleaner. I know there arent many more cars like this just sitting outside neglected, so I just really want to get it before anything worse happens to it.

You should try using "google.com" to research those names for an address or phone other than Maine, maybe a summer home. Wait to long and someone else will hook up with it.They may even have mail forwarding, check with the Post office.

This 70 SS Chevelle has been sitting in this EXACT spot since at least 1979. The first time I saw it in 79 it was PERFECT. Over the years I think every car guy in PA has tried to buy it. I don't know if it would even be worth messing with now.

Another couple of years and it probably would have started to rot..fortunately it was in So Cal in a tow yard and had been through a lien sale... I found it and was fortunate enough to have been able to buy it. MacNeish saw the car and said even the points in the distributor were original

The pic of the vette on the pile is on Boston Road right near the boarder of the bronx and pelham. The Getty station is now a Lukoil gas station. It's off the Boston Rd exit on Hutch. There used to be an old Mobil station next to it. That went out of business about 4 or 5 yrs ago.

ha! Lemme dig up picks of the Coronet pre-resto, you ain't seen nothing yet. I am in the heating and cooling business and spend a lot of time driving around the country side in the area and everywhere I go I see all sorts of forgotten muscle dying of cancer. I'll take my camera to work next week and post some photos. There is a guy about 30 minutes north of here who has 20-30 68-89 vettes and camaro's in a circle facing his building. It will make you cry. I've never been able to catch the guy there and no one seems to know who owns the place.

I'd be willing to make an attempt to get it. The ramp going to the door is all dirt and rock. "Should" be able to just hook a strap up and pull it out. Most of those structures are well built and solid until the wood rots. Not uncommon to see buildings like that in the area. All stone shells, wood is long gone. Looks like they already braced the retaining wall on the ramp. Well, somewhat braced. Any idea who owns it?

I have gone by this house, left notes with my name and number on the door several times to no avail. The back of the house is rented out and those people of course know nothing and can't help. There has been a '66 Mustang sitting outside for 15+ years. It looks like it was in very nice shape when it was parked - But...... This Lincoln will probably go down the hard way before anyone makes up their mind what they want to do with it.

Dog, you should be able to get the mailing address of the owner at the local tax assessors office. It is a matter of public record and there should be no fee involved to view the tax bill and who is paying it. Good Luck

That Lincoln is a '56. There were two models, as far as I know - Capri and Premiere, with the latter being the top trim level. I think they are the best year for the era.

WOW it looks like the barn belongs in Bam Margera's back yard along with that castle he lives in over there in Westchester... are there alot of structures like that up there?
PLEASE do not let Bam get ahold of the Lincoln... it would be turned in to a Skate car or worse...
Maybe its Don Vito's barn
