Not muscle but interesting! An old barn on a back road near me recently fell apart, and exposed this '57 Lincoln that hasn't seen the sun in years.   [/ QUOTE ] I didn't know there were Lincolns at the Alamo---- Is there a ramp on the other side of those doors....

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
a good sized cherry picker with some tami-lift boat straps will get that out. I think it IS muscle for its day.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
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?

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
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.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
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
and your photos rock !!

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
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.
