this 74 Corvette was hit while parked in front of this repair shop so, it went on the lift to fix, but life and business got in the way, and there it sat since 76 with only 1k miles on it.

The roof has been leaking and falling-in for over a decade

The car is rough from being neglected, but still wears it's original tires, hoses, filters, etc.

Shelves were erected around it, literally no way to get it out of there easily. It would legitimately take you a week to get the car out of there.

This abandoned 1970 Porsche 911 Targa spent more than three decades sitting in the same spot in Idaho,

Originally sold through legendary Porsche dealer Vasek Polak in California, the car racked up 101,000 miles on adventures across the western United States and into Canada.

Porsche 911 Targas in good condition can fetch anywhere from around $80,000 to well over $100,000, depending on condition

Whatever the seller asked for it, was likely the right amount

Cleaning out pine cones is not a big deal though, based on the photos

Seventeen-year-old Danny Banks bought this 70 Chevelle, LS 6 to race with... aluminum intake, 4492 Holley, turbo 400, and 4.10 gears

Danny would arrive at the meet up in a humble Pinto, find the fastest car in town, and agree to race for cash. Then he'd vanish, return with his secret weapon Chevelle, swap on slicks, and uncap the headers

It stayed hidden in a barn, coming out only when the stakes were high. 

He parked it in his garage in 1988, and it stayed there until after he recently died. Now his family is selling it.

a 1960 DB 4 with just 37,000 miles, came to auction, out of a collapsed garage, where it had been forgotten for 35 years, and sold for £145,000 (thank you Stephen R!)

“The garage it was in, the roof had gone completely,” Derek explains. “It was quite clear that the owner never went in there, blanked the car out of his mind. The Aston was tucked away, with flat tyres that we pumped up, and a tree blocking its exit that we had to cut down."

New owner Julian Crossley is no stranger to restorations so his plan for the DB4 is to show how much restoration you can do at home, even on an Aston Martin! Using specialists where needed, Julian will be sharing the restoration journey to encourage others into restoring cars. Work will start as soon as the NEC show is over, and you can follow the restoration on Crossley Motorsport’s Instagram channel.

Alan owned this 289 Cobra for decades, started a restoration in 81, and gave up when his trusted mechanic died, and it's been sitting in storage since 1982. This might be the last barnfind Cobra

I take it from the way Tom talks about this car, that he's buying it/bought it

Must be a strange thing to make better photos with the Corvettes you've rescued, than the best the wrecks you've found will ever become.

I don't think either the 54 or the 76 will ever be worth the trouble they went through to get them out of this property, but the photos are excellent!
