How about a "vintage tin" thread?

Any interest in a place to post pix of interesting, or quasi- interesting cars that you see in your travels just wasting away?

('vintage tin' is an old Rod & Custom magazine column, they basically showed pix of carcasses of old cars that would make interesting hot rods.
I thought it might be cool to do the same thing for the stuff we are interested in)

Cycling home from work every day, I see these three meltdowns:

Saab Sonnet project. Don't have to worry about the tin worm, at least. (Owned by a guy with 2 99's in rat-rod condition - but they run!)


911S Targa; 914 1.7 (wearing a nice set of minilites) Honda (650?) and some sort of Citroën wasting away, these haven't moved in a long, long time. Shameful.


Fiero. Eyesore. Somebody must have loved, or at least liked this, once. (at least that's what I figure, the fact that they don't call someone to haul it off might mean that they're planning to "fix it up" again?)
