[Video] Abondoned classics in woods

[JC220]

Watched this video with both wonderment and sadness at the multiple cars sitting rotting away in woods. Some of the Porsche 911s look savable still I would be going for them first!

The E type also looked cool but rotten although people here fix them even if only the emblem is left lying in a field

It makes you wonder 2 things:

HOW did they get there in the middle of nowhere among the woods?

Who owns them? Is it one guy who had alot of wealth and hoards these cars to rot away? Or did he own a towing company or something and dragged questionable cars home?

I imagine this is just what @gsxr Yard looks like except it's all V8 w124s

There are a handful of people across the country who simply keep track of rare, classic junkers that become available for cheap, and then pay to have them transported to their farms as potential future payoffs from prospective people who can’t find their nostalgic dream car anywhere else. The problem with that plan, though, is that it can often take decades to finally offload some of those cars, and they end up just withering away into piles of rust before the owner can live long enough to sell them.

I've seen the gsxr graveyard a couple of times. It's a smattering of semi-dead 034s, 140s, and 124 diesels. The 036s have pride of place INSIDE the barn.
