Show me your dead cars.

I know some of you guys have dead cars in your yard. Here is an opportunity to show them off. Maybe they'll run again, maybe not, doesn't matter, I want to see them.
I'll start.
1988 Range Rover classic. I drove it here when we bought this house 14 and a half years ago. Hasn't moved since.
That's the frame hanging out the bottom, and it looks much better in pictures than in person.

This thread should be interesting.

Can we include dead bikes wedged in a garage, too?

Show me your broken dream. The more pictures, the more story, the better.

I like this game. Let me go take some pictures.

I got this one:

And this one:

And this last one:

I only have one that is dead and not a current project.

Poor dejected car. It's available if anyone wants a Challenge cheap project.

Mine have been coming back to life of late. In fact, the entire fleet is currently in "self propelled" status! Now, I can't trust the Mini to go more than 2 miles without needing a repair of some sort and you have to make sure the Caddy is topped up with coolant before you leave, but still - this is a rare event.

Trade you a trooper for the rx7?

And my dead car is in the garage, where I pushed it in January. Just waiting it's turn.

In reply to Ranger50:

So... what's wrong with the truck? (The big 'un.)

I knew this would be a dangerous thread!

How much, and any rot?

Deucekid #1 claimed that the picture I took of the Range Rover wasn't representative. She says these are better.
In a weird twist of fate, I may have an interesting story involving poor life decisions and neck tattoos and the Range Rover. Life is funny.

I gotta hear that story.

Hmmm, yep, I'll be contributing here soon, need to go take some pics. I've had a few stalled and failed projects over the years, but I still have one under a cover that I'll continue to keep for a "one day" build. Its a 92 Honda prelude.

Victim# 1- the first mx6 SF1 talked me into. Runs and drives- has some sort of electrical drain. Killed the battery and I parked it. Will run with a jump.

Victim# 2- Runs- again needs a battery (I have 5 cars on this property, I have TWO good batteries, and they all take 35r's. Figure that one out. The corollas have all the batteries right now. I need a new one for the ms3) Has a nasty low end rattle of some sort. I suspect spun bearing. There was glitter in the pan. Still has power. Currently on corded/flat tires so I can't really lot drive it. Apparently I'm resurrecting this one again- or it may be for sale. Depends on the day and what SWMBO says.

Not pictured is Victim#3- a 1977 volare coupe. I have no idea if it's even salvagable at this point. Been in a barn since 1991. I've not seen it in at least 15 years.

Mine isn't dead, it just needs extensive work if I want it to be roadworthy.

66 Bonneville, currently finishing up the body work. Then its getting a duramax or powerstroke.

95 Caprice Wagon. Bought it for parts, now its for sale. Who wants it?

Lack of time and money. Just now got it running again with a new positive battery cable from Ford, $140!!!, and a 02 psd starter. But running means it's on 7. I haven't had time to find the miss given it seems all my days off from work either rain or is taken up with other BS I am somehow obligated to be present. Right now, I have $3000 written in shoe polish on the windshield.....

I wish I had enough property to collect things like these! Then again it bugs me to have stuff that doesn't run.

Someday I'll get around to it....

Here is some of them!

There are a few more...no pics ready though.

How about the price to post a dead vehicle is you have to tell us a wild story involving said vehicle? Just a thought...

In reply to egnorant:

Uhhhh, that's near hoarder status. I'm jealous.

There is a disturbing amount of MX6 GT in this thread already. I don't think i want to post.
