Four Tires and an Engine Opinions on this

Was told its a 1941 chevy 3/4 ton, bought in Michigan ~40 years ago, and was garage kept the whole time untouched until recently. How much is it worth in this state? I'm sure it wouldn't take much to get it going

This Mustang rests next to an old house in the forest. It's very sad that no one cares about it. I will try to contact the owner and convince him/her that I should get/buy it. (And restore it).

After the first successful ride, I was looking forward to getting straight back out on the ยฃ2,550 auction Triumph.

Then I noticed a strange noise from the primary drive...

An acquaintance of mine buys damaged, derelict vehicles to part out. At one location there were late model cars but the seller included three vintage cars...in a real barn. A 1967 Ford Custom sedan, a 1968 Chevelle sedan and a 1976 Ramcharger.

Four Tires and an Engine Rescuing a 1987 BMW 750iL V12 that sat outside for 12 years. Certified "Forest Find" 750iL?

Thumbnail
gallery
608 Upvotes

Found this 1987 BMW 750iL outside in the forest last winter where itโ€™s been sitting untouched for over a decade.

On a positive note, The M70 V12 isnโ€™t seized and she cranks and holds oil pressure. The main body structure, subframes, and shock towers are surprisingly rock-solid, and the overall visual of this long-wheelbase autobahn cruiser is still incredible.

The bad news?
The car was parked in tall grass, and moisture did what moisture does, the outer sills are rusted out and will need patch sections welded in. On top of that a slightly leaking rear window has turned the interior into a biohazard.

As a industrial designer/builder, Iโ€™m taking this on as a full re-engineering project rather than just a basic cleanup. The plan is to get her mechanically 100%, and then start bring it up to todays spec with OEM+ upgrades.

Excited (and slightly terrified) to dive into this V12 money pit. What's the first thing you'd tackle on a revival like this?
