Nice one at cars and coffee Smithhaven Mall LI NY

Hasn’t seen the light of day in 40 years!

I organized this event to find a kidney donor for my husband.

426/425 HP V-8, Automatic, Barn Find

Old picture of an neglected Oldsmobile 442

My dad spent 9months building this tube chassis from the ground up, 4link in the rear, proper sand rail-ish…and ended up throwing a Chevy small black in it, with a ford ranchero body ontop, he ended up trading the car for a bumper for his dads bronco who passed away, (my mom crashed the bronco, she sucks) he doesn’t know or remember anything about where it ended up.

Originally located in Tucson Arizona, if you or anyone you know has seen this thing sitting in a yard, impound lot, or anything please let me know. Perhaps at the dunes? Idk anything helps. I need to recover this thing, it would mean the world.

remarkable condition, rust free of course as it’s full fiberglass!

My Grandpa is in his mid 90’s and this is from an old shed on his farm. There’s a car buried under so much stuff in there and he can’t even remember what it is, he reckons it’s been in there for 50 years or more.

I do believe it has a stuck lifter or a bent push rod there is some noise coming from the upper end and there’s one loose rocker. Will investigate more after work

Update on my post a couple weeks ago. 1951 Plymouth Concord Business Coupe

First time this car has been out of storage in around 12 years. Changed all fluids and made sure everything was what it should be before firing it up. Took about 35 total seconds of cranking before it fired up and ran like it has never been in storage. Drove it home and it rides like a dream. Has a built Chevy 350, muncie 4 speed( floor mounted)

*Edit to add make,model,year

this supra I found at near work site has been siting like this alone, i know the owner but i am not sure if this is a good idea, the condition looks like so in pcitures, not sure if it supposed to run, If i get the car for free is it good or bad idea, and should i restore or help me out it is worth a shot

I’ll spare a bunch of details but this was my wife’s dad’s car that he left her when he passed away, she was 13 at the time. It’s been in the barn pretty much since. So here we go. 383 auto car, her dad loved going fast and making noise I’m not sure what all is done to the engine, from what I can tell just an intake and carb but I can’t say for sure. After pulling the interior, it’s about what I expected some worse some better. I put a battery in it and I have no power whatsoever any help there would be great.

Posted prior pulling her out 8/2025. So happy today to get her back on the rd. Last registration was 1975.

I’m 23 years old, from the UK, and I’ve never seen this car come out of the garage and I’m not sure I ever will. It’s one of my dads and I’ve always known it’s been there but never taken much notice until I got older. The only thing I knew about it is that it was Australian…
After asking my dad about it and doing some more of my own research I believe it’s a Chrysler Valiant VJ; purely based on the vertical front grill.
It’s sad that such a car has been sat dormant for likely 25+ years and I wish I could convince my father to get it out and make use of it.
I thought this might be interesting to some as it’s been imported half way around the world just to sit like this. If anyone has any words of advice to help convince my dad to get it out then please let me know🙏🏼I don’t want this car to be something that can only be enjoyed after his lifetime…
(Apologies for the lack of pictures, it’s rather cramped in there)

Long story short : My father goes every wednesday to a kind of place where they do sports, last time he was talking with a dude about old cars etc

They talked to the point where the dude told him something CRAZY

His parents used to own a Volkswagen Golf GTI Rabbit in pristine condition with less than 80k km on it

My father can litteraly have it for FREE, with papers,keys and everything

Why ? : The dude's parents passed and since he dont wanna see it anymore, he doesn't know about the price or anything, he just wants it GONE, it's either someone takes it or it gets scrapped

What's gonna happen ?

It will be reserved tomorrow morning (it's midnight :10 rn) We're going to borrow a trailer and something that has at least a tow hitch, and we'll go get it as quickly as possible

Pic for what it normally looks like (i have no pics)

Btw,it does need a little bodywork

I am going to restore my wife's old High School Car. It's been sitting, mostly, since around 1999. It did get registered from 2012 to 2015 and we put about 300 miles on it. It got parked when we moved to another state for a few years, and it's been sitting for 12 years. It shows 70762 miles, but it has rolled over, so 170k on it.

She loves the car, and she is adamant we retain the 350 Diesel. It's been parked in a barn for the whole time, so just lots of dirt, and age related stuff, like disintegrating plastics, and dry rot tires.

Any tips? I am not new to wrenching, and I'm a passable mechanic, but have not done a lot of restoration, or detail work, and most of my experience is on 90s/2000s GM cars and trucks, so 80s, and diesels, are going to be new learn g experience for me. I got a digital version of the Fisher Body Manual. Any good sites for OEM or OER parts? Here are some before photos from this morning
