Default The ultimate cars in barns find - 1000+ strong cache found in forest

Holy fucken shit Batman! Other Jalopnigs woulda already seen this, a Rhode Island forest filled with cars! CARS CARS CARS. It's like Cars in Barns, except they're fucken everywhere in a forest, like some crazy wonderland. I would go nuts with joy if I found such a place. Some of them don't even look too far gone. Some cars look even almost/pretty salvageable, and you bet there would be some nice engines under those bonnets.

Everything from classic MG to Big block Mopar.. ..and lots of Mustangs.

Sad thing is that Rhode Island authorities want them all junked :(.

American car fans, get yourselves to RI with a fat stack of cash and a car trailer or two. Hell, hire a fucken semi trailer flatbed B double. If this shit's got to go, it's going to go cheap!

Eh, they're all in pretty shitty shape.

Anyone remember that dude who found a barn on his property packed wall-to-wall with perfect condition 30s and 40s cars?

How about this then? It's absolutely fucked.

Only real difference between this and a '68 Dart is the engine and tranny options. This comes with a Slant six. I want it though.

Bad case of rust there, which is a pity because otherwise it isn't that bad. Looks like something I'd cram a big block into, give it a coat of primer, and drive.

Without some serious reinforcement that Pacer coupe isn't in a very fit condition to take a big block :(.

What use is a rat rod when more than 200 ft-lbs tears it in half? :D
