these cars are not wasting away (the ones in the barn ) if you go and look at his site you will see he is going to alot of trouble to collect and get these cars indoors. |
Well obviously. I'm reffering to people who have all these cars, and are just watching them rust. So like the people this guy got some of his cars from.

I'm really happy for who ever found this treasure. I'm also very sad to see so many sought after VWs just going to waste. I have to admit my heart would more than skip a beat if I stumbled across this find. I'd have to move there because there is no way in hell I'd be able to bring that entire barn home.
These pictures remind me of an old funny car site I ran into. Some old fuck had maybe 20 vintage funny car bodies and a few complete cars. All of them stacked up in a barn in some wooden racks just rotting away. When discovered many major names in drag racing asked him to part with the cars so they could restore them and show them in drag racing museums across the country. The old fuck said NO!!!!!!
I just don't understand the idea of holding onto something worth so much just to watch it crumble away before it needs too. |
I know what you mean. I found 4 swallow tail Rabbits in one town. All just rusting away. I cried that day, now my dad thinks i'm an idiot.

http://www.vwsplit.se
(Sorry, only Swedish text.)
Here's a short version of the story:
Ragtop -50 found in the mountains, north of Sweden. The car was drivven at the 50/60ies on iceroads to a small farm/house. The gearbox breakdown and the car was lost at the other side of the big lake. No roads.
See pictures how we did to rescue it. Guees if I was nervous when we drove it over the lake?!
Best Regards/ Björn Svanberg Sweden |
Nice collection Bjorn!
There are still treasors to find in Scandinavia!

I'd put some Red and Green Marine navigation lights on it with a 50HP Mercury, throw an ice chest on the back and "Bada Bing"
Redneck houseboat.

Are the pictures taken near the same place? Looks more like someones back garden large scale restoration workshop (then letting them sit there and rust.) I wonder it the parts are just collections, or are they all laid out to be sold at some point?
Id love to go somewhere like that on holiday and be able to bring all the bits home that i needed to complete my car!! |
