It’s always exciting when you spot a classic along the side of the road, especially when it’s something you’d love to own! Well reader John M recently sent in a few roadside sightings, one of which he has been trying to buy for years. While I’d take any of these finds, that Challenger looks quite tempting. Sadly, that’s the one that John has been trying to buy without any success. Hopefully, one day the owner decides to let it go and that it isn’t too far gone by that point. Be sure to take the rest of his sightings below!
I want to thank John for sharing his sightings with us and wot wish him luck with getting that Challenger! If you have some interesting roadside sightings, we would love to see them, so attach your photos to an email and send them over to us!
What a waste…except for the Mustang…Cougar might already be to far gone…sad
.
That Challenger reminds me of the detective series Mannix with Mike Connors . John M, get that owner to listen to reason before it’s too late….
i’m thinkin he drove a drop-top dart.
Mannix drove a variety of Mopars – Dart convertible (I think it was a 383, ‘Cuda, and some others. The last year or two of the series he switched to GM products, ugh. By then the V8’s were down to 175 hp.
Everything has a number, and John hasn’t offered the right number yet.
That Mustang looks like it went for a swim. Early Cougars are my favourite, and trucks are always awesome. I’m also a big fan of Mopar, so these photos are a nice collection.
Sometimes there’s just no reasoning with people. A few years back I watched a 1969 GTO Judge go right into the ground because the lady that owned it wouldn’t even accept an offer. Go figure.
It makes me crazy when I see a valuable car or truck left in the elements next to a garage full of worthless piles of junk and debris .
Especially when its sitting on dirt, rusting to bits from beneath, the owner thinks it’s worth a fortune and refuses to sell because ‘some day I’m gonna fix it up’. By which time it will only be rust for scrap.
I’m almost shour he is going to fixum up some day ,🍺
John M – leave the Maine cars to return to their constituent elements – go west my son
That Moostang in ME…ran when sunk…
I watched a 58 Impala convert, just rot away under a tree… the owner put a big plywood sign NOT FOR SALE on it.. it was nothing but rust when it ” disappeared”
Where is Tony and Catfish along with duke as them guys always looking for a deal.. Uncle Henrys paper!
Is that show still on? I have not seen it listed in the TV guide for quite some time. I did enjoy it when it was on though. There was some wheelin’ and dealin’ going on with those boys.
Who needs Craigslist, when you have Uncle Henry’s in Down East Dickering what Tony Bennett says.. He doesn’t like punching a time clock, does his thing and makes a living at it.
Good old Uncle Henry’s Swap it or Sell it Guide. A staple of Maine
Well them guys are still wheelin and dealing, but I’m thinking that channel didn’t renew the show.. I did here that its coming back on A&E
There’s a 1955 Ford pick up sitting in a yard about 2 miles from me. The owner must have gotten plenty of offers as he painted NOT FOR SALE right on the door in large block letters for all to see.
Dang! That was fun! Thanks, Chuck..
There is a possibility that the Cougar is an early 67 as it has the colored keyed wheels. Those were only an option for a short period of time during the first part of production. Josh, is there any way you can get the VIN?
Get the guys from Graveyard Cars onto this one!
And I thought Mississippi had the worst car hoarders, sheesh. When we moved into our house I caught sight of a 69 Camaro parked at the far back of my neighbor’s yard.
After getting to know them I inquired about the car. Turns out it was his brother in laws car. I asked if he was willing to part with it and was turned down saying he’d get to it one day.
It’s a shame to see interesting old cars that probably had a story to go with it rot away to nothing.

Thank you for your creativity.
