Need a Donor or Project? Stash of Rusty Gold

Disclosure: This site may receive compensation from some link clicks and purchases.

If you’re in the vicinity of Santa Rosa, California, you may want to get hold of this seller. He (Dan) has at least 17 cars and trucks sitting out in a field and rusting away. We’re told he’s “testing the market,” so we have no idea what he may be looking to get out of this stash of rusty gold. They may all be parts cars at best. Check out the “collection” here on craigslist.

There are zero details about any of these vehicles, and Dan just asks, “Any interest?” Most of these vehicles seem to be from the 1960s and 1970s and could have been sitting on this Santa Rosa property for years or even decades. We’re told to call or text him, but no number is provided, so you’ll have to go through craigslist’s email system, which is not known for its reliability.

As best as I can tell, the seller’s inventory comprises the following:

1st Gen Chevrolet Corvair (1960-64), 1970 Mercedes SEL

VW Transporter, 1957 Chevrolet

1966 Ford Mustang, 1970s Porsche

4th Gen Ford Thunderbird (1964-66)

1961 Chevrolet, 1960s Jaguar

2 Rolls-Royce/Bentley, 3 U-Haul trucks (2 Fords, 1 Chevy)

1 Ford tow truck, 2 1970s Chevy pickups

Maybe something in this group is restorable, but searching for parts is more likely. We’re guessing you’ll have to take a whole car or nothing at all. Maybe he’ll sell you the entire lot. Perhaps even the property they’re sitting on. What’s your take?

    The Tbird is a ’66; no chrome mustache on the bumper. Not sure why, but I’d almost go for one of the U-Haul trucks for a cheapo camper conversion…

    Something in my eye, you know it happens everytime,,I suppose we should get used to this. Someones dear collection, INCLUDING THE FREAKIN’ TOW TRUCK that brought them there. An eclectic collection, from VW to Rolls, and a Jag,,,imagine how happy this person was to get that, for $100, I bet. Fire up the old Ford, pa,,,,must have been easy pickings years ago,,sorry, too much schmaltz? What do you have on this? All scrap? :(

    Why is there no mention of the 911 Targa? Am I missing an AI joke or something?

    Might better lift them up and look at floors for the rusty bottoms. Looks like there sitting in a swamp.
