OT: American muscle rusting in Japan
« on: January 21, 2015, 03:08:23 AM »
 A little OT, but here are some classic American iron just rusting away in Japan. There are two Camaro's shamefully rotting in with the bunch.

Such a shame!

Even after 5 years If those cars were state side, I bet they would fetch 5k a piece on eBay just the way they are, maybe more.

To be that rusty, tjey are likely to be near the sea, and wasn't the Tsunami within the past 5 yrs?  So they are probably *gone* to rust/dust by now...

the guy with the camera is really something, as he recognized the '70 Camaro (Z28?) as 'numbers matching (without checking any numbers.. )  :)
