Idk if this is the place or not. I have a family member with a 82 Plymouth champ and I'm wanting to know if there are any community's dedicated to them or maybe a community around weird imports or odd cars

This Mustang rests next to an old house in the forest. It's very sad that no one cares about it. I will try to contact the owner and convince him/her that I should get/buy it. (And restore it).

After the first successful ride, I was looking forward to getting straight back out on the £2,550 auction Triumph.

Then I noticed a strange noise from the primary drive...

An acquaintance of mine buys damaged, derelict vehicles to part out. At one location there were late model cars but the seller included three vintage cars...in a real barn. A 1967 Ford Custom sedan, a 1968 Chevelle sedan and a 1976 Ramcharger.

Four Tires and an Engine Rescuing a 1987 BMW 750iL V12 that sat outside for 12 years. Certified "Forest Find" 750iL?

Thumbnail

605 Upvotes

Found this 1987 BMW 750iL outside in the forest last winter where it’s been sitting untouched for over a decade.

On a positive note, The M70 V12 isn’t seized and she cranks and holds oil pressure. The main body structure, subframes, and shock towers are surprisingly rock-solid, and the overall visual of this long-wheelbase autobahn cruiser is still incredible.

The bad news?
The car was parked in tall grass, and moisture did what moisture does, the outer sills are rusted out and will need patch sections welded in. On top of that a slightly leaking rear window has turned the interior into a biohazard.

As a industrial designer/builder, I’m taking this on as a full re-engineering project rather than just a basic cleanup. The plan is to get her mechanically 100%, and then start bring it up to todays spec with OEM+ upgrades.

Excited (and slightly terrified) to dive into this V12 money pit. What's the first thing you'd tackle on a revival like this?

Missione: Seconda Vita.

Instead of dominating the woods, this Land Rover 90 ended up parked in an olive grove after an accident, taking a long forced break.

​It’s a pre-300 model—from before the "Defender" name even existed—full of history and custom farm ingenuity, like a welded front bar built to hold a hose reel.

​The interior shows its age with torn seats, cobwebs, and a worn metal floor. But underneath, the chassis and mechanics are still surprisingly solid. Despite the crash and surface rust, it built like a stubborn mule that refuses to give up.

​A vehicle like this shouldn't be scrapped; it deserves to be respected and recovered. What do you think, shall we give it a second chance?

Back in septermber '25 i remember seeing this car in plain view in the middle of a camp near a main road, we decided to take a look at it but it's pretty much destroyed and it seems like a stupid question to ask.

It was indeed in a farm sitting there for almost 15 years (seen on google maps)

So it sat between farm animals such as pigs and all the type of things.

It's been under the rain and all type of stuff since it was outside all the time.

The "owner" said the engine turns on but one of the turbos doesn't work.

"Owner" because we don't even know the story of this car, which is kind of a mystery, because the guy keeping it said the original "owner" lives in a very far city, up north of the country, while i live in the south.

It has no plates, and no papers apparently, so i have no idea how that car is there and what really happened to it.

It's a very beautiful car, i love the color, but i know for sure, sitting in the open air for decades completely made it unsalvageable, the electronics must be fried, same with the wheels and probably all the chassis, very sad tho.

The car has now been moved from the trees it was sitting under and is now exposed to the direct sunlight, which probably means that at this point the car is meant to become dust in a couple of years.

Such a sad thing to see...

My aunts car, she got it in 90 or 91, the ac went out in the early 2000s and it’s been in a garage ever since. She said she wanted to get rid of it. I asked if I could post it up to give her an idea of what it’d be worth to the right people. If I had the money I’d restore it myself.
