The old, rusted bones of an emptied-out hunk of metal can mean a number of things: it can introduce the sobering passage of time to a young person as they traipse through a field, bring memories back to an old-timer who bought his first new car for a measly three grand, or it can decorate a paintball field.
We’ve collected a long list of some incredible finds, from rusted out monsters to the bits and pieces of true performance sports cars. Some are true beauties to water the mouth, and some may have been left to rot for a reason.
From Race Track to Barnyard
The 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona is one of the most famous racing cars ever – and one of the rarest. Dodge made a mere 503, and the below example spent plenty of time in an Alabama barn, filled with dirt, moss, and the most amazing centipedes this side of the Mississippi. It sports some sweet flames at the front to make it go even faster.
The 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona sells up to six figures (It was the very first car to break 200 MPH in a NASCAR race), and this finely-aged example sold for about $90k.
