Who Left This Dog Out?...

3 days ago

This old Faunus was brought here probably a year ago. It was inherited by some old lady living in the neighborhood and it was delivered to her in one summer day.

Not much excitement was on her face when this thing arrived as it doesn't hold much value on the market but free stuff is free stuff so she couldn't say no.

It is not drivable. That's for sure, but at least it's become a photographing subject for many. I have ignored it thus far but now that I have a new smartphone with a better camera I thought I should take a few shots of it.

It's not a Shelby, but interesting nevertheless. I always wonder when seeing cars in such shape why do their owners leave them get in such a decaying state... You either drive it or sale it. That's simple.

Anyway, that's it from my side for now. I wish you all have a great weekend and catch with you all next time.

Thanks for your attention,
Adrian

Yep. A friend of mine's father had one when we were kids.

If it was driven there I'd get it started easily!

Always drove classics or beaters, a couple of dozen cars over the years, I always chose late sixties to early seventies whenever I could :-)

Drove across all of Europe in old Mercedes 508Ds too, will probably write about that here soon

It wasn't driven. It was transported there.

Ah, I see! But still it is far easier to repair old cars like that :-)

Quite often its just dirt on the battery terminals, in the distributor or so on... I have taken over a lot of old cars like that, where they were running MUCH better after me spending a modest amount and a couple of days working on them while driving even
