    This Project Car Hell is Carpocaplytic.

    Whoever buys these will need a bailout by November.

    Looking at the extended list and images, makes me realize how many of those cars need "just enough" restoration to get out on a LeMons track, and at least get a few laps. A LeMons classic, perhaps? Of course, it might just end up being the shortest race of all time. The only concern I have is regarding the People's Curse award - as it would be wrong to further damage any of these any more, in fact, I think the correct thing to do would be having a priest spray them with holy water. Or maybe even have a holy water car wash.

    It is as if the Car Gods looked down upon the world, watched the Explorers, Blazers and other guzzlers be crushed and said.

    Wow... Actually, I would show up at that auction just to hang around the kind of amazing automotive nutcases that would see potential in this iron forest of ruins. I mean, this wont be some prestigious suit&tie auction here. The gathering will include many zany folks from all parts of the globe. Whichever cars do not sell... let them rot. Lets turn this location into a meet up destination for our own Automotive "Burning Man" Festival. Who else sees my vision?

    Murilee, if you buy the Sunbeam Rapier I'll help you build a LeMon out of it. You can even borrow the big-valve head I've been saving for future Alpine hot-rodding. A Flaminia would also be cool, of course, if only because the DeDion rear end has a pair of u-joints outboard of the hubs.

    A lot of those look like even touching them will cause them to disintegrate. Looking at them makes me think they would be prime craigslist candidates. "RAN WHEN PARKED" is one of the phrases that comes to mind.

    This is heart-warming news.
    Yet all across Europe and even farther, west across the Atlantic, the faint odor of sulfur wafts along the breeze.
    And the Devil says, "There, my little rusty children! You have been rescued. Go out into the world and create me some sinners, with those 7 deadly sins --because there will be wrath, there will be envy, there will be greed and lust and pride in wanting to own the coolest ride, and gluttony in eating and drinking to console the torn knuckles and empty wallets --and sloth, when the restorer's will breaks, and he lieth motionless and unwilling to rise."

    Tough call. Maybe the Gogomobil, or maybe the Ferrari 250. Lots of interesting choices, and a shit ton of craptacular dogs. And every one showroom fresh.

    I live in Geneva right now, so it's about an hour and half drive. Not far away by North American standards at all.
