About Amazing Barn Finds And Roadside Relics: Musty

Product Description Discover the allure of forgotten cars. Something that to the rest of the world is nothing but a forgotten automotive hulk slowly degenerating into a pile of iron oxide is to the car enthusiast something so much more. Like those who restore Victorian homes or antique furniture, car guys see not a decrepit piece of junk, but a desirable object that "just needs some attention." And should the vehicle abandoned in a field or lying in a creek bed be too far gone to resurrect, car enthusiasts can simply enjoy it for what it once was (while lamenting that it has come to such a sad end). Finding a lost, restorable car is every auto collector's dream! Amazing Barn Finds and Roadside Relics taps into the thrill of the hunt with hundreds of photos of lost cars - each accompanied by detailed information covering the nature of the find and details about the car. Ride along as author Ryan Brutt, the "automotive archaeologist," travels the United States documenting lost and abandoned automotive gems. Review "You have heard people say that "there are no more hidden cars...they've all been found!" Brutt uses his new book to prove them wrong. He also illustrates that some of the cars really don't deserve to be found or resurrected from the junk heap. However, he has found quite a few significant true muscle cars that are ripe for restoration." - Examiner.com "Finding a lost, restorable car is every auto collector's dream!
