Has anyone during explorations find cars and save them? (the legal way) I've tried a few times but it's hard to explain how you know about it and not let them know you were trespassing on there property. I would like to hear your stories, here is 2 of mine. Car was a DMc delorean , it was posted on here in the car find threads. It was in a garage at a dilapidated house that was for sale. After a very rough description of the location by the member on here that found it I was able to find the realtor and contact him. Upon getting the owners contact info I was very disappointed he sold it a few days before for $5000. Another time I found a late 60s charger rt 440 6 pack car with a pistol grip 4spd. Complete but moldy inside a caved in garage alongside a back road. After talking to the neighbors i found out he sold the house and he needed to get his stuff out. I called him and he had a few nasty words for me and I got a call a few minutes later from a local police man. He told me the guy was a little nuts and to just stay away from his property. As I drove by the garage about two weeks later I saw a big metal dumpster outside of the garage and a young guy cleaning out the garage. He informed me the guy came, took the charger but he left everything else including a Chevrolet chevelle convertable. I came to find out he was an x drag racer and the garages were full of parts and tools. That found there way into a metal dumpster. He told me if I was there a few days earlier I could have taken everything as the new owner wanted it gone. I almost cried seeing a stack of old magnesium race wheels cut in half to remove the old slicks. Fortunately they were only about half way done cleaning out the 4 bay garage and was able to snag quite a few gems including old bomber seats. The chevelle however as well as several vintage motorbikes were recycled into daewoo's.
