Stories when rare and expensive cars were found in landfills

American autobloggers on the YouTube video hosting released a new video where one could see rare supercars Ferrari 275 GTB and Shelby Cobra 427, abandoned more than 30 years ago.

It is reported that the total price of both machines after the restoration will reach $ 8,000,000. Enthusiasts from the United States continue to work on their project, designed to find the rarest cars in the United States of yesteryear.
Usually, cars sit idle in abandoned garages for years, covered in dust and cobwebs. You can also often see how the owners of cars throw them into a junkyards In Tennessee, without even thinking about how much they can be sold for in a few years.

The next discovery of the Americans were two very rare supercars of the 20th century. A Ferrari 275 GTB and an “American” Shelby Cobra 427 were discovered in North Carolina. According to experts, the cars have been in the garage for more than 30 years. After restoration work, they can be sold under the hammer for $ 8,000,000.
One such abandoned car dump was found in the state of Georgiyai. There, in the open air, there are several dozen units of unique automotive equipment.

For example, the German SUV Volkswagen Iltis, which was produced in 1978-88. At one time, he was the main off-road vehicle in the Bundeswehr. Then it was replaced by the Mercedes-Benz G-class. Interestingly, the Iltis is still in service with the armies of Canada and Belgium.

This junkyard has an American luxury Lincoln Town Car limousine. Why he was there is unknown. In appearance, based on the photos, there are no complaints about it.

Minimal claims in appearance to the famous Cadillac. However, this Cadillac still ended up in a landfill, and, therefore, he has big problems.

In the photos, we noticed the unique Fireliner Westland fire escape. We did not exaggerate by calling it unique. The fact is that at one time only six copies of this car were built.
There is also another rare automobile transport at the car dump. For example, an army all-wheel drive truck MAN KAT.

Photos taken at a car junkyard in the US state of Colorado have been published on the Web. Walking through the “cemetery”, the author of the pictures found a 1988 Honda Accord. At first glance, the car is unremarkable. The feature of the vehicle is the mileage. For 34 years of operation, the sedan has covered an incredible 826,428 kilometers. Considering that the distance from the Earth to the Moon is 325k kilometers, in more than three decades, Accord would get to the satellite and return back.

Why a fairly well-preserved Accord ended up in a landfill is not known. Perhaps the former owner of the sedan exchanged the car for another model at a dealership whose representatives were unable to sell the car to a new owner due to the high mileage.
