Like something out of “Believe it or not”, these stories of forgotten classic cars are something that will make you shake your head in disbelief. Recently I did a piece on the Peter Max Corvette collection of 34 Corvettes that were all but forgotten by the media and long neglected by the owner. Many people commented on this on our social media outlets to voice their shock, disbelief and wonder at how anybody could “forget” their classic cars. After looking into this topic, I found more than one interesting story about classic cars found in locked buildings, garages, fields and closed dealerships. Ive gathered a few of my favorite ones and thought I’d share the stories and images with you. Enjoy this bizarre collection of tales and make sure you read the last one about the buried Dino…its amazing.
