Because of this, the user known as DontbeWily (@DontbeWily) considered it a sad place at first sight.

Some of the vehicles in the old chicken coop had been parked for decades.

Most were covered in rust, broken and damaged.

There may have been a handful of cars that could still be salvaged, but many of them probably weren’t worth the investment.

That said, for the right person, the abandoned chicken coop houses a wide variety of vehicles.

Some of the cars are sports cars and the yard also has pickup trucks, motorcycles and tractors.

There may not be many gems to find, but the junkyard is a gold mine with several cars worth checking out.

One of the barn’s main highlights is a 1959 Chevrolet Corvette.

He was last on the road in 1984.

As of this year, the old car has been parked for 40 years.

Much-loved engine left abandoned for five years restored to its former glory

It’s unclear whether it was parked at the old farm among other retired vehicles the entire time, Automatic Evolution reported.

It’s a good possibility that the junkyard owner bought it after the car was removed from the public road.

Even so, the Corvette is not in the best condition and will need a complete restoration to return to its shine.

The barn even has a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air on site.

How to report an abandoned car

Reporting an abandoned vehicle is important to keep city streets safe and clean

An abandoned car is not only an eyesore, but also a danger to the surrounding community, as pests and rodents can take refuge inside, in the engine compartment or in the trunk.

Leaking fluids can be dangerous to the environment, as many vehicle fluids are toxic and can wreak havoc on ecosystems if they enter waterways.

They can also encourage crime, with several cities like Oakland, California, reporting that drug dealers can use them to hide and steal drugs or weapons.

Abandoned vehicles can also decrease property values.

So they are worth it. The specific contact information for your city’s abandoned car hotline may vary, but the required vehicle information is the same.

When reporting an abandoned vehicle, the police will need:

  • The exact address of the vehicle
  • Steering column information (broken, missing, intact, etc.)
  • Vehicle condition (severely damaged, broken windows, leaking fluids, missing body panels or doors, etc.)
  • Brand and model
  • Color
  • Body style (pickup, SUV, sedan, etc.)
  • License plate number and state, if applicable
  • VIN

Many cities will allow residents to report abandoned vehicles online via an online form or through an online form.

The vintage Chevy is a two-door car.

Another classic from the Chevrolet family that is in the old chicken coop is a Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu.

The adventurer who explored the yard explained that the barn has many old Ford and Chevrolet cars from the 1970s and 1980s.

Most would probably be considered disposable vehicles, but some could actually be purchased for parts.

There are even some old tractors on the land.

One of them is a Massey Ferguson tractor that could be worth a lot of money.
