I knew someone who had a group of about 8 or 9 A bodies sitting in his yard for 20+ years. 3 yellow Dusters, a white Duster with custom stripes, and a few brown, blue, or green Darts and Dusters.
This guy was a real cast iron A$$HOLE in every sense of the word, he'd never sell parts or anything, the cars just sat there rusting for 20+ years. The last time I spoke with him was in the very early 2000s.
Last summer (May 2024), I got to wondering if those old cars were still there. A little super slick stealth work with my DJI drone confirmed that yes, they were still there and untouched.
Then just recently, I was searching some real estate sites for something unrelated, and it popped up in the search results that the house on this piece of property was sold this past July. A little checking online and another drone flyover confirmed that the house was sold and all 8 or so of the cars were now gone. The following weekend I drove by the house and spoke to the new owners, they said the previous owner took all the old cars away, but they didn't know anything else.
The owner in question had moved to Washington state, so surely he didn't drag these cars with him. I made up a list of about 7 local junkyards and called them all, and they all said they didn't get those cars in.
So for all I know, the cars were listed for sale, maybe even here, and I just never saw it. Anyone know anything about them? The previous location of the cars was roughly 30 miles NE of downtown Pittsburgh.
