Poor Austin..

[70DartMike]

A guy who scours the power line trails for scrap metal sometimes brings in cars he finds, and he came across this Austin. It broke in half when I unloaded it with the hoe.

It looked alright when I first unloaded it..

But then I lifted it with the big forklift to move it out of the mud.. that's when it fell apart bad.

Anyone know what year it is?

Anyone need any Austin parts? It's still even got the keys. Funny thing, somehow the trunk lid survived all these years, I put it aside because its rust free!
Interesting gas tank location.. right behind the rear seat back.

That will buff out....

And no rear shocks? Some kind of rebuildable shock system?

was it rusty lol

The guy said it was upside down, behind a stump. It didn't look all that 'bad' when he brought it in, but apparently it was.
