Rotting Exotics
By Rob
Editor-in-Chief
I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with the US site Carsinbarns.com. Well, some guys in the UK started this thread on rotting exotics, with tons of pics from all over in Europe (and elsewhere). The most shocking to me were the Daytona below and the Muira on the first page. Warning: one avatar in the forum thread is not safe for work.

I HATE TO SEE COOL CARS WASTED, BUT RICH PEOPLE THAT JUST COLLECT CARS AND NEVER DRIVE THEM ARE JUST AS BAD. AS FOR THE US SOLDIERS THEY NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THEY REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!,NO WONDER THE WORLD HATES US. VOTE: RON PAUL 2008

more reasons to let them sit there than fix. Maybe it gets an enthusiast, maybe not. See it all the time, the website is a great idea. My area parked most of them after 1 winter. Who is so royal to have just summer cars and thier plans? nobody I know. There is the barn…

The carsinbarns.com site is very depressing to say the least. There is no reason that those muscle cars should be rotting away like that. The 1970 Buick GSX story enrages me.

“This Testarossa is unlikely to have survived, as those not looted by the locals, were trashed bty (sic) the American troops.”
If so, too bad they can’t face a general court-martial and a dishonorable discharge.
Enough to make me violently ill (or is that violent and ill?).

This is a depressing and angering site. The site should be renamed “findandsaveexotics.com” and all location and owner contact info possible should be listed.
-
Everyone would benefit. I bet some owners (if they’re still around) have no idea of the value many of these relics have.
-
They’re a far cry from a toasted taurus or a wasted windstar.
