Default '61 Tempest with a tree growing through it.
This was posted on the HAMB board:



It's in a boneyard somewhere in Iowa, I think it's been there for quite a while.

The person posting the photo has a bunch of cars available, it looks like it may still have some parts worth saving. Here's the thread: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...d.php?t=634860

What a shame these cars wasting away with so many good parts.
Here are a few more "some day" cars?

Probably was done to pull parts off it at some point in the past - I've seen it done often in salvage yards.
