1968 Cutlass in the weeds

We were out in the more rural areas of the county yesterday visiting some garage sales and came across this thing moldering in the front yard of a house a couple doors down from one of them. No idea of its condition close-up, whether it's for sale (no sign that I could see), or anything. Just an interesting piece of history slowly returning to the dust whence it came. Two-door hardtop body style. Looks pretty straight, from what we can see. Missing some trim here and there. Looks like it could make a good project or at least be a good source of parts.

The photos are from the street as I didn't want to trespass. Despite what the license plate on the front says, the car is not in Colorado.

Yes sir, that could be a thing of beauty if someone was inclined. However, judging by it's stable mate with the roll cages it will soon be a demo derby car. Too bad, it does look to be in decent shape. If it spent most of its life in CO it could be a very solid car. Aren't you in the market for another project Dan?

Looks like a stock car next to it.

The "CPR" on the front plate may be very fitting...

In one sense, always, but in another sense, the ones I have are taking all my time and money! But, on the other hand, how often do you find something this close to home?

Good catch! I did not notice that.

I thought your post meant the car was lowered like a low rider.
