This weekend I went with my dad to my grandpa's place in the mountains to pick up a trench digger. My grandpa has A) too much land for his good and B) a hoarder mentality when it comes to cars, which equals way too many cars rotting away on his property. I took just a few photos but this probably isn't even half of what he has stored away.

If you guys want anything, make an offer! LOL

This '56 Ford has a 390CI like my dad's. We actually counted about four or five '56 Fords up there. There may be more.

I want to be able to hoard cars :( - Currently it's hard enough to find a place to park my only car. Sometimes it ends up a street or two away from my residence.

I'll take the 56! Seriously if that was my grandfather i'd be convincing him to let me take it off his hands to restore. Makes me sad to see those trucks rotting away, but I'm sure he had good intentions at one point for all of them.

I think I need to take one off his hands now. When I was younger I had no desire for to restore one, but now I feel the need.

Doesn't have to be a complete restoration, just get it running/driving and enjoy it for a few years before you take it all apart.
