A guy up the block from where my friend grew up has these 6 Mopars that have been sitting in the street and rotting for a long time. I know my friend since '91, and they've been around much longer. We were at his dad's house working on his brother's car, so I decided to take out my camera and snap a few shots of this poor Charger.
3 of the rotting cars are covered, but there are also another 2 across the street. One is a Belvedere.
Behind the yellow Charger is an early 70's Charger. It had "Lone Wolf" painted on the side, and you can see the mega-extended exhaust pipes that extend higher than the roof of the car. If I remember, he also had another Charger similar to the yellow one, but burgundy in color.
The only times these cars are driven are simply to move them around. Sadly the rotting cars are truly an eyesore.
And to tell you more about the owner - he's a landscaper, but his yard is a disaster - he has an old, huge satellite dish on the roof, and the Christmas lights have been up for years.

That's a shame. Those cars need someone to give them the TLC that they deserve.

If they've been there for a while, is it possible to see them on Google Street View?

Car hoarders are the absolute worse. They'd rather see the cars turn in to a pile of dust then sell them to somebody who would save them.

I knew a guy like this but he decided to let 55-57 Chevy's rot in a field. They were never for sale no matter how many times you asked. I never understood car hoarders and we have one where I work.

At least they're not parked on grass.

I think so - let me find the link
Looks like the white car is a Coronet, and the Maroon car might be a Satellite. If you can view the past images, you'll likely see the cars uncovered.

These Hoarders will sell.
But they usually want rotisserie restoration money for rusty hulks.

That's how most of them justify not selling to themselves. Nobody will pay what they want so they never have to sell.

It helps them feel relevant.

My ex-wife's grandfather was one of these guys... Had a field full of cars on his farm out in Oregon. '55 Chevy's, WWII Army Ambulances, tons of collectable stuff - all rotting - all "not for sale EVER". What a waste...
