This 550 has been abandoned in Beverly Hills for 2 years or more. If you want to see it you can message me and I will tell you where to find it.

Such a shame I saw a lotus Charlton today that was out the back of a derelict house there was also an even older curvy car out the back but it was in such a state I couldn't tell what it was (pictures soon) I also know where 3 db7s have been left an e40m3 and a Datsun 240z I also knew where an rx7 was but I bought it to save it (look on the "what do you drive" topic for pictures).
Oh and I forgot there's also an early 911 and an esprit behind a warehouse near my old work too both empty shells though.

There is a blue 1974 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that a guy has. It's rotting next to a Mercedes-Benz 330SL which is green. Also, there is an abandoned GMC Pickup truck and across from it is an abandoned 1996 Chevrolet Suburban. Up the street from there is a 1962 Dodge Dart that is rotting as well.

I don't know if I told anybody this, but there used to be a guy who lived at a piece-of-junk house in Stamford, Connecticut. He was an antique car collector, and had LOADS of barn finds. Every time I went to my grandma's house, I would see the same thing: A yellow Volkswagen Beetle Convertible rotting in tall grass with floorboard sticking out the roof, and TWO classic Bugattis in a garage that the owner left open. I kept asking my mom if we could pull over to check it out, but she kept saying "No". One day, we drove by, and the house had a "For Sale" sign on it, all the cars were gone, and the house was torn down. I did further research and it belonged to a guy by the name of "Alvin Dilling". He apparently passed away, and all the cars went to family members. I have no pictures of this experience, but you could find it on Google Images. Look up "881 Long Ridge Road, Stamford, Connecticut" and you'll find pictures of the house. The garage doors are closed, sadly

You probably have to buy the barn, or buy the car from the owner of the barn.

What if there's no way of contacting the owner could I ask the police if I could claim it if they can't find the owner?

There's this really nice S class in a garage in Carmel. Also, I've heard about a Delorean rotting away in someone's driveway in Indy. Haven't seen it yet....

Lots of older porsches rotting away that I have seen, also a few older Mercedes. Best car I can remember seeing sitting in a driveway rotting was a Porsche 914
