The First picture is from August of 2010, as you can see, the rear panel is actually gone! You could probably get a new one somewhere.
The second picture is from August 2011, the only thing that's changed is that a pile of tree clippings is now sitting next to the poor Nova.
Old cars that I find around PA, most of them are neglected and rusting away, but some are ones that are still driven that I happen to come across.

1969 Chevrolet Chevelle
Location: Reedsville,PA
Chevelles are my very favorite muscle car, and I hated to see this, a very nice 69 just sitting there rusting, has a 350 according to the emblems, I really wish I could take it home.

1968 Buick Riviera
Location: Boalsburg,Pa
Found this at a used car lot(there was also a '71 Wildcat). Last on the road in 1994(Wildcat was 2001). Looks to be in good shape, not much rust that I could see.

1967 Mustang Fastback
Found this in a small development on a bike ride one day. It was licensed so it was still driven(not in the snow). Had a 289 and an automatic, very nice blue color.
1968 Chevrolet Malibu
Location: State College,PA
Found this at a Mitsubishi dealer as a trade-in. Looked to be in great shape, there wasn't a price on it yet though.

1964 Plymouth Barracuda
Location: Carlisle,PA
Found this for sale in a gas station parking lot. The guy saved it from a junkyard and got all the mechanics working, the V8 runs, the brakes work, all it needs is a complete cosmetic re-do. For sale for $1500.

1966 Ford Thunderbird
Location: Mechanicsburg,PA
This was actually at the same place as the Venturas. It looks to be just the body(and radiator), might be getting restored by someone!

1965 Mustang, then and now.
Location: Mechanicsburg,PA
I first discovered this poor mustang in March 2011, that's when I took the first picture. It didn't look to bad then, it was on the back of a flatbed with "4 SALE" painted on the windshield of the flatbed, last on the road in 1985.
I came back to visit the car in August 2011, thats when I took the second picture. The car was a LOT worse than it looked, the back and side windows were broken, interior was all torn apart and laying across the floors, which are rusted through. Even the engine and transmission are gone! Probably just a parts car by now.

1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass
Location: Watkins Glen, NY
Very nice car, unfortunately looks like it's beginning to deteriorate. There is some rust starting around the back window and wheel wells. Right across from the cabin I was staying in.

1965 Mustang Convertible
Location: State College,PA
Saw this one in someone's driveway. Somebody must have been visiting that day because I haven't seen the car since.

1966 Plymouth Barracuda #2
Location: Mechanicsburg,PA
This was at the same house as the first one, much worst this one. Lots of rust, but at least its not sitting on grass so the floors must be OK.

1966 Plymouth Barracuda
Location: Mechanicsburg, PA
Found this, and some other cars, at a guys house. This Barracuda is in very good shape, despite the tag on the plates saying 2001, the car is rust free, interior needs a little work but overall a great car.

1964 Ford Econoline Hippie Van??!
Location: Bellefonte PA
This tricked out van is at a used car lot. It's been repainted in a orange/white mix, chrome wheels with plastic inserts on preformance tires were also added. Fuzzy dice seat covers, Shag carpeting, a new audio system, disco ball, and tons of 60s posters on this.

1961 Pontiac Ventura
Location: Mechanicsburg, PA
I absolutely love Venturas, and it made me sad to see this one being neglected, sunk the whole way into the ground, I doubt there is any floors left, probably just good for parts now.

1960 Pontiac Bonneville
Location: Cape May, NJ
Found this car while on vacation! From the road it looked totally restored, but when I got closer I noticed the windows were down, and then I noticed there was rust on the hood, and man this thing is toasted! I guess the windows were smashed out, the interior is a moldy mess, floors are gone. It is for sale for $1,500, but given the state of repair this thing is in, that sounds a bit steep to me.

1959 Ford Galaxie Convertible
Location: Watkins Glen, NY
I actually found this car while I was attending the Grand Prix festival in New York, this was just a few minutes away from where we were staying. I'm sure the floors are gone, the roof already is!

1947 Ford Truck
Location: Backroad near Boiling Springs, PA
Very nice Truck this. The guy has a for sale sign in the window, it looks like it may need painted (might just be primered right now). Very nice job on the restoration!(assuming there was one)

1937 Ford
Location: Mechanicsburg,PA
Honestly, I couldn't really tell what this is, I was far away and my grandad had spotted it, It appears to be a late 30s-early 40s car, seems to be a Ford.
