2 75 Swallowtails found...

I know this is stateside, but I thought I would share.

My wife and I were out cruising the countryside here in Michigan when I spotted a small tail light Rabbit/Golf sitting behind a barn.
Had her pull into the driveway at this abandoned residence, get out to look and actually find 2 2 door Swallowtail Rabbits. Been sitting for 23 plus years.

Fiesta Orange is the color of both. Nearly identical cars. 100% complete and original cars.

Got the name from mailbox and with a little help from the internet I was able to track down the owner and made a phone call. They are mine.

Will get pics of where they were found and currently sitting. Also will get pics up once I get them home. I was like a kid in a candy store when I found them.

This will be 3 Swallowtail Rabbits.

I know it is worthless without pics. That is why I said I would post pics when I go back.

It was raining pretty steady when found and didn't have a good camera at the time…. Sorry!

Ship one to the uk to my address then you won't need to worry about posting the pics

If I could, I would.

I was really surprised to find them!! 8O

wow! what a great find, well done buddy, look forward to seeing them, Rich

a great find , well spotted.......look forward to the pics, will you save them or break them ?

Haven't decided on redoing them or parting them out yet.

Hopefully they aren't too far gone.

amazing.
its great when you find a bargain

thats amazing, im sooo jelous of you!

No need to be jealous... I just got lucky. Mk1 gods were definitely present.

Pics of the STs. Beyond saving….



Different ST swoops..



Shame…

no way beyond saving

wow… bumper and a half

Cool find! Save the camper as well! Send me the side markers? And maybe a set of bumpers?

definitly worth saving if you can, although if they are too far gone theres alot of parts stil salvagable, rear panel and lights, bumpers etc. people would go crazy for those bits over here

such a sad sight..
must be worth pulling out at least??

I totally plan on getting them back to the house. Too many sweet parts on these cars to let them sit and rust the rest of the way away.

I don't think getting rid of parts will be a problem. too many requests already….

both the filler caps are better than mine.  There was a build on here of something much worse than these. just give them away to the right man! The right man is all it takes.

Im glad I hadnt seen these! I honestly dont think I could have just left them...
