Two Broncos, a Meyers Manx dune buggy, and '63 Ford Fairlane hiding in the back. This homeowner obviously wants to protect his vehicles and the contents of his garage, so he had a wrought iron fence erected around them. No need to speculate about what might be in the garage---it's always open. Nothing has changed in at least one year here. Picture number 4 was taken July 17, 2025. The others were taken last month. The black Fairlane 500 two-door sedan looks pretty nice. I would say this guy has too many project going on. What do you think?

It looks like he is much like most of us. At a certain age we get consumed with work, weekend activities and repeat. That leaves little time for any project, much less multiple ones. The Fairlane looks to be the best one to start with then maybe the topless Bronco. Great photo report Pete!!

IMO the Fairlane is the only vehicle worth saving. The lawn and house are a mess. Pity his neighbors. Great series Pete, keep them coming.

Yeah, everything including the house looks pretty rough short of the Fairlane, or at least what we can see of it. That's the one I'd want.💯👍 Thanks Pete, I'm still enjoying these.😊

Your auto discoverings are great. I've always like the 63 Fairlanes.

Oooooooooooo..... ALL you guys are SO wrong! 😮
That RARE Meyers Manx, properly restored is - believe it or not - a SIX FIGURE car! I can't believe that owner is letting his deteriorate as birds s on it. What a *** waste!
That 4-door Fairlane isn't worth squat!

I saw your dune buggy pics and thought it was the real thing! Great pictures, Scale? These are my dune buggies, FM 1/24:
I believe the Fairlane in the driveway is a 500 two-door sedan, similar to this one:
Glad y'all are enjoying what I find around the neighborhood!

Those Buggys are 👍. I’ll bet the one Chris posted is a 1/18 by Norev… but lately I’ve been wrong 🤣

@pete-rovero My dune buggy is by Solido in 1/18 scale.
And I think you're right about that Fairlane; I assumed "4-door" because it appeared to me that he "blacked out" the rear door's vertical chrome vent-window frame.
However, when I compare that image to an actual 4-dr sedan I see NOW that the frame isn't even in that location - it's further back. So, it's all moot.
I guess I'm seeing something that's NOT there. 🙄 🙄 🙄 Regardless, that 2-dr Fairlane sedan is still worth less (unless it has an experimental 429 big block in it...😉 😉 ) than the Meyers Manx.
