I agree with everyone else, contact the owners of the storage lot and try to find out more or do some checks on the VIN it could be possible they were stolen as to I find it hard to believe the owner would leave to cars like that sitting wasting away in the grass at a storage lot.

Unless someone who owns them only recently put them there for a short time and plan to get them soon?

The CETA has 2 different rims on it so it might have been wrecked and one of the rims got destroyed. Driver side looks good but cant see the other side.

Could also be that someone had them in storage, and got behind on payments so the storage owner took them out and may be putting them up for public auction.

Whoever owns these should be kicked in the sack. Seriously. Those are two highly collectible convertibles, just sitting out in the Texas sun? Idiotic.

As a matter of facts while I was deployed. My car was at a performance shop being built. When I returned on R&R it was n sad shape. Different rims cracked dash a ruined transmission and upon pulling heads pistons installed wrong. Good luck on saving these two cars. Nice finds BTW.

There's gotta be a reason they're sitting there or have sat there for so long. I'm not saying a good reason, cause there is no good reason to torture fbods like that.

Considering Joe will stop in the middle of a cruise (not car show, just a cruise) at least 3 times to detail his car, probably just a little dirt and mold

j/k man

I would be willing to bet the door was probably closed on that car, someone was probably just being nosy looking inside or broke into it and thats why it was left open. Sad to see these cars in this shape, makes you wonder what else is out there just sitting behind some building no one knows about
