I guess I'm the only one scratching their head wondering what the big deal is. It's a group of abandoned / salvage 928 chassis. 928 International has had far more cars stacked up at times compared to this.
A local shop in Green Bay at one time had more 928 shells lined up behind the shop than this (currently down to 3).
If this was 9 vintage V12 Ferraris I could understand all the hub-bub.
I think the emphasis is on the past tense in your examples and the actual fact that this is a big deal now. 10-15 years ago this probably would not have been news. I think this just shows that 928s are getting appreciated, which we all should be happy about.
There is a macabre fascination with carnage and extreme patina. Where something beautiful has fallen to near wreckage or disrepair...
As a kid I loved junkyards and started collecting porcelain signs, just for their beauty... Lots of them are rusty and show the ravages of time... IMO these cars are art!
Time marches on relentlessly - It is accelerated in the exposure oven these cars are being baked in...
i wouldn't be very happy if my personal junkyard went viral, but then again you have to be trespassing to see it.
The assumption I came away with after reading the article was that the guy who took the pictures was given access to the property as part of his job location scouting for Westworld.
