Cars in Baker Montana
« on: May 25, 2012, 12:10:16 PM »
Anyone near Baker Montana that can look at some Kaisers that are (abandoned?) on a ranch in Baker Montana.
There maybe parts in the shed.
Owners passed away and the estate wants to remove these cars.
Call 815 722 7262 in Illinois for info.

Where in the state is Baker Montana?  How much time do "we" have?

These cars are free for the taking but clean up after you.

We have 3 members in Montana and 1 in the eastern part of the state. No names mentioned here because it would get broadcast across the Internet. I highly doubt anyone in MT checks in here.  One I think does, but lives in Kalispell, which I do not believe is eastern.    I will call the one in Billings tomorrow and the estate seller tomorrow.

The "what if" is what always gets me. "What if" there is a Dragon, or a convertible or ?? there that gets crushed or even a low western rust car that is complete.

This member from Montana just got access to the forum after trying repeatedly for a year.  I'd be interested, but Baker is almost 600 miles east of me.  Still, one has to wonder just what kind of shape they're in....

It's too bad nobody is posting any pictures.  Seeing condition makes a world of difference.

Jack
Photos sent to me were not in high resolution and may not be in a format suitable for me to add to the forum. I can say these are full on projects and I only received (I think) 2 photos simply identifying the vehicles and not much else. Given that they are free, I would not expect much more.  If I was in eastern Montana or within 300 miles they would be worth picking up.

Just checking. Are the cars still available?

I would love to see pictures if they are. I am in Idaho.

Sorry I have deleted the emails received from my personal request to the seller. You can make contact by the information noted above but I can tell you - unless new high resolution photos have been taken - the 2 photos I received are basically acknowledgement of cars only, and show no detail.  Assume the worst.
