Group,
These cars are in my area Grass Valley, California. I have seen them and the parts. The 11 on the hill are mostly empty shells. They have been sitting in the open for a very long time. Most of the glass is even out of them. There may be a coupe or two with a windshield and I remember one sedan with a good windshield. The interior parts are mostly shot and there is RUST in most of the bodies. No shocks, rear ends, subframes and of course no engines in any of them.
There is hope for the two Coupes in the shed. They do appear to be complete except for batteries. The tires and wheels are off and may be there. Of course the brake pedals go to the floor! Paint is homegrown and looks OK from 20 feet. The sedan has no front or rear seats in it. Like the Coupes, no battery, tires, wheels and pedal to floor.
There are lots and lots of used parts everywhere. It has all been a bit damp for years though and I considered that everything is a core and would need work to be usable. I didn't see any "real gold", but you know what they say about one man's trash!

Re: Cars in Northern Cal
When Bruce and I met in Grass Valley the cars were covered with snow. I have someone to take them away but I showed them in case anyone would like to salvage from them. Even as Bruce told me when we met, there is some but not a lot of salvage on these cars. Most of them were salvaged by the former owner when he was alive. Bruce is right, though he didnt see gold, Im sure there is some silver in them. All three cars were running three years ago, I have two othere n600's at my house that I am restoring. If you are interested make me an offer. OH, I did upload the pictures resized for all to see.
Thanks to all for replying in helping me sell these for a friend.
