An Australian car YouTuber who lives in Japan has uncovered one of the most interesting things we’ve seen in a while: a C3 Corvette just abandoned next to a rice field. The American sports car sits in disrepair and a state of disassembly out in the middle of nowhere at an undisclosed location. It’s a wild sight to behold, but that’s not all.
Check out the 1972 Pontiac GTO abandoned in a literal barn.
As SAMMIT shows in a video, the C3 Corvette which is a true ricer (it’s right next to rice stalks) isn’t alone. There are at least two other C3s in the area. Those two are perched atop some metal structure.
But wait, there’s more (literally)! SAMMIT can see through the thick underbrush what be believes are yet more Corvettes hidden from view. Are they C3s? Likely they are since the other three are. But why would they all be dumped out in the middle of the Japanese countryside?
Considering Corvettes are a rarity in Japan, one would think each and every one would be cherished, not left to rot in a field. Sure, we see this sort of thing in North America all the time. But in Japan of all places? This is unbelievable.
There is one clue about the ‘Vette left on the ground next to the rice field. You can see the roof is damaged, and there are other signs of body damage (front bumper, side mirror, etc. The hood is also missing. We’re thinking the American sports car was in a crash, but did the Japanese owner buy it that way? Or did he wreck it?
Another possibility is that some American servicemen brought the Corvettes over. But when they were restationed outside of Japan, they opted to not bring their rides with them for whatever reason. That happens.
What do you think happened with this ricer C3 Corvette?
