Yeah, I'd have darn-near wrecked my car if I'd seen a blue 'bird peeking out of someone's garage! Love the colors--blue/black with white guts.

The car looks to have been restored in the past but is being neglected today. The car was FILTHY. The pics make it look better. The kid had to have been 10 years old and even voluntered to open the hood for me! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

The motor was worse looking than the outside and was caked with oil & grime. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Frank, get back there and make the kid an offer! Maybe some Pop-rocks and a Coke will do it!

Kid volunteered to open the hood?

I'm going to pre chew my kids out right now, and tell them to never open the garage for strangers.

This is one that I took near my previous house in Plainfield, IL. The guy has a $hit load of old signs and very cool stuff littered ALL OVER. I hear that he is a mean guy so I never dared to enter the property. Here are a couple of Mustangs that he had outside.

This is a cool one. I bought this car from it's 30 year owner in January 2003. The car was sitting in this garage on the North Side of Chicago untouched and unstarted for 20 years prior to me buying it. The car was ALL original and unmodified. I was going to keep it as a muscle car "beater" to drive to cruise nights and such until I realized that I could not get my leg under the stearing wheel! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif I bought the car for $3,900 and sold it on e-bay the next week for $11,100! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif I NEVER even sat in or started the car at all. The guy that I sold it to e-mailed me a week later and said that the car started right up after a tune up and after a cleaning he sold it for $15,000 to another guy a week after that!!

These pics were taken by me of the car "as found".
