The owner is probably [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] or [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/crazy.gif[/img] .

What's the most they've been offered? The number has to have moved around a lot since '84?

Tom
I'll bet that Camaro is the most expensive piece of realestate around there.
Lets cut to the chase...Is the owner a Packers Fan,and were you bothering him during the Game/Slaughter today. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: What a Shame!
 

Many people have bugged him over the years, several brought cash. Some of the names are familiar to you.

Car has power steering, original drivetrain. I know of underhood photos taken about a year ago.

Rick, you are right! It is the most expensive piece property in the area! The owner would not even come out of the house, he sent one of his relations out to talk to me. They claim they are going to start a resto on it but I think that is a bunch of BS. He was supposed to put it in a garage yesterday but did not feel like it. I think this car will still be in the same spot until it rots away!

Re: What a Shame!
 

You guys all offered cash.Maybe offer him a house in a better neighborhood?

Re: What a Shame!
 

That car gives him a feeling of power. He doesn't have much money but he has something that people with money want. And he can tell them to stuff it. I'd imagine he is a bitter guy. He may even think he will actually restore it one day. I know of a guy like that here in Missouri with a '68 Shelby GT 500 KR convertible. He has been offered big money for it but won't sell. At least it sits in a garage though.

Re: What a Shame!
 

I think Chris is on the right track here. People like this just love having something that a lot of other people want, a sense of 'power' if you will. He will never restore it and the grass will probably be above the car in a couple of years. A real shame.

Re: What a Shame!
 

Anyone get a snapshot of the trim tag when they took the photos of the engine compartment?

Re: What a Shame!
 

In these cases it is often fueled by a huge difference between their expectations and reality. To face the reality means a massive adjustment in value placed on the object, and on the individuals feelings of wealth, unless some crisis intervenes for friends or family, where money can be put in perspective it will probably sit where it is.

Hey does anyone know what he has been offered, any guesses as to cost of restoration ??
