Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
One of my fellow car club members told me that some of my cars made it onto the rotting Musclecars board. Although the Packard isn't a muscle car, coming in at a mere 225hp when new, it does have a rot hole on the other side. The Mustang that you barely caught in the pic, has rust on both sides, and rot in the floor.
Both of these cars are used everyday. Today I drove the Mustang from where I live to Jersey City and back (about 2 hours each way).
I just wanted to throw a note up telling everyone that these two cars, as well as the 60 Rambler, are works in progress and they each see thousands of dollars thrown into them every year. The Mustang just finished it's first ever engine rebuild, and the Packard got new seats and headliner, as well as brakes all around.
You can also see the ass end of my wife's 90 LTD Country Squire that just finished a repaint, with a nifty 1931 Caddy hood ornament guiding the way. Now that her car is just about done, I can refocus on mine again.
Thanks for the pics posted. I am guessing that "Scene on the Street" would likely be less offensive. Although I can't deny my cars are rotting, because two of them clearly have issues, I am going as fast as my wallet will allow. Unlike so many of the cars shown (like the photo directly below mine), I just can't empty my daughters college fund into my rides.
On the upside, these cars get seen everyday and usually get thumbs up by those not brave enough to keep the older sheet metal alive.
