Default Re: L88 Vette on Ebay

exactly...been many good cars unearthed like this, as we all know the people who leave decent cars like this outside for years love them but dont have a clue on how to care for the stuff...I know if I lived within driving distance I would have allready been there.

Looking at this auction brings me back about 7 years ago.
Also - to Long Island. I had a client at the time who ownd several
"special" Ford high performance cars including a 289 Cobra,
a 427 Cobra and two original GT40's. These of course were
all parked in his garage. However, outside in the tall
grass ( rusting away ) was a 1970 428 Super Cobra Jet Cougar.
The owner drove past it every day and was un-moved
about its condition. Finally, a house painter working on
the estate next door spotted the Cougar and rescued it.
According to my client, the painter never did make full
payment on the car - but took delivery anyway.

So - perhaps the L-88 in question is the bottom of the barrel for
its current owner. Wish I had a spare $30,000.00
so I could get this baby ( if real - that is ).
