Maybe we can all pitch in a buck and send the guy a car cover...What is his reason for not selling the car? what possible line of Bullshit could he actually have for not selling or restoring the car...Its like having a stack of gold bars sitting in your yard but your either too lazy or too stupid to pick them up..

Maybe we can stop by and offer to take the car to get washed and an oil change. Some of those oil changes are pretty tricky and it could take 15 or 20 years to make sure its done correctly..

Norm,
I had suggested using the Tony Soprano tactic awhile back, that I didnt try, many board members here frowned upon the idea, which I have to agree with in most cases since American Freedom would mean this nut can do whatever he wants with "his" car, although I still find it ludicrous.

I understand Motown What I don’t under stand its like wining the lottery and say no thanks to the money he has a lottery ticket in he’s yard I just hope that car will be saved some day

Disturbing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Has anyone seen the movie " The Star Chamber"? Maybe a higher power needs to intervene?

Gotta Agree. No matter how much it sucks, this is america and if the guy wants to let big money sit and rot.........
What about the museum approach, or one of you guys surely knows someone at a "super chevy" type mag that might be able to make him a offer. Evryone wants to be a star sorta thing. Give him his 15min of fame. Who knows what his buttons are, but if you find the right one, this car can get back into circulation.......

It's his car.He probably has a good reason for keeping it....Tom B. .......has anyone ever really asked him why this car means so much to him ?

Motown,

Did you ever get to talk to the owner directly via phone or face to face? I am curious what kind of a guy he is... who knows maybe this car has some great sentimental value to him...

Do we have a VIN on this car? What is the history on it? I think someone with a restored Yenko should drive over to his house in the spring to show him what his car used to look like and to say hi to him. (and maybe bring along a six pack!!! ) And do it in a friendly manner not trying to push the guy around about selling his car. Just to talk cars, hell the guy has a Yenko! He has to like cars!!!

Would love to know the story behind this one..... Motown... were you able to get any history on it?

I have to agree with previous statements... this is America and if someone wants to let a rare historic car rot in his yard it is his right... but maybe it would be possible to get the guy excited about cars/his car again and then maybe then he would want to save it or just keep it from rotting away...

This story needs a happy ending!!!!!! (if I lived by there I would have to take a drive by and say hi.... what the hell..)

This guy will talk to you all day about anything until the car is mentioned....then he refuses to discuss it and walks away. Possibly this belonged to one of his kids who did not return home from a war or other unfortunate circumstance. It has to be a meaningful to him reason, it's not like he is putting up with $1500 offers on this car, he has been offered 60K that I am aware of, and I believe at least that much on another occasion. He has his feet dug in on this one guys, I dislike the situation as much as anyone, but what the heck are we supposed to do?
