Bill,
Short of Grand Theft I dont believe it possible for anyone to purchase the car. The reasoning behind it not being for sale at any price by any method is anybodys guess. As for rational as to why, possibly this car is the only method of attention the owner gets, could also be a sentimental reason, or maybe a title problem through a lein or divorce. Whatever the reason, a piece of american muscle car history is wasting away to nothing through stupidity. A true tragedy without a solution. The owner has been offered far more then the car is worth in it's present condition, only in an effort to save it from total deteriation. Good luck to anyone else that takes a stab at it.

Its the same 'ole story I've personaly seen for years. Although not Yankos as in Matts' case, I've seen very original, desirable cars rot away. The red-neck owner thought he had a 'Gold Mine', only to see it turn into dust in a old tobacco warehouse.

Such a waste!!!

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.

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.......
