Was it his personal car? Maybe the car belonged to his son and something happened to him?
Its a shame to see it just sit there... only time will tell!

He bought it new, and ordered it exactly the way he wanted.
He is a nice guy, who thinks he will eventually put the car on the road. I believe I will have an opportunity to save the car from further deterioration real soon. I know one thing...I won't give up.

Keep trying Steve, looks like a nice find, there are so many original owners like this guy, and not sure why.

Tell him the price will include mowing down the weeds also..
That is a shame, could be a cool car.
Maybe money does not motivate him, trade him a car/truck.

Weeds? To the owner that's landscaping!

Yeah, it's a shame to see a car like that sit and fall apart. But it's probably a situation where he ordered it like that and just can't part with it. Wish he would have covered it better like you said Steve.

By now that floor will be gone.

That is a major concern of mine. Remarkably the outside sheetmetal looks OK. The floors, rockers and trunk are sure to be a problem.

Steve,
Were you able to see the engine?

**Steve Shauger** · #8 11-14-2005, 06:05 PM

I looked at the engine back in 1994. He installed a 427 short block. The orig shortblock is in his basement and all correct.
