Rick, you are right! It is the most expensive piece property in the area! The owner would not even come out of the house, he sent one of his relations out to talk to me. They claim they are going to start a resto on it but I think that is a bunch of BS. He was supposed to put it in a garage yesterday but did not feel like it. I think this car will still be in the same spot until it rots away!

You guys all offered cash.Maybe offer him a house in a better neighborhood?

That car gives him a feeling of power. He doesn't have much money but he has something that people with money want. And he can tell them to stuff it. I'd imagine he is a bitter guy. He may even think he will actually restore it one day. I know of a guy like that here in Missouri with a '68 Shelby GT 500 KR convertible. He has been offered big money for it but won't sell. At least it sits in a garage though.

I think Chris is on the right track here. People like this just love having something that a lot of other people want, a sense of 'power' if you will. He will never restore it and the grass will probably be above the car in a couple of years. A real shame.

Anyone get a snapshot of the trim tag when they took the photos of the engine compartment?
