How do people let that happen to such a car???

Mine was a '69 Firebird. Original owner parked in 1976 because of a bad starter. Carefully kept it tarped outside which caused the vinyl to stay damp and eat the roof. Second owner bought it from him and also couldn't figure out the starter (bracket was too tough)! I removed the starter and had it running in a week. It's a nice original car that I can hopefully save (quarters and bits of the floorpan are gone too) sad that no one took the time to fix it...neat that the chrome slotted steel mags had TUBES in them and the Sun tach still looks good!

Around here rotting and not for sale?
1972 SS 350 Camaro, not for sale and has finally sunk past the rockers, "I'm gonna restore it someday." Got chased off last time by an irate wife and weiner dog! Probably no longer repairable.

1970 RS/SS 350 camaro in a junkyard, asking price $2750, seized engine, no floorpans, no rockers, interior water damaged beyond belief would break in two if you tried to move it...was driven in and used to be a solid car.

1968 SS 396 same yard asking $6500, same condition except it's only a shell and the roof's caved in.

Three Mustangs, 1967, 1968, and 1969 Fastbacks. All are to be restored, he bought them ten years ago and is keeping them because he won't be able to afford to buy them later...too bad he can't turn a wrench (has his work done at a garage) or figure out what damp soil under the cars does to them (garage too full of old newspapers), Will NEVER be restored or sold, they'll be hauled off as scrap metal after he dies.

That is an awesome paint job on the mustang. Not too many cars running around today with paint schemes like that. Very cool

Paint jobs like that are like tattoos, some day you'll look at it and say "What was I thinking..."
