Makes one want to tie the individual to a post and take out a bull whip. It should have been sold long before now.

Not worth the $500.  I hate to see that.  Especially with the recent additions to my collection.  I think it is pretty common to let a car disintegrate into the soil........

What possesses people to just leave a car in a field for 30+ years?  I mean, the car could have been sold. Amazing, just amazing.

There's lots more like that.  The stories I could tell about SE's sitting in mudholes, Formulas left in the yard, etc...  cars I know of and the owners refuse to sell.   Most are parts cars now anyway.  Some of them have pulled apart.  And I have brought some home like that.  At least they could donate some parts to another car.

I can see it being parked if it had engine trouble...for awhile...but 30 years?????  :o ::) >:(
After a year or two, wouldn't ya' start to notice the car was turning to crap and do something about it??







Some of them have pulled apart. 

Yeah, I like how he covered his a$$ in the auction: if it breaks in 1/2 during loading, you're on your own basically  ::) ::)

I bet when the car was left there it wasn't worth squat.  I remember when you could buy a '63 Vette with the split rear window for $3K.  That formula's been sitting in that spot for years just rusting away because there was no value associated with it.

Your probably right, but the least they could of done was put a roof over its head.
Title: Re: Just Sad :(
Post by: RENOVATIONS on October 15, 2008, 03:51:23 PM
I agree...I personally couldn't let ANY car sit and get to that condition though  :'(
Title: Re: Just Sad :(
Post by: BACnBLK on October 16, 2008, 12:08:40 AM
Sheeze... That was hard looking at. what a shame. 30 years??? He should just give the thing away now.
Title: Re: Just Sad :(
Post by: ta78w72 on October 16, 2008, 02:58:42 PM
He should sell it for scrap metal.  He might be able to get $500 for it.
Title: Re: Just Sad :(
Post by: Sir english firebird on October 16, 2008, 03:05:57 PM
If shipping wasnt such a nightmare etc etc, id chase it, after recovering it, id still slap him.

thats one of the worst cases of neglect and lazy ive seen, jeff.  surprised he had the cohoneys to advertise it on ebay. a one owner, original 4 speed? look how straight and tight all the panels line up. wouldnt be surprised if the gears in the rear end are rust-locked.
