    That's probably the same mentality the guy had who owned this stuff. It's good this stuff is going to be sold off, so it's back in circulation, and not sitting until the owner dies, and somebody else comes along to sit on it too.

  6. It's a 67 actually. (Hard to tell from that small visible part for those that don't know) Bought it my senior year of highschool. It was in boxes. It's basically just rotting in my drive way.

    will do. Started sorting today.

    I don't know if I would call it a short time. He said he had it posted for months. I was tipped off by someone else.

    Sorry, no roadster stuff.

    It does. It's also a lot of work....

    We're 8 full truck and trailer loads in at this point and still have more to go. Basically we have been driving there. Which is a little over an hour one way. Load the trucks. Drive back. Park two trailers and trucks, shower, eat something, go to sleep around 4am. Wake up, unload, leave at 3pm to 4pm to head back out and do it all again.

    It's not for the faint of heart, But I'd do it again in a heart beat. I enjoy the hard work, especially when the payoff it worth it.

    thanks everyone for the well wishes!
