    Went to a guy's house today for OT "stuff" wood to be exact. This is a shot driving into his property. Can you find and ID the 2 cars in the pic's?

    Two Birds that sit outside all day, all night, all summer, all winter, under a tree. Yes they are in very nice shape but won't be much longer, they have been there for years already! The red one has a Paxton Supercharger. The owner doesn't have the means to maintain them but won't sell either................I am not a T-Bird kinda guy but it is a shame!

    Every time I have had a car, but not the means, I sell it. Let someone else get it to where it needs to be. Sure I miss my convertible, my gran torino, camaro, etc. But I'm not about to let it just "sit" and degrade.
    My Dad worked with a guy that had a mid 50's Tbird. Sat in his garage. Would never sell it, but couldn't fix it up either. Guess what? He died without ever doing the car any favors. Now his son has it and guess what....it's just sitting in his garage now too.
    Ugh.

    Sorry, worded the wrong way. I was merely asking. It's a cool find either way. Too bad the owner won't sell.

    Sad, very sad. Possibly down right criminal!
     
  12. WOW a pair of 57's. Could easily be $40-50,000 worth for the pair, depending on current condition, and he is going to let them become worth Zero

    Maybe I'm wrong,But it seems he could sell one to get the coin to do the other.
