Actually this one has been sitting a long long time in the same spot but I never had a camera handy until today. It sits in Wilkes-Barre, PA. and it is just another one of those "we're going to restore it someday" stories. That translates to "we're letting it rot into the earth and NO!!!! you can't have it". Grabber hood lip is gonzo but the rest of the car isn't too bad. Ugly non matching red buckets with an auto on the floor. Spoiler and front valance looked real good.
Nice find. When someone tells me they are going to "...restore it someday...", I always think to myself " Yeah, famous last words " because those are usually the last words said as the car heads off to the crusher. For years there was a blue Roadrunner with a white interior that sat along side a house in the neighboring town. It was a nice candidate for a restoration, but it had all kinds of crap piled on top of it and the owner would not sell it to anyone. As the years went by the car slowly sank into the ground until the wheels were half buried and the back end was in the mud. Now the owner is gone, the house torn down and rebuilt as a computer training center and from what I hear the car was hauled off to the junkyard.
That' all true, Jean. What is a shame is that they could get a few hundred bucks for it now or pay to haul it away later.
that story just reminded me of when i had my 63 1/2 futura hard top. you wouldnt believe how many times i answered the door to some one asking me if i wanted to sell that NOVA .....DUH!!!!
I have heard that story a few times myself. I did finally get a few of the cars after yrs went by becuase of zoning laws finally coming to little towns and I keep after the cars owners every so often. I also pay more then junk prices for parts cars
I stopped there about 2 months ago. Got name, phone number, and email. Was original 6, now 302 from a truck. I didn't look at cause the owner says they are going to restore it. It's a 72. The wife thinks the hood was added.
