Just thought I would share some pics of a former race car that is in a storage facility near me. Not a Mopar, but a sad sight. I'm sure it could tell some stories. Big Ol' Firestone slicks, Cobra decals and emblems on the dash, full cage, and lots of rust. Randy

I was going to say I would love to get it running and safe and make some passes down the track looking just the way it is...
...until I saw that trunk lid. I can only imagine what it looks like underneath...
When I started working on my Rampage it wasnt that bad on the body but the whole underside was rotted to death.. I was leary of opening the doors and sitting in it.. figured it might bend in half

Battery in the trunk explode? Luckily it's a Mustang. They make every part you can think of to fix it.

Just FYI I bought a car that had rusted through, roof, hood, deck lid, and radiator support, but, the floor and quarter panels were solid! I always thought that it had been covered with plastic and the condensation caused this. Problem with this Mustang is there has been water going into the trunk for some time. What a shame. It does beg for a closer look.

If it is in a paid storage facility someone is still paying to keep it there. In most facilities if the rent is not paid the item will be sold at auction. At the facility where I worked in the '90s, It only took about 3 months of no rent paid for the item to be sold.
