Us Foward Look-era MoParists sure are a different breed. Some of you just don't get it. That's fine though, to each his own. This is an important vehicle,

I'm not necessarily able to qualify as a "forward look" guy, but I can tell you, I surely get it.

I would LOVE to just LOOK at the car.
I have no idea how anybody could talk about "crushing" it, but there are all kinds on MoParts...?

Gentleman lets try to keep this thread on target and not take on the problems of the whole world.

If you want to talk about the car or the unburial fine. if ya'll continue to squabble and whine we might just as well lock this up now and avoid the chaos that will ensue.

it's up to you?

We will be good!


I just feel for the hardcore dedicated "Forward Look" guys. They truly are in a different circle IMO.

There are over 14000 members. Discounting a few, shall we say 12000? If each would contribute $5, that would be a chunk of it...

---

The sad part of that is that even if you DID pull off getting five bucks out of every member here, that would still be only about a fifth of what it would cost to properly restore a Forward Look car to factory fresh. Especially one that needs everything like that poor car does. That may even be a conservative estimate. NOS Forward Look parts are near impossible to find and you can't just call Year One or Harden's and order up most everything you need. Restoring a Forward Look car makes restoring a Hemi Cuda like restoring a '69 Camaro.

A $60K donation to the restoration fund from all of the members here would be nice. Count me in for twenty bucks if it happens. Five from me and five from each of my three old school Mopars to see one of their older sisters brought back to life.

I think they should restore it the same way that people restore other valuable cars that are total basket cases. That means thousands of man hours, body swap, whatever it takes. I don't see this car as any less important than cars that are supposedly worth millions of dollars.

And after it is meticulously restored, it should be buried again (with a new time capsule), except this time it should be done right. Then it can be unearthed for the 150th anniversary to start the process all over again. That way, each generation can contribute to the history of the car, and there will always be people alive with a personal stake in the car. Otherwise, everyone who had anything to do with it will eventually die and it will become just another museum piece. If you did this every 50 years, people old enough will remember the last time it was unearthed, and some of the people who helped will still be around no matter how old the car becomes.

I read that chrysler wants the car.

I read somewhere that whom ever wins the car can trade it for any new chrysler of their choosing.
