I can never understand why people that own cars like that won't come off of them? Must be some kind of mental disorder because it is sure seems to be common. The car that's on the rotiserie in primer in my earlier posts on this thread is another one of the 19 you mentioned, it was light blue metallic with a blue interior, it's from Concord California, I've known the car since about 1985.
Mental disorder is correct We always ask ourselfs why do people allow the special cars to set out side in the weather if they are not going to sell them or do anything with them, what kind of reasoning, mental block or just plain nut case thought process do they use ? The answer is NONE because they have the thought process of morons..in most cases.

I think the dis-order is people are aware they get attention with the car they would'nt normally get. People have unrealistic dreams with the budgets they live on. They always have hope of one day restoring the car but never put forth the effort it takes to improve their check book. Nor do they in most cases know how to turn a screw driver, but as the saying goes I'm going to restore it some day, or I'm going to give it to my son for his 16th birthday, question how old is your son now ? 6 That some day comes and goes and never happens. Bill, you do need a better plan it sounds. You have known this man for years.. What kind of car does he like the most ? Take a running,driving car there don't offer it right away just dangle it by giving him a ride etc, then leave and allow him a few days to let it soak into his thick skull, then reappear with the car and offer the trade. If he's married maybe use the wifes favorite car. logan426

Know what I'd do? Offer him a weekend of your time to go out there and get the thing cleaned up and stored properly, at least it might help prevent further deterioration before you (or he ) can get around to restoring it someday, same goes for the engine if it's exposed.
Bill,
Have you thought about the nice driver trade ??
Scott and I will offer our time to go and make sure the car is properly stored. Please forward map instructions. I'll take a roll back transporter with me just in case it needs to be moved to Illinois or Washington
Kidding aside do what Scott says and offer your time to get it put inside some where.

There are at least a few people here like that.My buddy lived in the sticks in Pa.We went to bring his 55 Chevy back.He stopped at a few farms he knew.One had a bunch of coupes and old roadsters stored on the hillside.One was a 40 Caddy that was like new when stored.It was up to the bumpers where it had sunk.I asked if they wanted to get rid of any of them.The guy says nope.I might fix them one day.That was probally 20 years ago.They are still sitting there.Rocky

Looks like this guy waited just a little to long to sell his, makes you wonder what the reserve is
66 Coronet
Do people think they will get a higher bid if they show pics in it's 'as found' state? What's wrong with getting it off the ground by airing up the tires, cleaning the patina off it, parking it where it won't fill up with leaves, then take pics and list it?
