Saw something that made me want to cry last night....

So I was poking around on Craigslist like I like to do on a daily basis and some guy in Hillsborough had a number of classic cars up for sale for $1,000 each. Turns out he lives a mile away from me so I decided to take a ride over.

This guy literally has about 10-12 classic cars rotting away to nothing out back on his farm. He has 3 67 Mustangs, a 68 Mustang, 72 Nova, Mid 60's Impala SS, Mid 60's Rambler, 56 Buick Special, an old Opal, an old Maverick, a 64 or 65 Catalina, and about 4 late 60's pickups back there. I don't think a single one is worth restoring at this point.

Apparently his father collected them all in hopes of doing something with them and they just sat for 20 years in the field on the farm. There isn't a single one now that doesn't have body rot all the way through. I don't even think there's much in the way of good parts left. And this guy thinks he's going to get a grand for each of them....the Mustangs aren't even worth $300 a piece. The only car that may be restorable there was the Nova.

It's people like that who make me sick....ruining pieces of history by plain old neglect.
