Re: Car Sitting for a little bit - check the pics!

It is extremely well preserved. the worst thing is, is the the owner drove from Wis to Florida to pick it up from his dad who had it down there, and towed it back home. that was about 3 or 4 years ago.

In that time, it had simply sat under a tarp and blankets outside, while parked under some pine trees. Nothing has been done to it, aside from getting it to run. Mind you, this was accomplished by my dad and I, since he couldn't figure out how to hook the coil up right. I can safely say, the guy is alot of talk, and no action, and quite frankly, a borderline idiot. haha.

He said he was going to fix it up and drive it a little bit. To my knowledge, it just needs some brake work, the driveshaft hooked back up, and maybe a few odds and ends. But, regardless.

I'd love to see this car get the treatment it deserves. And I hope once things smooth out for them, they are able to get her cleaned up and back to her prior glory, even if it's just a coat of wax away.
