What a waste these old fools who don't want to sell any thing. It just sit there and rots away till there is no choice but to crush

For years my cousin (age 60 now) left his 67 Chevelle 2 door hardtop sitting in plain view near the road that runs past our house. From time to time, people would stop in here (closest house in view of it) to try to buy the car. I knew it wasn't for sale and always told them so. My cousin said he told people who asked that it wasn't for sale because when he was a kid, the old guys would never sell anything to him that he wanted to buy!

After about 10 or more years of it sitting there, at least he sold it to a friend of his (same age as he is) before it totally returned to the earth!!! Now at least we get to see it cruising around in the summer time.

Those "gonna fix it up some day" guys drive me crazy.....

When I was a teenager you could still wander freely in the auto wreckers in London. We would even "borrow" one of the yard cars and bomb around looking for parts. I still remember being in an old Audi and my buddy going flat out power shifting and flying through huge puddles. I'm surprised we never got caught! One yard (Andy's Auto Wreckers) used to have a bunch of cars that weren't quite ready for the yard parked out front for sale. They were always unlocked and we would sit in our favorites and try to figure out how to raise the 4 or 5 hundred bucks to buy them. I'll never forget the 70 Pontiac T-37 2 door they had for sale for $450. It was red with white vinyl top and interior. I wanted that car bad!

I've seen many a cool car in the yards over the years, but the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona wing car that sat at Cathcart Auto Parts back in the mid '70's was the one that always stuck in my mind. It still had the nose & rear wing on it, was hit in the drivers door. Went for scrap.

Speaking of winged Mopars. I remember my dad telling me a guy in a Superbird rear ended a London Transit bus in the early 70's and was killed. I guess he was really moving!
