This very common in the south. I know where a 70 model challanger is in Sylvester Ga just sitting and has been for 10 yrs +
A 59 Corvette in a Garage
And a 58 Corvette in a back yard
And they do not want to sell them because of sentimental reasons.

See, that's what I don't understand. It's almost like a mental illness. If there's so much sentimental emotion attached to those cars, let them go to someone that will restore them and take care of them. You gotta ask "if this car could talk, what would it say?"....

there is a guy in the area that has a large building full of mopars and parts. so much in fact, that cars are sitting outside, rotting away, because there is no room inside for them. the guy had a charger/coronet/road runner fetish and there are a bunch there, mostly fully intact. i even saw what looked to be a complete super bird in the corner buried under boxes. also, on the inside is box after box of vintage performance parts, unopened from back in the day. the upstairs part of this building has almost every piece of trim and interior parts imaginable and would be a goldmine for any mopar enthusiast trying to restore theirs. the problem is, this guy is not selling any of it except on occasions when he has more than two of what you are looking for. luckily, i was able to get a rust free rear bumper for my 73 road runner from him to see this goldmine in person. his son was a mechanic at my work and just happened to start talking cars to him the one day and he had me meet him at his dad's house. it was unbelievable. wish i would have taken pics.

this guy was clearly sick in the head!

I didn't find this one, but its a 1976 limited edition trans am, that is in the process of being saved. It is not mine, sadly.
