Re: What a Shame!
We all have asked someone if they'd sell us a car and have been turned down or vice-versa. There's a 69 RS Camaro with weeds growing thru it I've tried to buy on several occasions only to get a flat NO. I was to chicken to ask why but found out later it's the guy's High School ride. I said NO some kids 15 years ago asking to buy my delapidated 69 coupe I drove in High School because I was going to restore it someday.
Well it's taken 15 years to get started, I hope not to much longer to finish it and then I will be ready to sell it to them, hope they still want it.

Re: What a Shame!
Seller's remorse. Recently, I answered an ad for an old Camaro and when I said OK to the ASKING price the seller backed out. Go figure. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Re: What a Shame!
The guy might know what todays market brings for a restored car, but unaware what it costs to restore this car. Thus his view of it's worth is inflated. Also may not want to sell to someone with no interest in the car other than quick restoration, and large profit $$$$$$. Even if bought for $50,000 still good investment in todays market, my 2 cents worth.

Re: What a Shame!
So what has been offered for the car? Anyone willing to walk up and offer 50k cash? Amazing the effectiveness a briefcase with a lot of $$$ will have...
I hope this car ends up being restored....

Re: What a Shame!
Sad thing is... it's not the only Yenko car slowly rusting away in Wisconsin right now. Although I can respect the fact that these owners are just not interested in selling their cars, it's still a shame to see them sit and deteriorate outdoors, especially when it would take such little effort to get them indoors. BUT... what I do find degrading and offensive are some of the comments posted in this thread. I personally don't give a RAT'S ASS how deep of pockets anyone in this group has, nor is everyone born with a silver spoon their mouth. If anything, this hobby and the very existance of this website is based upon sharing ideas, information and just plain helping each other out, not for ripping someone apart because they won't sell you their car. It's no wonder why some of these owners have become so bitter over the years and seem to get more pleasure out of turning down offers and watching people walk away disappointed. If you really care about the hobby and preserving these cars, then why not offer to bring the guy a tarp or help him locate and move the car to a safer storage place. Believe me... a little kindness goes a long way.
Tom B. - My compliments to you for posting these photo's and raising awareness that a number of these cars are still sitting out there being neglected. Now it's up to fellow hobbyists to lend these people support and do what's necessary to help preserve these cars until they are ready to be restored. Penny for your thoughts people!
