Fisherman Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 That's sad, should be in a museum for all to see or at least restored and not forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey buoy Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Amazing!,How many times I drive out in the country and wonder what might be in some of those barns I pass. Interesting to see how this all unfolds. Edited December 13, 2014 by davey buoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted December 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Never could understand folks who have nice things and just let them rot away. If you don't want to sell them, why not give them to folks who would appreciate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whopper Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I saw that earlier this week, what a shame for most of those cars. The two in the garage are the money pieces, I believe one was one of three made and is worth between 10 and 15 million if I remember correctly. Had a guy in the area that was a horder, amassed a nice collection of early Mustangs, most sat in the same space for over 30 years, most sat and rusted. His property along with a bunch of land around him was annexed by a small town and after a couple years he was made made to clean up a eye sore he created.

irishfield Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Issue is a lot of guys have "plans" for things and just get too damn old before they can see them through to completion. Oh well, his Estate is going to do well when some of those go to auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshtrax Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I see your point but many of those cars wouldn't be worth what they are today 15 years ago. No matter what shape there in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
