I hear ya! I have a 69 Mach basket case that I keep dreaming about getting back on! Only good thing about getting laid off due to this stinking virus is having lots of time to work on my junk!I’ve been in those yards in Omaha back in the 80’s when I used to live up there. Last time I remember, I was looking for some part for a 69 body Mustang. The JY owner was the same type of guy, had a 63 Tbird Roadster that the convertible top was stuck in “ mid-up”. The fiberglass Tonneau that would‘ve ordinarily covered the back seat was off, and on the ground. The owner’s grandkids were jumping on it because it was their version of a JY bouncy-trampoliney.
When I came around the corner and saw it, I gasped and asked how much he wanted for it.
“8000.00!“
I scoffed at the price because the top had been open and allowed the elements to destroy the white leather interior. “ I know what this car’s worth, and I ain’t giving nothing away.......You thought you were gonna steal it huh?”. “It’ll turn to rust before I’ll let anybody steal anything from me” ...
He was a stupid, stupid man.
