    Hmmmm.....hating on a guy cause he left these cars to sit and rot?
    I guess no one here has a yard full of projects for "later".......

    I'd have kept the 'Cuda too.....

    I know of 3 '68 Chargers rotting in a guys backyard......back @ 3 acres in thick brush/forrest....but he said he'd sell 'em. His son's abandoned projects...
    There's also a nice '67 Coronet, a pair of '57 Caddies, some '56 DeSotos, a Rivi, and some T-birds.
    I plan on getting the Chargers......

    How much for the Avanti, that looks good for a rust belt car.
     
  5. Some people just don't know how good they have it, I guess, but it's common that a lot of people just can't concieve of replacing or repairing the frame or major panels on a car.

    How the same people then build a Model A from the frame up, I don't understand, because it's all the same thing - there's a disconnect there that makes no sense - but that's just how it is.

    Most of those cars look pretty damned good from where I'm sitting. And the Avantis used a Stude Lark frame which was rot prone in the first place, but they (Larks) aren't exactly a rare car either - finding a good one should be a pretty simple matter.
