Went to visit my mom in Reno over Easter. A guy next door to her has had a 65 convertible in his back yard rotting in the elements for quite a few years now. Several years ago I first approached him about it, and the answer was "sentimental value ... not for sale ... gonna fix it up some day ... yadayadayada". I've asked again several times during visits, same story. Well, this last weekend, he approached me!! Said he wants to sell it now, needs the bucks. Before we even talked price, I took a thorough look at it. Floor pans completely gone, torque boxes and frame connectors toast, can fit my fist through the cowl vent holes, fenders, 1/4 panels, doors rusted through etc. No way I'm touching it at ANY price. He got all pissed off at me for not buying. I got all pissed off at him for not selling when the car was still restorable.
Bums me out. I'd KILL for a restorable 65 convertible, and here's one right next door to Mom that some doofus let rot to nothing! Oh well, the search continues ...
