I'd do anything for those fenders and front apron. :(

Sigh, that messy garage looks like my messy garage. Retirement soon and then cleaning....

Haha, I'm hoping the owner sees this and gets motivated. It's been like this for years

I cleaned it up a few months ago and now I'm back to trails through my garage. This is what happens when you can afford to buy stuff. And you lug the crap from your old house with you and put it in the garage too.

I should post a picture of the roadster that is sitting on the stand all torn apart. It does however have the nicely dipped and phosphate coated frame sitting below it waiting for a bit of repair and clean up.

There's a difference, we're being nice to the car. As to the owner, like me, it is a time to get off your butt and do something! Soon I will get to it. Hope to have a rolling frame next Spring.

Outside Ludlow VT in a field next to a "restoration" shop. Sacrelidge.
I went and looked at this one today, because it looked like it could have been one that I owned in the early seventies. It was not the same one. The guy has dragged it out close to the road and has a sign on it asking for $2500. I looked it over pretty closely for probably twenty five minutes. If it were purchased for parts I expect that one could get something worthwhile out of it, but nowhere near $2500. The thermostat housing appears to be OK, but that was all that I could find.

This guy had 4 cars sitting in his field. To the very far left is one that has so much grass around it that I could just barely see a bit of the rear quarter.

Of the three I could look at, there were two 67.5 1600s and a 66. I couldn't see the fourth one, but he said it was a 66.
