Sad to see cars sit like that. In a thread from a few years ago I mentioned a 68 Vert that sat in a field that would come into view when all the vegetation died off for the winter months. I found the owner & it was being saved for a retirement project & not for sale. In fact the guy was quite tired of people asking about it. Then my Cousin walked over to it (trespassing) & told me the top was rotted & the floor had weeds coming though, but was a loaded up car with power options. A few years later their was some redevelopment going on in the area & the car was gone. I would think it became a parts car, but always made me sad to see it just sit year after year. Restorations are such a huge amount of work & usually outweigh a cars ability to just sit and age.

I hope something good happens with this one.
