These "Savers" never seem to figure Rust into the equation. When I lived in Jackson, NJ, I knew a guy like that. He had stashed away a 1964 Studebaker Avanti but what he didn't figure on was rust! Then I met a guy who was looking for the Avanti and I sent him over. It turned out Jackson's soil is your basic beach sand and the old Avanti just started settling in. By the time friend #2 got to look at it the frame was just about on the ground and the rust owned it. Friend #2 priced a new chassis for it, Somewhere in the neighbor hood of $4000.
