That car needs a good home before it's just a pile of rust.

The guy with all the cars. Says he has a cabriolet in one of the barns. But there are probably six early V8 cars all in front. With fenders and parts piled up. And there is no way to see it. He said he bought all of them when he was in high school. Some were just given to him. His cousine has a ton of cars to. He has two pierce arrows. And a ton of other stuff.

c9eca2636242.jpg not an A ---but this is sitting inside the city limits of Tigard Ore. The gal that owns it says her grandfather parked it there and there it will stay. I've asked about it so much she told me she was going to file trespassing charges if I showed up at her doorstep again.

Well it's a shame the guy just lets all that stuff sit there and rot !!!

He could sell it all and buy a couple of really nice restored cars ready to go !!!

You would think that would be more fun than watching cars fall apart

We know what other people should do but don't know why we do things ourself.

There was a TV show about just that. A couple of guys would approach a hoarder. Talk him into the restoration of his #1 favorite car and sell off the rest to pay off the restoration. Any difference in the restoration and the stuff sold was the profit for the guys.
