That stuff makes a car lovers heart pound. We lose our good sense and we fail to realize how much money and work it's going to take to bring it to a driveable shape. I have done 2 that looked worse than that coupe. I never want to go that far again. My 36 Avatar was just like that only the cowl was not connected to the body and there was no floor and the frame was rusted through and the engine was worthless. I even had to take a sledgehammer to the gears in the transmission to get it to move forward onto the trailer. Not going there again, but I understand the heart flutters when we see something like that.

A long chain a flatbed and a four wheel drive would get out!

Getting them out wont be a problem. You can drive right up to them. I have a skid steer if there are any problems.
