Just lovely.

CEO has factory 5 cobra at work today. Curious how they get a sticker with no front bumper, no windshield wipers and no license plate. Great looking car.

The shop that does my cars only requires a 12 pack of Sam Adams for each one. No handbrake? No problem.

Bob, that Bentley had no body damage. I'll try to get more pics of it today.

This little gem was parked out near a popular surf break on the west side of town.

Don’t know what it is Paul but, pretty sure it’s not the ‘88. The ‘88 has a longer nose and chrome taillight spears along the top of the rear fenders. Profile is very similar though.

I'd say that's a 1950 Chevy...my folks had one of those when I was a little kid. I remember seeing it in a bunch of old family photos.

Random paparazzi shot ↓ Early Ghia body on a later pan...not my car.

Looks like a ‘51 Chevy coupe to me.

[herr_oberst]

^ I think you're right about the year. It's definitely a Chevrolet, and a really nice, tasteful, but older restoration.

They junk cars out here that people in the rust belt would give their left nut for.

That 4-Runner does not belong in the scrapyard unless the whole drivers side is caved in.

The 4runner has no body damage. It may or may not have any mechanical issues. They place ads and people sell them vehicles that have been sitting in their driveways for a couple of years with dead batteries that they don't want anymore, all kinds of kooky reasons. Some people look at old cars as trash that needs to be taken out. They also buy cars at tow company auctions and insurance auctions. I recently sold them a 1977 MB 450 SLC that was a 20-footer with a slipped timing chain for $650, that was a favor for a friend, (not my car).

The Bentley also has no visible damage, those cars are absolutely worthless if not in mint condition. The scrap value on one is big, they weigh in at about 6k lbs. I called my buddy Charlie Agapiou, who has the biggest and best independent RR and Bentley shop in town to see if he wanted any parts from it and he said no. "Really? Nothing? I'll pull the parts for you if it's not something big."

He told me that he has a complete Arnage parts car and that he rarely pulls anything from it. We joked about the nature of auto parts, how they are valuable when you need them and absolutely worthless when you have them. I told him about the public storage unit I have full of parts that they are going to have to bury with me. We laughed. Still, it kills me to see all of these rust free body parts crushed.
