I will never be able to figure out the mentality of people that let good, classic cars sit and rot to the ground.
I currently know of a Corvette, looks like a bumper car from the road, that has been sitting under pine trees for years. The paint was white. What's left is now somewhere between white and pine bark brown. It's "not for sale."
Several years ago there was a '65 Corvette that also sat in a yard rotting near my home town. It had a "Not For Sale" sign on it and I was told the guy would go ballistic on anyone that dared ask him why he didn't sell... or IF he would sell it.
And just recently... At work we have a few gear heads that fix up old cars, etc. One of them was spouting off about some Detroit convertible he'd looked at that was under an open shed, full of rats and rust and rot. I told him that anyone that would let such a car - something akin to this possible Shelby here - sit and rot away should be horse whipped.
He jumped back on me telling me how smart the guy was for letting it sit and "accrue value" until he restored it.
Where does that line of thinking come from?
