About a year or so before he decided to move, I helped him Ebay a few of his old Kaiser/Frazers. Some of the other stuff was bought by relatives and friends, including me.
I wound up having to give my Cougar a new home via Ebay since I didn't have the resources and time to fool with it. It was also developing transmission problems sadly. The Cougar found a good home of a collector in Oklahoma. He had about 12 or so already. It was on Ebay for about 8 hours.
It hurt a little to see it go but I would rather it go somewhere to be tended to as opposed to it getting worse here and not being able to do much about it due to resources.
It’s good your uncle didn’t live near the ocean. If you do and you park a car anywhere for 2 or 3 decades, you’ll end up with a pile of rust ;)
