Old cars never die, they just rust away.

My uncle was very good about just parking them in barns and forgetting about them for 2 or 3 decades.

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.

“Old cars never die, they just rust away.”

- As long as love is true, miracles can be done.

A friend of mine has a passion for old American muscle cars.

His father was a very successful engineer, he inheritated
a lot of money and today he uses the intelligence his father passed on to him and the money to restore the splendor of past American car history.

American cars will never die.
