Local Legend: 1969 Roadrunner Barn Find!

I hate it people refuse to sell cars that just sit and rot.

[frankjones]

Proud to say it's been siting since 88.
He even acknowledged the plow truck slings salt on it all winter rusting the front off it.
Crying shame!

[yearssober]

He enjoys the attention he gets. Without it no one would have anything to do with him.

[rodmacd]

Dude is waiting to hit on his weekly scratch off purchases to restore it. In other words its going to rust into the ground right where it sits.

[josephb.]

Hate people that can’t just let these things go so someone else can make it new again and actually enjoy it

[kingofwolves]

The guy was literally offered a free restoration in return for the car to be occasionally driven by someone else...instead he chose to let it rot and be driven by no one as the salt from the plow rusts it away...just sad too many people like this that believe they'll do something with these cars when in reality they never do and end up just letting them get destroyed...pathetic

[seanpainter]

Why are people keep cars like this and just let them freaking ride stupid

[keithcieplinski]

Who cares if it has the original engine if you're letting it rot?

[LedMcgregor]

Turn it around so snowplow can throw snow and salt on the rear too...that way it can rust out more evenly....😮

[kennithchapman]

This is sad. He'll never do anything with it. When he's gone it will go to the junkyard because he's too stubborn to sell it.

[lobodawg]

" nah, it's not for sale . I'm going to... Blah blah blah. " As it rots into the ground.

[xxkingslayemxxgamer]

Either fix it or sell it to someone that will fix it and enjoy it

[mzaccagnini]

So sad to see such a beautiful car just rotting away!😊

I KNEW A GUY WITH A 58 RETRACTABLE SITTING IN HIS YARD, EVERY SO OFTEN I WOULD STOP IN AND TRY TO BUY IT FROM HIM. ONE DAY I STOPPED BUY AND IT WAS FLAT AS A PANCAKE. A HUGE EVERGREEN BLEW OVER IN THE WIND

[nofortunatesonII]

That rusty POS would have been a parts car back in my early driving days.

[hessiangardner]

That car will rot because that owner is to broke and inbreb to fix it

[tinytattoomike]

Unscrew the radiator cap and screw on a new roadrunner

[inspiration]

enraging to watch. Idiot just letting it rot for what? He's too broke, and stupid to do anything, so not selling it and letting it decay is his solution??

[kobja]

I've had a million proposals and I just want it to sit and rot

[dr.detroit]

I've seen this many times over the years. The owners are never going to do anything with these cars, and yet let them sit exposed to the elements to rot, refusing any offers to sell. There's a '66 Mercury Comet near me that's been sitting outside in the driveway at the street for as long as I can remember. Getting more deteriorated and ratty looking by the day. Owner won't sell, says he's going to restore it with his son. When!? Should be a crime. A few other cars in the past that were finally towed off: A '75 bright yellow Chevy caprice 350 engine, bright yellow vinyl interior, looked like new when it was parked. Sat many years, brakes locked up and inside full of mold. Finally towed off after people moved. A '66 Pontiac Lemans with the OHC Sprint 6, parked in the lot of a business at an intersection. A vehicle lost control, went off the road and smashed into the rear of it, pushing it into the light pole in front of it. Totaled. Eventually owed away. A half dozen 60's Jaguar XKE's sitting in a backyard and driveway of a house for many years, finally old man died and all disappeared at once.
