People who let cars rot

[Miller Meteor Man]

Check this ebay link out....i dont understand why people will let a car rot into the ground instead of selling it to someone that will care for it.....does anyone agree?

i too have never understood this. lets hold on to something for 30 years not doing anything with it until its almost worthless then let it go for scrap?

i think if you've ever watched american pickers or hoarders, you'll understand. people want, lust, and covet things, and just won't let them go.

Bumper ends, and quarter glass. Some trim, and inside pieces. Not much left pf the ol gal.

So the sad realization set in that the owner really won't do anything with it. Not usually a fast process anyway!

At least this guy was realistic about value after all that time. Plenty of usable parts to assist another.

What I don't understand is not having 1 decent picture of entire vehicle out of 19.

I noticed that to. I guess he figured he would just zoom in on stuff because he new the car was only good for parts. strange tho.

I have a 61 fleetwood i am not driving it hasnt been on the road in a year but i keep it covered with two covers under a roof...i start it once a month and let it run for 15 mins while i go through the gears. im not going to sell it. suspension is really bad and im saving for the parts....whats so hard about not being lazy and just taking care of your stuff?

ryan_ricks hit the nail on the head, but forgot those who want to restore them too and just never get around to it or have the money to do so.

I understand what your saying , but if it wasn't for them we would not have the parts we need for our stuff. Like that corner glass he has there.

Still doesn't change the fact someone need to beat them parfusely about the head and shoulder for letting it rot.

I have a 58 3 way that is currently just sitting. Not for a lack of funds, just motivation. I got the car able to move around, put disc brakes on it and then just kind of lost steam on the project. It is kept indoors but there is every possibility that I may not touch the thing again so far as its restoration goes. I don't sell it because I don't have to and I'm pretty sure if I did, I wouldn't be able to find another like it. Besides that I don't want to chance anyone making it into an Ecto clone and I know if it is in my possession that isn't a possibility. Whenever I look at it I can only see the cool ride that it could be though. Part of the psychosis I think. I'm sure at some point over the next 20-50 years I'll have gradually switched over to just being a mean old man with several old cars rotting away but for now, those are my reasons for what I have and where I'm headed.
