People who let rare cars rot.

I agree there is always another car to be found. I love the hunt. I will not buy any car unless I really want to own that car, but knowing I have never had a "forever keeper" either. So I have to buy that project at what that project is worth $ and cents. If and no doubt when I decide to let it go, I do not intend to be in the hole. I t can be hard to find a decent project priced fair.
I had a friend now deceased back in Mo. a lifelong Mopar and mainly a 65 Dart guy. He was a packrat for anything 65 Dart wise. He was an old guy (like me). He was single. I had bought a few Dart projects off him over some years at fair prices. They have anyways been cheap back there. He had a room in his little house, parts piled to the roof. He had restored 273 Dart hardtop and a 273 Dart Vert roller just a painted shell. He said he wanted to just sell everything, for $30,000. I told him I dobted if he would ever sell it all to anyone in one lump, and not for that $.. Best to sell the cars, and then sell off the parts however , and if someone wants all is parts in a lump, they would only give pennies on the if they were into the old parts business.
He passed away and his nephew that was always going over there and stealing what he needed for is stuff! That same worthless nephew,... got it all.
He died one morning, and the place was picked clean that afternoon!
