People who let rare cars rot.

I have a Mustang story too. The brother of a friend used to have a 65 Mustang 2+2 fastback, 289HP 4 speed car. Yup. It was worth a lot. Guy kept getting in trouble with the law. Got in trouble in the military and ended up in Leavenworth a short time. His dad took the car away from him, disabled it, put it up on blocks and let rot for 30 plus years. This was a grown man we're talkin about here. Just couldn't stay away from the drugs and thug life. His dad held out hope that one day they'd do a "father son" kinda restoration thing. It was "about" 2004 I think the dad finally saw it wasn't happenin when "his now" forty something son bashed in a lady's door with her home and stole her tv for drug money. That was the straw that broke the camel's back and he took the car to a local salvage yard his friend owns. Yup. He owns a crusher too. He sold the car for scrap and stood there and MADE SURE they crushed it. Gone. End of story. Although the floors were rotted pretty much gone, there was enough there to save the car. Still had the original drive train. But pappy wasn't happy and it came to an ugly end. They still don't speak to this day.
Yeah it is sad.
