Car in the yard & “gonna do something with it”

Give us some real experiences, here's one of mine.
I was fortunate enough to buy a Panther Pink 4 speed 70 AAR Cuda new, things happened and i lost it. I went in the military and was stationed all over the place, as in no roots.
So I come back to Ga to see family while on leave, i hear about a Vitamin C AAR a few miles outta town, a trailer park, i finally find it, went there a few times with no response, left notes, phone numbers, no answer.
Whenever i came back on leave or transfer i would go and see about the car, finally i found someone home, the old "I'm gonna fix it up for my son", never saw it again, had parts piled up in the inside, what a waste, they only made 27XX of them. oh well.
Real experiences? Well, here's just a couple that pop in my mind. '69 Charger I found sitting. Son never returned from Vietnam. Not for sale. '71 340 Demon, going to fix it up someday when time permits. It hurts nothing to ask, or leave a number "just in case", but whatever the answer is a guy just has to walk away and not let it eat him up. Onward to tomorrow.
