What do you do when you see an old Mopar sitting outside???
« on: January 30, 2016 - 11:01:24 AM »
I have recently ( in the last year ) seen a 66 four door satellite pushed outside its old garage, probably for the garage space. It's a four door so not desirable but it looks so clean and original!  I don't have any more space in my 5 car garage. I just feel so sorry for it, like a stray puppy. You know it's going to rot out there. It's just sad, too nice, but not nice enough to be protected.  :(

I turn around a take a picture. 

Then after it eats at me for a while I stop by and ask if it's for sale.  Or what the story is for the old ride. 

Doesn't mean I have to purchase it.  But I have to consider it.

I always consider buying it and bring it home. It's almost good I don't come across them very often because I just don't have the room!   :pullinghair:

These days I try to stare straight ahead and add up all the bills I have for one of the Challengers.

Why shouldn't they sit outside? Do they melt?  I know of lots of Mopars sitting outside, don't know of any that have melted yet...

I stopped last week and asked about a 72 Charger that's sitting outside, met the owner(nice guy)and though he wasn't selling he knows who I am and that I have interest in the car.
Never hurts to ask

           Like a sad puppy.   :walkaway:   Doesn't have to be Mopar for me, any classic. Any time I see one I do everything I can to get info, find out if it can be saved. I always see these cars as, wow, this was once a new car, and somebody was so proud to buy it new, show it off, and really enjoy it. And make the monthly paynents.   :scared:  And they slowly went from a jewel to a burden.  And life got in the way, and they got put on the side. The either only lasts so long.

I go home and research the hell out of it.  Spend way to much time on the computer and then if I have interest go pay too much for it even though I don't have the space.

Then I say to myself....what did I just do....

It's an addiction.  Is there a class for this or some form of rehab?  Maybe a pill.
