Owner clearly knows its value. Me think he is waiting for the Garage Monkeys to turn up with their camcorder crew
No doubt! I am sure with a little elbow grease, a clay bar, polish and wax it will look great!

All the televised auctions out of Arizona in the coming weeks makes sure pretty much everyone thinks their car is worth big bucks. When I first moved to Arizona about 10 years ago I used to go to some of the big auctions just because you could see so many great cars and talk to their owners. Now it's become more about making money and less about the hobby. In one way its good as it drives the restoration of cars that may of otherwise disappeared but on the other hand the cars have become out of reach for many.

Oh absolutely Captain, can picture that real easy. You forgot the truck load of duct tape tho... to patch the inside of the engine of course.

Can't you spot those relics from up the sky in your 747 jet airplane? You might want to keep an eye open for these sort of things... you'd become rich in an instant I'm sure You have a pretty serious advantage over others for that you, no?
