Reply to "Fixer upper"

About 25 years ago I got a lead on a theft recovery car that was going to auction on Long Island.

It was thought that if they could get $500 for it, that would be a lot since few would know about it to begin with.

When I got there, it was in the impound lot and this car had been sitting in about 12 inches of mud on flat tires for a couple of years.

It was questionable if it was moved if the bottom of the car would fall off or stay.

Cut to the chase. There were about 1,000 people there waiting to bid on this car and the hammer price was $7,500.

The point is, there were more than a few Panteras that were somehow recovered just like this, for the expected $500 and just additionally ignored by uncaring people in the future.

The nature of "special cars" is that they rarely get crushed and sold for scrap. Many return like this in an attempt to save them.

A few years ago there were TWO Mangustas that showed up like this. One with trees growing through it in the woods?

So to those who seriously want to try, God bless but Superman is only a fictitious character.

Is it a Good Samaritan or just a narcissist with an ego bigger then Drump who attempts it? Big hands, you know?
