When I was younger, every summer I used to drive around with my grandpa from farm to farm checking out what kind of gems those old fogies had rotting away in their barns that we could (hopefully) buy off of them and fix up. Some never found the time to fix them up and were happy to see them go to a good home to be restored to their former glory while others were adamant that they were going to fix them up, even though it was obvious it hadn't even given them a second thought in years.
Those guys used to piss me off, not so much because we couldn't get the car from them but because it was obvious they hadn't touched the thing in 10+ years and would rather see them rot in their barn than fixed up by someone other than them. I always felt sad to know those cars weren't ever going to move from those spots, which wouldn't be half as bad if they still made them, but these things are classics and as time goes on, only become more and more scarce.

There is a storage place around here that has one of these sitting in the yard just rotting away. Such a sad thing to watch.
