    Damn straight!

    I'd probably take a shot at towing it out even with the chassis full of rattlesnakes.

    It'll take a lot of cash to restore it.. but that's a million plus dollars sitting there in pieces. I wonder what they stole it for?

    And did you guys watch the video of the owners 73' Indy crash?

    WOW!!!!!! looks like the right people have it now.You just never know what you might find, but I don't have that kind of luck.
    my luck is more like a door panal for a chevette and its got a big hole in it.

    Automotive holy grail type find right there. (y)

    Past several years I have managed to find a 64' Galaxie, a 72' Comet GT, and a 69' Buick Skylark in barns & fields across Kentucky.
    Unfortunately the owners were either not home and they vanished the next week, or said they sold it to a guy 20 years ago and waiting for him to return. :slap:

    I remember in Possum Trot there was this 70 Monte Carlo in awesome shape. Everyday I would drive by and once I stopped in and asked if it was for sale but they said it belonged to their son who they haven't seen in like 8 years. The car was there for years. It was gone one day though. Would have loved to have had that car!
