I can't even imagine having a quarter million dollar yard ornament that I do nothing with.
Fp edit: You know exactly what these are for ;-)

Neighbor has 1955 Plymouth Fury parked in front of his house. Uncovered for years. Won't sell it. 1970 Chevelle, too. Chickens live in it.
Dionysus187
Its my property and I want to keep it.
drGrafenberg
Well, I'm no fan of cars of the era, given the lack of everything but presence, but damn, the Daytona is a fine bit of kit.

There's a special ring in hell for those who refuse to let other people take over for their own laziness

research the concept of "Nam Shrine" and you might just be able to comprehend why. People can do what they want with their stuff.

DBH, my dad had a similar situation. His old muscle car was rusting in a family barn before he had any children. He fixed it 20+ years later
Crackheadpirate
If the guy who owns this car is married he has to listen to his wife at least once a week tell him to get rid of that thing.
iliketotellabsurdconspiracies
Truth. I have a g35 I’ve been working on...wife, “give it away.” Me: I have 4500 into it, wife, “get rid of it.” I love her though, so meh

My ex and I had/have 3 300zxs just.. sitting. One kinda runs. It was more of a "jesus fix it already" type fight
Cole2999
Sell me one lol
romicra88
I know of a guy that's letting over 15 cars from the 60s sit and rot. It's idiotic of him and he's just letting them be ruined
Dryview89
I've known many stories like that, some people just can't let go.
Walfas
This is my uncle. He has 3 Mustangs and 2 Corvettes from like 15 years ago that he's going to 'fix up'. They're all beyond help now.
FiveStarMojo
That kind of thing always killed me with hoarders while watching American Pickers.
curmudgeon91
I wish I had a picture of the stingray I saw at a hoarder house I volunteered to catch cats at. The motor was seized, but it was in >
curmudgeon91
>beautiful condition otherwise. The paint, glass and interior were pristine, which was bizarre, because everything else was trashed.

Neighbor had a hemi roadrunner. Saw a for sale sign in it. Asked about it. He had taken the hemi out and put it in a boat and blew it up.

Ouch...
PrincessDaystar
In my town theres a elcamino thats sat in the same place since my mom was 13, So at least 30yr I offered the owner 3k cash and got told no.+
PrincessDaystar
Like..whats the point of keeping something? The owner never intends to sell either.
Thundrmonkey
Agreed. There’s a 58’ Vette chained to a tree near my dads house and the guy won’t sell it. Been there prob 20 years.
mangrovia
Neglecting a car is just as bad as wrecking it.
WillemHellfire
The owner should consider selling. Judging by the looks of it, it's going to take a lot of cheddar to restore it. Hope the #s match.

NotDavidBowie
I can’t imagine spending more on a car than a house and a car
Somanyquestions
For a lot of people, cars are either hobbies or a status symbol. Not for me, I just like getting from place to place cheaply and efficiently
NotDavidBowie
Right, I’m fine driving my 96 Sonoma... sounds like a diesel but never leaves me stranded... plus the dogs like it :)
BeesechurgerProductions
03 Buick Century here. Wipers go out of sync when they freeze over and I've spent more on lights than the car, but it works and works well.
NotDavidBowie
Then century’s are good cars, if you care for em
Yesiwannaseethem
You'd be surprised. I almost pulled the trigger on a Viper GTS last year.
NotDavidBowie
Yeah I guess, what’s crazy to me might be the norm to others. They wouldn’t make ‘em if they didn’t sell I reckon
Yesiwannaseethem
These cars didn't sell back in the day which is crazy. And now they're worth BIG money.
Targe0
And that would be why I would buy it, polish it up some and then sell on for grater profit. Sadly don't have money or skill for that.
AMRDT
Men are thinking: "WTF ?!? Some people are not seeing a long-time investment even when it's rotting in their frontyard and sell it instead."

With only 500 of them made I wouldn't sell the rust.

When I was young, saw a house with one sitting in the garage piled with junk. We asked to buy it, he said it had more friends than him.
Pseudosim
Same situation twice over with me. First was a Nova, second was a Bronco... although i also fucked up and didn't buy a cherry bronco for 8k.
iheartcheese
What year Nova? I had a 70.
Pseudosim
69 I want to say? I rode by it every day on my way to highschool. Much regret.
iheartcheese
What happened to it?
Pseudosim
I believe the old man who lived there died and his kids sold it when cleaning up the house for sale. It needed work some body work, but stil
Yesiwannaseethem
Is that car still there? I have this stuff called money LoL
iheartcheese
Maybe, this was probably 15 years ago though.
iheartcheese
I would be interested, but I ended up buying a 68 Camaro. I know not as cool, but it’s in my budget.
BrickSniper33
Even with the car’s white trash-y reputation I still vastly prefer the 60’s pony cars over these later models.

Seems like a waste, should have sold it for the lowball price to get some Parkinson's medication, if the vid is any indication.
tiderfish
That’s terrible. What an entitled prick
Silversammy
dodge charger daytona!!!!! Love that car
orionface
Hey it's my dad with the old car in the garage and the other car that's rotting into our driveway.
Yesiwannaseethem
What's he got? I have this stuff called $
Odmanra
People who say they are gonna fix it up but then let's it sit for years don't deserve it!!
notyourusualsaturdaynight
There’s a story behind that car. It deserves to be brought back to life
Pokegeologist
Reminds me of my dad's '68 Pontiac Firebird. Aunt bullied him into giving it over to my cousin when he graduated high school.
Pokegeologist
Last we saw it, it was sitting on my uncle's back lot with the hood up and a prickly pear growing out of the engine block in '96.
MAXRR
There's a story behind my IKEA cupboard..
ImHereForExplicitContent
Is it the instructions you lost while building the Ikea cupboard?
elhopaness
Long story short, now it has holes for speed.
SchizophrenicEuphoria
Sure you aren't talking about an old Honda?
Crackheadpirate
Every hoarder has a story.
Yesiwannaseethem
Yep! A friend of mine knows the owner of that car and it literally sits in that exact spot year after year after year
ElbowDeep
Sometimes I do support theft, this is one of those times.
notyourusualsaturdaynight
If you can’t maintain it, let it go to someone who will. We are all just a temporary caretaker for our classic cars
Yesiwannaseethem
Especially big block rare cars like that one! Good god. Sell it, take the $ and go.
TheManWithTheVan
He probably just likes looking at it. And having people be envious. If you want it, keep throwing money at him.
ifrybaconnaked
This. The owner will cave eventually.
1mshadowbanned
Im sure this hits way too close to home for a lot of people
DisgruntledFerret
It only hits way too close to home because they don't drive it.

Had a 79 xs650 in the garage for almost 4 years, who knows for the PO (5k original miles), finally got it road legal this week

i bought a 89 200sx that was standing around rotting like that and started fixing it immediately, it costs a lot of money time and sweat
BronzeOnion
Me and my supra project will hear non of this.
Nuggettt
Ye, but the car isnt too old, but my dad has become attached to it cus hes been through so much shit with it
Nuggettt
But the part to fix it is like 3k and we dont have that laying around so oof
misterfick
Yup. '72 Triumph Spitfire unibody for me. Guy has 10-15 of them in his yard...wont sell a part...
ProfessorVanDiggenSagg
If he has that many, maybe he want to restore some of them & maybe you help him out & keep what you kill, as it is custom among necromonger?

Raises hand while thinking of my old Chevy in the garage.

My brother in law left his honda civic in his mom's garage with the engine on the floor next to it for over 10 years. He got cranky every 1/
strideo
his mom asked if she could tow it away insisting he was gonna fix it. Finally after having kids he accepted the fact that he wasn't. 2/2
ElviraQueenOfDarkness
My dad's '89 firebird layed in the yard rusting for 15 years. After my parents divorced mom had it squishd and dumped.
ProfessorVanDiggenSagg
What a shame. I mean, she sure felt better afterwards, needing to vent, to realign life and all that, which is really good. But what a shame
ElviraQueenOfDarkness
Had a little to do with revenge. Aka my dad buying a brand new firebird with a lottery win instead of doing something with his family. 1/2
ElviraQueenOfDarkness
But was more because she told him to sell it for years, called him and told him she would get it destroyed so for him to come pick it up.
ElviraQueenOfDarkness
He thought it was a bluf. A week later *squish*
HotshotRobot
My '73 Porsche 914 is rotting away in the yard as we speak. But I could fix it, I swear! I just need money, time, knowledge, and motivation.
