mr. fix it
Old Man with a Hat
It wasn't a C-Body but just as sad.
I went to the local metal recycling centre yesterday to drop off some scrap iron and happpened to look at the scrap cars people had dropped off.
Right on the end was a 1964 Thunderbird!
I asked about it and the manager had bought the car with the strict instructions to make sure it was crushed by the end of the day!
I asked to go at it and had a look see. Puzzled the heck out of me as to why someone would do this in this day of classic cars being so popular now in these parts.
I would have given it a 4/10 for restorability.
I suspect that the PO had sometype of extreme negative emotions tied to this car. Either themselves lost love of some type or could have been a deceased relative...
They had smashed all the gauges and what looked like kicked in the dash.
The seats were there and they had smashed the rear window after dropping the car off.
There was a short block under the hood with all accessories including A/C
All the chrome trim was thrown into the car as well.
Otherwise the car was solid..
A sad sight indeed
