A few months ago the house right across the street sold. To the horror of this rabid car enthusiast household, they are into building and destroying big old cars in a local demolition derby.
At first, it was just disdain on my part as they destroyed 80's or newer land yachts…a square body caprice… a late 90's Crown Vic…among others. Then this past weekend I saw their latest creation get taken to and from the track. A rather structurally nice looking Lincoln 2dr from the early 70's. I was aghast. Seeing its mangled body come back last night was heart wrenching.
Then, today, OMFG! They brought home a '69 Fury VIP to be stripped and reinforced. I know the car. It has been for sale for ages in Littlestown PA. Seller wanted a lot for it the last time I looked at it. And, it has a severe rust issue all the way around at the ankle line among other location. Still, a 2drHT with 383...and now it is in their backyard being gutted for destruction in a few weeks.
As much as I despise them for what they do...I really want to strike up a conversation so I can find out how to save all the parts they are removing.
