[generaljmwlee]

we all know of some car sitting in one place rotting and people wanting to buy it with the famous answer "I AM GOING TO RESTORE IT SOMEDAY"How about a forum it so we can see some of the pics and talk about our failures to buy those cars sentenced to die.

I know of a 1971 Hemi 'Cuda, Hard Top, 4 speed, 1 of 107 Hemi Cuda's built, 1 of 59 with the 4 speed, The car is B5 Blue/Blue interior with Black Shaker, rear spoiler,rear window louvers, and Black Billboard stripes. The Owner WILL NOT SELL ! I have tried for many years,The car sat outside for years before being drug inside of a old chicken house, The current owner bought the car in 73, drove it till 80, then parked it, it's another car me and my Dad was after, I used to get "I will restore it some day" then started getting "I will restore it for my Son some day", well the Son when to college and has a Son of his own, and could give a **** less about the Cuda, now I get 'I am going to restore it for my Grand Son" ,Who probably won't give a **** about it either, .......This man WILL DIE WITH THIS CAR WASTING AWAY ! :sad: ....and Yes, I have made some very, very nice cash in hand offers for this car, he still won't budge.

Those are the cars that someone else buys a week after you were turned down. Randy

Those 300 frame rails are easy to fix, just cut 'em out, and replace 'em with some donor C stuff, or make some B stuff work! Hell, I have C body rails in GREAT Shape, that are extra stuff in my stash!

I'm going to stay after it, maybe it will come loose some day, I really believe He will die with it, and then maybe the Family will let it go, the more time passes the hard the restoration will be, I have became somewhat a friend to the family, I am the only one I know of who is pursuing the car, It is way out in the country, well hidden, and forgoten about by most. Wish Me Luck !

Interesting topic. I like it. But with people posting responses with pics I figured I ought to move it in here
