I was looking at hurricane Ian pics on Washington Post that my dad sent me and saw this in Bonita Springs (my parents live in Naples). I am not a Mopar guy, but isn't a real one of these worth like $500,000? Even if you had a nice tribute one, you would probably not leave it to be subjected to a hurricane, right?

 

Clone or real that is a shame

 

Every gearhead on Instagram is crying over some a-hole who's Rolls and McLaren were swept out of his garage. There aren't that many electronics in a Superbird; it can be fixed.

 

The guy actually had 4 of them. Those two were lifted on top of 4 post lifts. He drove the two on the bottom away. The top two floated off the lifts according the story. The house was on the beach. He trusted the surge would not get to the top of the lift and lost the bet. Heck he should have called me. I would have rolled to his house and driven one of them away also.

Here is a pic of all 4 I saw. Maybe panicked at the last minute and drove the best two off. Bummer

 

No question it will be restored. Rust in the future is going to be an issue for these cars since they got a salt water bath.

 

I knew there had to be a story. Where did you see it? That is terrible.

 

Terrible? I've been hearing about this storm for 2 weeks. Any damage is self inflicted.

 

I'm a native Floridian and would not have taken that bet. Friends and I would've convoyed those to the Claremont Ridge.

 

I would not have taken that bet either. I have seen water lines of surge levels. 15+ ft. It can blow in fast and high. By the time you realize it’s coming in it’s too late to do anything but hunker down and pray. I have been stupid enough to do that before and listen to pine trees dropping like bombs around my house. Never again. Ian was a strong storm.
