A sad sight

I was on ebay evibay as some of you call it looking for parts for my car when I found a sad pitiful sight http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1967-...5fPartsQ5fCars

I was disgusted by this neglected poor old car.they should at least be covered or sold if you don't want them this is just sad.

I just paid $400 for this. It's sad, but sometimes 40+ year olds drop dead prematurely

Sadder sights even come down harder at salvage yards. Some fairly decent cars just left there to sit, rust and fade away...what's even worse is seeing some of these old beauties stacked one on top of the other, getting ready to be crushed into scrap iron blocks. Unfortunately, salvage yards become a fact of life to benefit our older cars in use.

I have seen many stacked atop another.I have a junkyard vid on youtube that shows older cars and trucks (some olds in it) and they are just sitting.the owner told me he will sell anything that is prior to a title, that is 73 here not shure if it is the same throughout the states.

here is the vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy-LF...e=channel_page
