Fri and Sat gust to 40 and steady 15-20.Today Mon. steady winds of 15-20 gust to 30. Hopefully pics I send will show. RIP Boston Firefighters

It is interesting how that car made it from Fort Worth, Texas to Mass. There are probably some guys down here in Texas that might like to have the dealer nameplate off the trunk. It doesn't look like you lost any usable parts.

Before last week looks like he might had a pretty usable back glass and right quarter window!

I'm surprised the enviro-wack-jobs in Nantucket let you keep abandoned cars on your property

I agree it doesn't look like many useable parts were lost.From the looks of it, it was in the same spot for a long time.

Luckily the main parts I want is the rare taillights and bumper. the lights have very little pitting and the bumper is straight and decent shape. I have 5 other parts cars and 2 coupes 1 conv I'm working on as nice daily/weekend cruser, not show cars, to expensive and hard to find parts. Actually I live on Cape Cod, I was stating previously the wind gust to 87 was on Nantucket.

The Cape isn't too bad. I worked in Mashpee for 5 years. I like the Cape but don't miss the traffic in the summer.

watch out for that tree

If u r familiar with the 65 Starfires the rear windows and rear quarter only fit 65-66 Starfires only because of the roofline. I sent pics of my other car.
