And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
'56 Mercury, I think. The chrome is still good, I'll bet the frame and floor pan are now just rust stains in the soil. The 5 window Chevy pickup behind it might be worth a look. Al_in_Ottawa
That car is on a full frame, so the floor boards are probably okay. The frame on the other hand may be in bad shape. The bumpers aren't on the ground, so maybe not. If it is hard rocky ground it may not have sunk too far.
That just LOOKS like a body. I suspect a good sneeze would scatter it pretty far. The moss may be the only thing holding it together. The door hinges rotted off, for starters.
Nah, it'll buff out.

DeleteLooks like a great place for a body dump.
ReplyDeleteAnd to think that all those vehicles were, at one time, someone's pride and joy. Time waits for no car, eh?
ReplyDeleteRickvid, time waits for nothing but the earth and the mountains. (Old Indian saying)
DeleteNot restorable. Parts car. Sell it right and be patient, maybe 5 grand or more.
ReplyDeleteThese days all they need is a VIN tag.
