Many years ago, my brother and I tried to by a '65 Mustang fastback. It was sitting in the weeds and blackberry bushes rusting away. Asked the guy if he wanted to sell it and he said he was going to restore it someday and since he was a "body man," he wasn't worried about rust. Well, I think it finally got past the point of no return and it was hauled off for junk. It worked out for the best, we bought a '68 Charger for $150, painted it and put some fake Craigars on it, and sold it two months later for $2500.
