Hate to do it but I have too
well almost two months since I got the notice from the City Police telling me that my 63 c-10 is an eyesore and must be removed or put into a storage. I have no room for it so I have had it up for sale for two months, dropping my price 100 bucks a month and now its time for it to go meet the Big Guy in the sky. Saturday Morning, I will be loading it up on a trailer and heading to the scrap yard. I have no choice. I have my 96 s-10alade sitting in the shop and this was going to be my next project but because of these stupid laws saying a vehicle that is not running and considered an eye sore by others must be removed or hidden from sight, It has to go. I can't see paying 110.00 a month for a storage unit to put a vehicle in knowing it won't be touced for almost a year. So I am gonna cut the dash out of it, put it in my s-10, remove anything I could part off or use later on the road and she is gone. I know my neighbors don;t complain about my projects cause I am always fixing stuff for them. I think it was the church next to me that complained about the loud music or noises coming from the shop when were in there working. Sorry for such the long post. I just need to vent about stupid laws and not being able to save a truck.

Re: Hate to do it but I have too
wish it was that simple. they already flagged me for it and giving me to the 20th to get rid of it. if not, i pay 500 dollar fine, they come tow it away and i pay towing cost. since closet scrap yard is hour away, i am looking at possibly up to 1000 dollars i would have to pay out of pocket. I would rather spend 80 bucks on gas and make money off of it than have to pay.

Re: Hate to do it but I have too
I would gladly hold it for you if it wasn't for the fact that you're over a thousand miles away...

Re: Hate to do it but I have too
How about building a fence around the truck and then it won't be in anyones sight. Make it tight so it hugs the truck.

Re: Hate to do it but I have too
Livingston Parish passed this stupid law like two years ago about abandoned vehicles saying if it was sitting in your yard and not running and considered an eyesore, it had to be removed or hidden. problem where i live is. Where its parked, you can see it from the front of my house. IT I move it behind the shop, Its visible from the highway. They really been cracking down on it ever since they started building the new school, library, advance auto, and the talks of Wal-mart building in our town.

Re: Hate to do it but I have too
I don't have the front clip to it as the person who I traded with took it off before sending it to me. I looked at the truck in PA, agreed to trade him my 90 Ranger for the 63. I than left PA for LA and he was suppose to load it up on a transport and get it to me. Transport Arrived and no front clip. he took it off before it was sent. Lowballed me. three of the 4 tires no longer hold air as one was leaking from the get go and someone needed the valve stems more than me. And the reason I was originally asking 600, cause that is what transport cost me. Last edited by Throwback; 10-14-2008 at 12:49 PM. |

Re: Hate to do it but I have too
Invite some of the kids from the new school over to brush paint it up like the studebaker in the Muppet Movie and it is instantly considered "ART". Put it out in the yard and say its a decorative flower planter.

Re: Hate to do it but I have too

Re: Hate to do it but I have too
Well if its an eyesore why can't you just put a car cover over it? I mean seeing it in those photos it does look well like it needs some love, but would they buy off putting a cover over it?

Re: Hate to do it but I have too
look into the cover thing... some places it is considered trespassing if they walk onto your property to look under the cover... and if it had tires that held air, then they couldn't tell from the curb if it was unoperable.

Is it tagged? If so, nothing they can say about it. If not, tag it.

Re: Hate to do it but I have too
Hope you're able to find some way of keeping it or at least someone on here decides to buy it and save it.
