They only one id actually want is the volvo, the jensen would be cool too if it wasnt too far gone though.
Considering how much visible rust there is on the Jensen and the 2002, I'd be afraid to look underneath them...the Monte Carlo looks decent, but the missing trim on the rear window (plus evidence it used to have a vinyl roof ) would indicate rust in the glass channel, which means rust in the trunk floor.
Why oh why can't people throw a tarp or cheapy car cover over their vehicles if they are going to leave them out in the weather? I know covers have their drawbacks but it's still better than nothing. Geeeez.
I could really go for that Volvo.
That Jensen is hot! I think it looks that way because it's dropped 4" with the flat tires... so once it's fixed up I probably wouldn't like it as much without some lowering action
Did you notice the Volvo has a sticker that says "Volvo Racing?" Surely that sticker makes it go faster. I was joking with the manager of this facility a couple weeks ago about how some of these folks have paid for these cars many times over in storage fees only to let them sit and rot away. Obviously some of these cars haven't moved in years. What a waste. This facility is in Wilder Kentucky, right off I275.
If they were all in good condition, I'd take the Jensen fo sho. As it stands, that Skylark look to be the best one to deal with as is. I don't know why I like those cars but I do, but only in that flavor of Buick.
Bummer - there's a Public Storage near me that my dad still has a locker at. When he had an outside lockup there, there was a 1972 Cutlass Supreme across the aisle from it. It was a little rough, but could be brought back. In the several years I saw it though, it hit the point where it was too far gone for anyone but the most dedicated to rebuild it. Its one of the reasons I won't take on any more projects than I can store inside my garage. I'd hate to be one of those guys who let the elements destroy what could have been something cool.
That Jensen would make baby jesus cry. Why oh why wasn't that stellar example of custom British coachwork taken better care of?
Did a film crew stop by to shoot "Life After People?" If you're just gonna let a classic rot, sell it to someone who cares!
242GT There's a flashback. I had a 79 (new) for a year and a half before I had to sell it. What a sweet ride.
I don't know why you guys keep calling that orange car a Jensen. That's one of those new Porsche Panamera thingies.
Here's the Jensen of the President (For Life) of our car club:
Chrysler 440 in there, and he fits (he's like 6'7' or there abouts).
