mopars are still out in the weeds!
When i got my '68 Formula S fastback field find, the owner's son came to me with it because he wanted to trade for my '78 Formula S Firebird. Before that, the car had been sitting in a field in Missouri for over 20 years! It wasn't until I stared scrubbing the car down and got some pictures to post on this site that I was clued in this was a factory big block car!
At first, the car looked like it was completely trashed. When i got it and power washed it, I found that most of what covered the car was actually moss!
Here is what a car looks like that sits in a field in MO for 20 years after you scrub the moss off:
After sanding all the paint and bondo off, the only real rust problems on the car were the floor from the leaking windshield wiper pivot seals :angry7: and this little spot:
This is one car that was rescued from the weeds and is making a full and complete recovery! :cheers:
