waiting car

So I work at AutoZone here in Houston and we deliver to a few commercial accounts. I went to a local shop down the freeway and what do I see when walk in to deliver their alternator? A lime green 1970 Plymouth GTX. Just sitting there!

Me: Who's car is that?
Owner: Mine
Me:Interested in selling it?
Owner: Nope, I'll sell the shop before I sell the car.


Want to know it's condition? All panels seemed in good condition. Running big block, perfectly drivable automobile, JUST SITTING THERE!

Me: How long has it been sitting there?
Owner: I don't remember.

The thing has at least a quarter inch of dust on it. He said he turns in on once in a while but that's it.

ARGH!!! I'm not going to say it's a waste but damn, it should be driven and I think I'm the one that should drive it! Ha, ha
