Oh yeah Ive heard that excuse a TON of times.
Awhile ago I was looking at a dodge (yeah yeah i know!) muscle car from the early 70's and called the guy about it. its been sitting in a field since I was a kid. The guy told me time and time again he is saving it for his own kid, which is now of age to drive and has no interest in fixing up a heap like that (his words, not mine haha)
Ah well

One kinda half assed neat thing he has done though, is he put a perkins diesel in an 86 ford 4x4 half ton one time.
He had that for awhile, then took that out and put a dodge 318 in his ford. What a shame.

Perkins, like most diesels back then were loud but not any where near as loud as the old Detroit Diesels especially the 6V53 series.

Back to the topic here.
The Horror Oh the Horror, It is too much to look at, the Horror.
Or Hi JR I'm your long lost nephew Jethro. Hyuk!, Com on Uncle lets have fun making like Dukes of Hazard.
The other is people save them thinking they will be worth something more someday.
Go to youtube and loom at Junkyard videos and there are soem real horror stories with cars parked in swamps and nearly overgrown moss and bush on them. They are just rusted hulks, but still lots of useable parts like trim and chrome and hubcaps.
