    Looks quite nice. Thats a $2000 car around here, maybe even $2500.

    The 351W is a good place to start if youre going to build it up.

    We saw a lovely green first gen, top down, cruising along today. Perfect condition. The car was older than both of the guys in it. Combined.

    This doesn't get to me nearly as much as it would if it were a first gen. These beasts demonstrate that model bloat is not a new phenomenon.

    Oh, that poor, poor kitty cat. I saw a gorgeous '72 convertible at Cruise Night Thursday, it makes me sad to think it could have just as easily ended up here.

    Do people even try to sell their cars anymore? I mean, seriously, the previous owner could have put a $500 sign on it and made some quick cash... That thing is gorgeous. Isn't this the same lot that puts the cars up for cheap auction before their possible fate? I just don't understand how the forces of fate doomed a car like this... it is uncanny.

    @AlienProbe: Do you realize what it's like to see your car these days? If you live anywhere within 20 miles of an Urban area, it's a virtual nightmare.

    - You list the car on Craigslist for a certain amount of cash, and what do you get? An e-mail box full of spam, and offers that are around 20% of your asing price.

    - You put a For Sale sign on the car and park it in the driveway, and what do you get? All sorts of low life saying they want to take a ride, asking all sorts of questions, and then low-balls you, asking if you'll take some cash, and some other questionable stuff.

    - If you've had the car in your yard for some time, and never got around to fixing it, some municipalities actually fine you for having an unregistered car. (You see, if it's not registered, they can't collect property tax!) So, you have 10 days to dispose of it.

    - Forget about fixing up a beater if you live in an apartment complex. The ones around here have a no tolerance ordinance, and if a car doesn't move in 10 days, they tow it away for you.

    There are way too many reasons why people don't keep their cars, or have to get rid of them in a hurry. Unfortunately, this Cougar, and countless others have died, and can never be brought back to life.

    @UDMan: I guess I didn't really realize how hard it is because I live in a rural area. I am shielded from a lot of those scary things that go on outside Vermont...

    Excellent valid points!

    .... I'm still crying though.

    It's a shame, but I can still consider the person who junked this thing human, unlike that total jizz-gargling fuckmonger who junked the '67 to fix up his shitstang.

    Further proof that the amount of money a person has is often inversely proportionate to the amount of taste a person has.

    For the man who's already got a the Wolf T-shirt, we now have the Jaguar edition R8. And you thought the Wolf t-shirt was a panty dropper? Just wait until you exit this sexy beast WITH your wolf T-shirt on. Sexy RAWR!

    I want to paint the nose of my Vette like a P40 Tiger Shark. But we're talking about a $3500 car... And I'm sure the ladies will be just as impressed with it.

    Oh wait, that's $150000... He could paint it with dogs playing poker and he'd still get laid.
