    Ever forget you owned a car?

    This guy did
    He had this and a i think a 73 firebird both stashed in a garage since 87, we pulled this one out and got it running for him. The roofs gone on the garage you can see through it everywhere. He literally forgot about the garage and it went to pieces. just over 2000 original miles on both, both cars are original EVERYTHING and both the same color. They were sitting in about a half an inch of water, this one is absolutely perfect. The other is going to need some body work now...... The quarters by the rear windows on it took it hard.
