Default Sad 68

Here is a 68 my son and I tried to buy about 4 years ago. It was sitting behind an old auto repair shop. The old shop owner was storing it for his sister and it was just being kept outside.
The sister didnt want to sell it so I moved on to find my 69. I am so glad I didn't end up with this rusted machine. The interioris completely rotted out and the panels are sunburnt.

Notice the tree limb coming outbelow the bumper. Yes, It has been sitting since 1974
What a shame!

The shop was just torn down for modernbuildings.

What happened to the car? I've seen worse that have been brought back to life. It is possible, as seen in this forum before.
