Hey Kevin, Don't feel bad -- you are not the only person who runs across people who just won't let go of cars they are not using. I can't even count the number of times I've inquired about Imperials, only to be told that the car is not for sale. One gentleman politely informed me that he was "restoring" an Imperial that was in his back yard rusting under some rotted tarps. No matter what I said, his response was, "I'm restoring it." The car had obviously been there a LONG time. Of course, he also had a '20-something Ford under a shed that was sitting on the axles, which he was also "restoring." I guess some people have a strange definition of "restoring." I've seen many similar situations over the years. One friend of mine owns more cars than he could even count, yet he almost never sells one. And when he does, he wants what the car was worth when he parked it in good condition ten years ago, not what it's worth now after ten years of exposure to the elements. People can be pretty frustrating sometimes. :o) So can Imperials, but Imperials are MUCH easier to fix than most people. Happy Motoring!
