It will. Apparently the son don't share the same sentiment as it has been sitting there for quite some time. My neighbor's Ford Expedition has been sitting there for 6 years.

Tanker1106 A split barn find in 20 years, he’s not gonna touch it. Interiors usually go anyway, sometimes if they are in average condition for a used car they are kept, but most of the time they are replaced, the car is not matching numbers so there’s no point in saving it’s engine. If it can be fixed, great, if it can’t, it’s no big deal. That car is waiting to be bought and restored, but Mike and Frank just don’t have the time or money to do it.

@stevepoulson5867 2 года назад

It's because they only made the split window for one year, after that, they switched back to a single window, because people couldn't see well out of it. That's why it's so desirable, not many out there.

That’s what’s so upsetting. I understand a lot of these guy collect cars, it’s their money, they can do what they please. I wish someone could explain to me why you would have such an amazing car and just let it sit. Share it with the world. Frank wanted to use it as a daily driver which would have been amazing. Take it out and show it off. In 40 years it will probably be in a barn roached out without 10 more miles on it.

Then sell it and use the proceeds to buy us both cars. We went and looked at the car parked in a garage. It had been sitting and was covered with junk and dust. All 4 wheels were locked up and it had been in a minor accident. But it was all there. As I recalled it was a 63 or 64. We ended up passing on it and of course years later they are worth big money.
