I’d rock this very 80s short bed all day long. Crappy though the windshield, in the rain photo, but still sexy.

A great DD square look and even upgraded to da’ eight-lug stuff - I miss the late 70’s & 80’s look…

North Portland always has some neat rides tucked around the side streets.
This thang is just been wasting away for years and years…
It looked a lot better when it first was parked there - just sad.

Saw this old timer at the grocery store today. 
These two are going to rot into the ground. They've been there for the 18 yrs I've been in this area and a guy at work said the owner says they will never be sold. Sad.
In the late 90’s I worked at a performance speed shop and about two miles from the shop there was a 1968 R-code 428 SCJ Mustang sitting on the side of an old house for so long ( wheels had been removed on the rear with no jack stands ) that the car was at ground level and rotting away.
The house they were living in wasn’t worth what that car would have sold for yet they would never sell…
One day the house was condemned and eventually demolished and the car was hauled off by the county to be scrapped - I just hope someone at the scrapyard recognized what it was and saved it from the crusher.
Just don’t understand why people let valuable cars rot away out in the elements like that while knowing that they won’t be able to revive them.
That shit sucks. Farmers are also good for letting stuff rot and not selling it because some day they might need it. Scrappers bother me too, the ones that don't see any value in anything other than what the scrap price of it is.
"It was my Papaxs car and I can not let go of it".
So let's get it back on the road.
"I couldn't drive it. I would be too sad".
As the car rots into the ground.

My experience has been, "oh my grandson wants to build that some day".
There's a mach 1, looks like a 69, sitting in a carport in Whaleyville, VA. I first saw it in 1985. It has not moved since. The last time I went that way was after 2010 when Dad died.
I stopped to ask about it, I gas just curious more than anything. The door was open, the t.v. was on, but they wouldn't answer the door.
I walked to a Cafe across the street to see if anyone knew the story.
The young lady explained it belonged to the man's brother
He was killed in Vietnam just after buying it.
Said he will never sell it. Shame really, it'd be a much better testament to his brother than just rotting away.

There was a 1970 DAYTONA that sat 20’ from the side of a busy highway throughout the 70’s & 80’s and the story was the “my son’s car and they lost him in Vietnam” .
Folks from all around tried to buy the car for years - it was even mentioned in one of the car magazines in a story about Daytona’s & Super birds that were found but could not be bought - in Pensacola, FL off of HWY. 98 near Perdido Bay ( locally known as Lillian Hwy ) if anyone ever runs across the article.
At some point in the early 90’s it was gone - no clue of its whereabouts or what motor it ever had in it. All I know is that it was a 4-spd and Dana 60 axle and it was bright damn yellow with a white stripe.
I’m assuming that the parents must have past away at that point because they never entertained letting it go.
The car still looked in decent shape other than the sun whoop’n its butt for all those years.
The mustang was right on hiway 13, a major backroad thoroughfare.
It might be 4 lane now for all I know

This feller has been living next to the railroad tracks for at least the last 2 years. Never seen his rig move though.
Ol boy got the old Hiroshima hair dryer with a hood stack now.
