So a buddy of mine im's me out of the blue about an old car he has owned since 1976...said people were really bothering him about it, stored at his uncles house for years. It was a front end wreck and when he bought it back then it was considered not worth fixing.
I have been talking to him about this car for about 7 years now periodically asking him about it.
