RNR1957NYer Posted June 28, 2019 Report Posted June 28, 2019 Look what I found by the side of the road yesterday! No "for sale"sign, but it is in front of a used car/parts yard (Tosy's Mustang Farm on Route 1A in Wrentham MA). Bad rockers and sills, but a recent inspection sticker and a serviceable interior that doesn't look like the site of a raccoon fight! I'd fix the rockers and sills and drive it as is! Feel free to add your own "Roadside Attractions" to this topic... 1 Quote

John Reddie Posted June 28, 2019 Report Posted June 28, 2019 Hopefully the frame and body mounts aren't rusted out badly. I believe that some P15's that were worse than this have been saved. Nice find and right here in MA too. Thanks for posting it.. John R Quote

I HOPE to have the body off the chassis this coming winter to start the patch panel/repaint job. Quote

RNR1957NYer Posted July 2, 2019 Author Report Posted July 2, 2019 No, I posted the photos as a "public service"......there are those (ie my wife) who say I already have too many cars. Quote

DonaldSmith Posted July 3, 2019 Report Posted July 3, 2019 The car has a crooked smile. The bumper is bent, and the left fender is higher than the right. Quote

If Momma's not happy, ain't nobody happy. Happy wife, happy life. But you know you want it!! If you get divorced over one more car, it was probably coming anyway. Just my two nickels worth and like the money, it ain't worth much. As I live in Canada, I can't give you my two cents worth as we got rid of those worthless coins over five years ago. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 3, 2019 Report Posted July 3, 2019 get rid of pennies...I assure you no one out there in taxable sales will ever round down... Quote
Silverdome Posted July 3, 2019 Report Posted July 3, 2019 Please send me ten million pennies. I promise I won't turn them down. Quote

Actually they do with cash. Debit or credit cards charge the exact amount. Pennies cost more to make than their face value and are just pocket stuffers. We also do not have $1 and $2 bills. Both were replaced a long time ago with coins which I much prefer. Edited July 4, 2019 by RobertKB Quote
dpollo Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 unlike Robert, I miss our pennies and one and two dollar bills but I am hearkening back to the days when the currency was worth more. A 20 cent beer when I need one , penny parking meters and when $2 would buy at least half a tank of gas. Alas, gone like our youth too soon. 1 Quote

How true, and we picked up cars for $40 and $50 and drove them with pleasure. Different times for sure.? John R 1 Quote
