Out standing in their field...unfortunately so shall they remain. If a guy wanted an instant headache and a hobby, these would be it. Though one has to wonder just how much the other worse off car is worth to the finished project. There doesn't seem like much sense to it. This might be a case where the wife told the owner, "It's either them or me"...
Well, these would have been $250 cars if that back when I was in high school. That's all they are now. Never going to be restored to a high level. If the guy would just sell them, at market value, then a young guy might be able to restore it and enjoy the car, taking kids to the ice cream shop. That sort of thing. But would be passed by a muscle car, and probably regret it.
