As exciting as it is to see this machine, it's equally heartbreaking. It's been completely forgotten about, left in the back corner of a junkyard located near the thumb of Michigan. Auto Archeologist, YouTubeWe're not given an in-depth look at the car, but we see enough to know what the potential is here. It appears to be fairly complete. All of the glass is present, and the engine and transmission are in place. It also seems to have a lot of the chrome and trim, which would save a lot of hassle should anyone try to restore it, which the Auto Archeologist says may be possible. That doesn't mean saving this car would be easy. It's sitting on the bare ground in the Rust Belt. Most of the body has been destroyed by the elements. Putting it back together would entail a ton of sheet metal work, which isn't for the faint of heart. You Can Save It Mecum AuctionsA job that's hard isn't impossible.
