Yes, I wondered the same thing. If they merely trespassed and yank the car and parts, they could end up in very hot water if a legal claimant to the property, hence the car, shows up. Jail time might be in order.

That would seem like one of those "finds of a lifetime" - excellent. Would also love to see more detail pics when time allows. It's the stuff you only read about in books.

Post by: TomP on January 29, 2022, 06:08:42 PM: Wow. amazing. And besides the parts and 3 Mustangs , even the Grand National, F350 and the boat are worth lots. I am curious who owned it and where he went? If vandals broke in how is all that stuff still laying upstairs? Unless non human vandals? And this comment on the link... "Paul MasonJan 22

Could be the owner was drafted and killed in Nam and the fam just left it where it was as to not remind or they chose to have a keepsake of their son. I knew of a gentleman in Pennsylvania that lost his son there and kept of all things his son's Mustang as his keep sake. Kept it covered in the garage and never drove it and it looked brand new......" Ummm , yeah, and bought a acouple late 80's vehicles before 'Nam....
