FYI, I sent this link to a guy restoring a '61 Newport coupe, hopefully he can save this car. |

Where you located at?
The tag on the rollback with the demo car is Pennsylvania. If he were a little closer, I'd save it.
I seriously hope this guy sells the car and finds a Monte Carlo or something to trash.  |

I know times are tough, but there are people looking for good project cars. This may be the ticket for some of you.

Ditto.
It was extremely considerate and noble of you to give the restorers first whack (no pun intended.) Thanks, Matt.
For what it's worth, I've rescued a '59 Plymouth wagon, a '68 Imperial, several '59 Chevrolets and a '57 Chrysler. Granted, the '68 Imperial was a gift and I swapped a couple of Chevrolets for the Chrysler, but they are in addition to what I already have as running vehicles or cars I had and planned to get running again.

Location: Fredrikstad, Norway. (Europe) | Matt, if I wasn't on the other side of the Atlantic I'd allready be at your place to pick it up. I don't often get angry, but if none of those FL guys over there can't even pay 1500 bucks to save this car , I'll just have to say: Don't get angry or complain because so many of your beautyful Forward Look cars is "lost" to us people over here in Scandinavia/Europe. Just look at what Kerstin (a woman) in Germany is working on for a resto. You guys want to pick this beautyful car apart bit by bit instead of saving it. TERRIBLE! Sorry, just couldn't help myself this time.
By the way Matt, just in case I should "go nuts" again, would this car be rolling with a set of new tires? I am sure I could get rid of it over here for selfcost. Also, if you want me to, and someone could set up a direct link to this thread for me, I could advertice it on websites over here.
Einar.

rear areas? |

Location: Williams California | Sounds crazy, Neil, but the right side of the car is exposed to heavier amounts of dirt, road salt, etc. as its closer to the shoulder of the road. More debris is always found in the right side of the road that is kicked up into crevices and open areas.

Location: Parts Unknown | I thought cars with fins (any make) were illegal in demos unless they "ground off" or somehow removed them ? ? ? IF that is true then WOW that really hurts if someone demos a finned car after destroying it even more BEFORE they DESTROY it ?!?!?! |

| nah, finned cars are legal, but if i were to run it, i would roll the fins over the trunk, and than weld them to the trunk, that way, the leaf springs will be trying to bend the rear up, but with the added fin metal bent over that has to bend, it outta stay straight. |

Location: bishop, ca | Yikey, you're thinking about the Imperials; for a while (forever??) they were banned, because they were TOO tough
on the competition, what-with their full-frames, and weight..
John; I shoulda realized that, growing up in Toledo; of course, there, all the cars rusted-out, ALL-over !! LOLOL

| some places allow the imps to run, but the 67^ imperials are more likely to not be outlawed, the 64-66 where the tough ones. |

Location: Williams California | Hayfork California still allows all Imperials, as does the Police officers [law enforcement only] annual derby in Sacramento. All Imperials were allowed at Angel's Camp's derby until about eight years ago.
These are just the ones I am aware of in this area.
