Anybody near there?
 
Umm, I think that is on the edge of the foothills. About an hour away from Lexington. My wife used to go near there on her sales route, but not anymore. It's pretty well "removed."
 
Any large bodies of water around it? Or has it recently flooded?
 
What kind of new weird project have you found Tony?
 
Let's wait until I find out wether or not my suspicions are real....I think its been under water...owner just says "surface rust"
 
on every surface - including internal ones? That'd be scary!
 
Pretty much every surface, Kenny
 
Sounds like a parts car to me - sortof... Any good parts on it? If'n the price is right (I'm feeling like Bob Barker now), for the parts, the time to go get it, the labor to remove 'em, the towtruck to haul the shell off to the shredders, etc. Then go fer it. Flooding can happen in a small 5ft wide creek/stream. Ain't gotta have any lake or river to get flooding. Last flood I was in involved a 2 foot wide storm channel here in tuscaloosa 'bout 15 years ago. Yard wasn't right for years after that.
 
Maybe he meant, "There was some rust, when we pulled it to the surface."
That way, he would not be lying, right?

...but here's the photo that bothers me:

The leather appears coated with dirt or mud & you can't see through the back glass...
 
I don't think it has been underwater, but it certainly is more than surface rust. I tried to buy an MGA coupe about three years ago from one of my father's neighbors. It was pretty solid. Unfortunately, he died of cancer. His son now has the car, but won't sell it. It is sitting in an old barn rusting away. In 10 years it will probably look like the one you have pictured. I haven't been by there this year yet. I guess it is about time to pay my annual visit and try to buy it again. Maybe he'll be in a spring cleaning mood.
 
And BTW, I told you it was in the "hills and hollers".
 
Looks like pine polen and mildue to me maybe.
 
One of our checkpoints in the Abingdon Trials endurance rallye a couple of years ago was "Evanston, KY".

Literally nothing there except an abandoned Railroad Crossing. Met a very nice constable, though!
 
I've still gotta get up to Memphis, David - I've not forgotten
 
I went & looked at an MGA coupe about 20 miles North of here,right on the ocean.
It wasen't covered up,& wasen't for sale.Same thing -
-probably a pile of rust by now.Too bad.

I've offered slightly less for that MGA coupe every time I ask. I keep hoping that he understands that it is going down in value not up.
 
Well, this one is going to be too high also

May be up your way next week, David
