My best pick was a 1970 Mustang. This guy had a house that needed to be gutted and re-built, and my friend was going to do the work. I went with him to look at the project, it was a disaster, the roof had been leaking for maybe 30 years that no one was living in the house, there were mushrooms all over the inside. The car had been in the garage since 1975. My buddy told the guy he had to move the car so he had a space to work out of. The guy said if anyone wanted the car, they could have it. I went and bought a battery, a can of starter fluid, and a can of gas, and drove it home. The motor was all raced out, I put on new tires and rims, some basic maintenance, and drove it for 3 years before trading it for a 4wd truck when I moved to Idaho.
