Where I work a guy has a 73 firebird that's not rusted out and actually has the original gold paint on it. I actually had a opportunity to buy it back in the early- mid 80's from the original owner but I passed. Been a maine car its whole life but the original owner did take care of it..you could tell the car was special to him. I cringed watching the 73 ta...without being completely taken apart and preserved you know that salt water is already doing its thing and the restoration looked like a nice one prior. Too bad.
