I didn't let a friend do anything. It belongs to someone I know, who has the most magical rose-colored glasses of all time.
Editor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!

that was the typical "hot rod" running around town when I was a kid. Rusty, mismatched rims, stink bug stance, hood scoop, shackles...I cant say I hate it, I can say I am glad it is not mine...it made me smile, in a good way...childhood memories and whatnot.

that's the kind of shitbox you had to watch out for when I was a kid. Looks like a turd rolling down hill, but there were several around Manana (street races) that looked like that and shook the concrete under them. When 10 second street cars were pretty much non-existent, I remember at least two rusted out F-bodies that would run the number there.
I have seen worse. Its a decent starting point, as long as you have no plans to sell it. 2nd gen Camaros after 73 dont bring any money, nobody outside trailer parks want them. They make great parts cars for Trans Ams and Formulas. A little work, wheels, tires, engine swap, quarters, paint, and its a decent ride. As is, well its a pile of doo. Cars like that usually end up rusting in someone's driveway as yard art that nobody likes.
I thought cars didn't rust out there - did he actually import a rusty car to the desert just to prove a point?
I suppose if it's not rusty underneath it could be saved. He has surely connected with his inner joe dirt - those back wheels are among the ugliest ever produced.
That car is every father of a teenage daughters worst nightmare.
