I hear ya on the ones sitting around OSK, They never end up doing anything with them.
Most of the time when I would see old cars somewhere and stop to have a look they would be all rusted out.
They looked good from the street but when you got up close it was another story.
That was in Florida.
That ain't the case out here in Nevada, I would say 99% are worth restoring that I have seen.
Lots of good solid cars out here.
