Funny you would say that. Back in 83' when we first moved to the left coast, My wife had a VW Rabbit diesel that we left here in a U-Store building here in Dallas and packed all our belongings around the car. We were only supposed to be gone for like 6-8 weeks initially. I gave a buddy the key to the storage building and asked him to go up there once a month and start the car to keep the battery charged. Boy did he ever! After ~6 months the company decided to move us out to California "semi-permanently", so I came back here to gather up our belongings and haul them out west. Got to the U-Store unlocked it and opened the door and - whats this? No car... Huh? Wonder what this is all about? Went ahead and loaded up the truck and drove down to my buddies house. I found out that he went up there a couple days after we left and gave his ole lady my car to drive! We had canceled the insurance, the tags had since expired, etc. She had put about 20,000 miles on the car!! They had been parking it on the street and some neighborhood kid had even egged it on halloween- the egg shell and egg was still stuck to the paint! The b!@#%* hadn't even washed the egg off. So what do you think the odds are of me leaving my vette with a "friend"?

Uh welllllll probably not. Unless your plan involved puttin in a blown 502 and a pro street rear. If so we may need to talk.

64 bring it up here the 67 mustang is about to find a new home . Leave the keys but take the tire's and wheels because i spend enough here and will not be willing to buy them for the Vette. The garage is climate controled and i would keep the dust and mice out . I will however take some pics with me in the seat
