Ya gotta figure the cost. That's the bottom line of everything. Who is paying for de-rerusting or any other fooling around? The car is worth zero dollars. The city isn't going to spend for any refurbishing when it's owned by 2 old ladies. And frankly why would the sisters pay? There can't be any way that it's possible to break even on restoring the thing.
I bet you the car is actually worth quite a bit, think about a possible ebay sale. It is a piece of history.Quote:

If it were mine I would leave it exactly as it came out of the hole, build a sealed glass trailer for it and make money with it. I would contact every large and small car show around the country and rent it to them as an attraction to use at their show. If I knew this car was coming somewhere close to my home I would pay to see it. I couldn't make it to Tulsa, so this would be worth it IMO. When that faded out I would rent it to some museum.
I don't think there is any way in h*** this car could EVER be returned to a car once more, regardless of how much money you spent. And even if you could, why spend stupid money on it?

Double you money possibilities and put a stuffed Bigfoot behind the wheel!:D
