So, on a non speedway related forum we have a thread, left to rot - cars that have been abandoned or forgotten. Might be something to start here, abeit with speedway cars of all varieties; In Auckland; Flat chassis, independent front end & 245/265 Valiant.. Unknown now Topolino with 202 and VW? front end?

onl[y real problem with collectors is that sadly while they do preserve history - not many actually get to see it and a large number are not restorers so the cars rot away in these collections.
unfortunate really but if he doesnt want to sell we cant make him.

Unfortunately I am in a similar position. I have had an old car for over 12 years and my circumstances don't allow covered storage or time/$ to work on it. I can't bring myself to sell it as I know I will never get the chance to race a stockcar again. The kids would love to see me race as they weren't around when I did back in the late 80's early 90's. It has sat in 2 guys places who said they'd get it going again but sadly that has never happened. What suggestions do you guys have? ( Not just sell it!)
A partnership can end up in a nasty situation ( been there and done that with a stockcar) But am open to options.....
I really need to experience that buzz you get when you race.
This car would look great back on the track so if anyone has any suggestions or proposals please message me.

Put up a photo of it back in the day so people can see what it is they might be up against & go from there. Where in the country are you?
