2 Superbirds and a 68 Petty blue Roadrunner finally get to go inside. I don’t have time to give the whole story right now but I will follow up later. They were 5 miles from me.

Looks like they were there a long time... Imagine what they would be worth if he had them inside for all that time... Thanks for sharing.

Okay, a little more to the story.
The owner of the cars I became friends with maybe 10 years ago.
We both own 68 Petty blue Road Runner’s and he allowed me to take pictures of his for reference. Well as time went by he had to move them from the city and brought them out in the country near my house.
Long story short.
His wife is very ill and it doesn’t look good. Well we all know the story where there’s a will there’s a family member.
Someone mentioned the 3 cars and he flipped out. This is the story I’m getting.
Anyway another friend of mine owns a towing service offered to move them to a secure place indoors for free. So me being who I am I didn’t want to bother him about selling at this time.
I will bother him later. Lol. I know they are safe and secure where they are for now. And best of all they’re inside. I have made offers to buy them in the past but he has sentimental value in them, they belonged to his dad. Which his dad was a BIG Richard Petty fan. He really should have taken better care of them but that’s not for me to say.
I hope a miracle happens and his wife is able to pull through.
He lost his son at a very young age and god knows he has been through hell. God bless them both.

Good luck to them. Cars aren't that important.

Regardless of the ultimate disposition of the cars, you're a good friend.

Sorry to hear of what's going on with him. I sure hope the guy who is storing them has good intentions as I have seen these types of situations turn UGLY quick when one wants to profit from them and makes up a scheme to get the cars for "storing" them.. Possession is 9/10 of the law DAMHIK it happened to me 20 years ago by my own brother... Thanks for the update.

Sorry you were stung, but faith
deserves her space. I don't believe
the OP has Ill intentions here, as
there are now too many witnesses
as to the circumstance. I certainly
understand a brothers' cynical ways.

Well, good luck on the future score.
