I would like to comment on the car dealership on Richmond Ave east.I was shocked to see a beautiful 67 Barracuda stuck up on a pole to rot away in the elements,what a shame.This guy should have his head examined to be destroying such a beautiful car.Why not sell it so it can be enjoyed by someone who would use it.I am a lover of classic cars,and to see this beautiful car wasting away on a pole is just a complete shame.This guy should be ashamed of himself.I for one would never buy a car from someone with such disregard for beautiful cars.I hope others feel as I do and not buy from him.

I thought I was the only one that thought that, what a waste.

Can the car be restored? It might be past the point of no return. Besides, it is his car and it's there to attract attention. It's obviously doing it's job, isnt it?

that the car was likely too far gone for a restoration, yet sitting up on that pole could be passable. A "good from far, but far from good" scenario.

is a huge "car guy". I'm sure he wouldn't waste something that has huge potential value. If you don't like it - too bad, but I think it's pretty neat.

The car was beyond salvageable.......if anything, He restored it.  
 
 
He is a stand up guy and a lover of classic cars.  
 
You don't know what you're talking about.

so sad to see such a beautiful car go to waste its always been a dream of mine to fix up a cuda or an old firebird or something

really love a car its never beyond fixing u just have to want to put the time and money in to it as i did with my 79 blazer 5 years of work and its finally done and i love that truck worth every penny i put into it i was told id never get it back on the road and it passed a safety 3 days ago now im fixing up a 55 Pontiac 2 door hard top still looking to find me a muscle car though

Sheesh, I like the old stuff(classics) just as much as anyone, but it's just a car; to boycott a business over that is pretty immature...not???

There is nothing beyond saving. It would just cost a heck of a lot money to fix it up.

buy a car from there now id rather see the barracuda on the showroom and the 2010's and 11's stuck up on poles

pfffff, with the amount of fossil fuels a 67 would drink its probably better off on a pole  
 
prius FTW

He's a FORD )i hope i can say the F-word) guy. LOL!!

the f word haha jk i dont like ford much but i do have to admit some of there older stuff was really nice but there new cars are garbage like most new cars are

Im glad there are a few people out there that believe in fixing up old vehicles.It just got to me seeing such a sweet car stuck up on a pole.Keep up the good work and thanks for agreeing with me.

Sorry to see the pics of your jeep.That really sucks.Thanks for agreeing with me.

Spoken like a true non lover of cars.

im currently looking for a 70's trans am to fix up also now that my blazer is done i need more projects

is estimated at about 8 grand to finish i dunno what the previous owner put into it but it will be coming to my yard on a trailer tonight needs a new interior seats are done for and paint most of body work is already done bought the car yesterday

im a classic car lover as well.. and ya it does suck to see such a beautiful car sitting there like that... but its doing its job...its getting people talking about his dealership and getting people to go look at it right?  
that is his way of advertisment, and honeslty its working very well...  
its not different then those guys who fix there cars up and never drive them they just sit on a trailer thier whole life... at least the cuda has a purpose

He bought it off a guy who had it sitting on his farm and he was wanting to restore it. Now, after realizing it needed tons of work including structural frame work it made no sense to put the cash into it.  
 
He is also not done yet. The display will be even cooler looking once he gets the last piece of the display up. I won't ruin the suprise but wether you agree or not with the use of the car, you will think it is the coolest display for a business ever.  
 

I know a few people that have tractors out front, old trucks and myself...a snowmobile...they all look pretty good cruising by on the road...but get close...real close and you realise their FUBAR....my sled...looks good when you see it, get close and it looks like it's seen more rocks then a gravel pit...and hoenstly at least he saved it and made a display....it could be a tin can right now, so many of the old trucks and cars went to the crusher, my dodge truck was purchased from a wrecker just before it was to be crushed...so any salvage is good

Well joe since you seem to be so annoyed that this car is being wasted why don't you step up and make him an offer.Besides it's just a plymouth, had it been a 67 mustang that would be entirely different

Just like the old International that the city has fixed up. From afar it looks perfect, but go up close, there are many imperfections.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but....It's HIS car. He can do whatever he wants with it. To boycott his business because of this is just ridiculous. I'm sure he's not losing any sleep over the idea that you won't buy a car from him now. Get over yourselves and deal with it. If it were some POS non-classic car would you still have a problem with it? Probably not.

I have my 72 buick making 28 mpg and still pushing 400 hp.....the new cars are the junky crap....any of us with classics will give your prius a free waxing

is a 79 pushing about 400 horse havnt been driving it very long as i just got it saftied 3 days ago so i dont know mileage but i wasted one of those new civics with it already old cars are real cars least if i hit sumthing with it it wont break apart like a kids toy

To all of you who wish the car was restored, why not ask him if it is for sell. If the price is right the car can come down from the pole and into you garage.

lets be thankful that it hasnt gone to the crusher or the demo derby guys. I for one am a Mopar guy, and I dam near died when I saw it on the pole. Lets remember he could have left that car sitting out back of his house with the plan to one day restore it, only to let it rot away. Go to www.carsinbarns.com to see what I mean

i love that site im always on there checking it out
