@Wasifali: Are far as the owners of the red T-Bird and Camaro are concerned, if they're 'annoyed' that's just too bad for them. If they have issues, tell them to come and speak to me. I know them as well. My friend told me he was told not to take pics but I made him take whatever pics he could on my insistence. He is not to be blamed. The people at the workshop 'may' have asked him not to upload any pics (which they did not btw, they just asked him not to take any pics) but they did not ask me. The pics were taken out of enthusiasm (in addition to the above reasons) and to show others new discoveries which they have not seen before and for the reasons that Mohsin has also mentioned. There are true enthusiasts and there are those who do not care and will let their cars deteriorate and fall apart and neither of the two will ever see eye to eye.
The specific reason I requested these pics to be taken was because I wanted to see if this car was a fact or a myth AND I wanted it to be added to the 1961 Thunderbird registry in the USA which keeps track of all surviving '61 T-Birds which have the lowest survival rate of all T-Birds. This car will be added to the T-Bird registry showing one more '61 T-Bird is out there as a survivor and if the owners are not willing to appreciate that fact even now then there is nothing much I can do about it.
They need not worry as I'm not the least bit interested in it (I have the same car, I had 2 of them actually, pics of which are posted here a few pages back) and even if others people are interested, the chances they will actually go and buy it are next to nil. Many people show interest in buying these cars but balk when it comes to the price and actually getting down to buying it. I've seen it one too many times. They expect to get the car in the range of Rs.25K to Rs.50K and not a penny more and besides if the owners do not wish to sell them, that's their prerogative, no body is holding a gun to their heads and neither are these cars golden chariots that all and sundry will come clamoring to buy them so they should have nothing to worry about.
If they are so possessive about these cars then maybe its time they did something about getting them back on the road and they should realize that keeping these cars in this state of non-use and disrepair is the worst thing you can do them. Its almost an injustice and I'm sure many here will agree with me, so the owners of these cars will find themselves quite alone in their sentiments.
