"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

I'll put that in the well bought class. Not a steal but still that is a lot of history and some prestigious awards for being out of the barn for such a short time.

Might need a ring job.  I recall the Black Ghost burning oil while being driven around a track on a youtube I watched on the car.  The ghost is registered on the Historic Vehicles list I believe.

Hopefully the car will stay well preserved down there.

Yes, you are 100 percent correct. I wonder why such cars are not evacuated to safer areas before the storm hits. Maybe there isn't enough advance warning or maybe it is the belief that the storm will not get as bad as it becomes.

Guy had four wing cars. Two were moved off site. The other two were six feet in the air. Hard to imagine they would be washed off the lifts

I think Mark Worman of Graveyard Carz did a prior restoration of one of the affected cars.  The Vitamin C or Hemi Orange one that was damaged.

Not that this car didn't need re-restored anyways. The lord moves in mysterious ways.

It is said that, bathed in the light of a waning moon, the real black ghost continues to ride the phantom highways of the night, a driverless machine, a headless horseman, rolling over the sickly asphalt on the outskirts of Detroit, conquering all takers.
