I have to agree with both Jim and Mark in a way. Being USAF with the possibility of moving has meant that if I wanted an "old car" it needed to be easily moveable. I also need a second car, so the old one has to do regular duty, at least back and forth to work. To keep from putting to many miles on it I got a motorcycle too. Parking is always at a premium in base housing (the idiots never have seemed to figure out they need more parking -- even the latest housing has the same problem -- worse than the typical appartment complex -- though many housing developments in town have the same problems, especially older ones), and I have to move the thing! It's much easier to tow a bike across the country than a car, especially since I can throw a lot more on the same trailer.

Marks point that the car was "saved" rather then going to the crusher is valid too. If nothing else when/if the little "crackerbox" Ramblers do get to be collectible there just might be a source for some body parts in that drag car. I didn't read to much on it, caught that it had a Nova or Camaro front clip but not if they built a complete frame under it. Might have "front halved" the car. At least the sheet metal and some glass is being preserved though.
