Muscle Cars damged by Hurricane..

[Straight Shooter]

This, of course, is NOTHING. Compared to the horrors going on in Florida. I simply post this as Im a muscle car fan, period.
And I do wonder though...with the warnings they had..why couldnt the owner trailer these up and move them out of harms way for a few days?

When I was in Fl my neighbor had a 1968 Z28, crossram 302, bla, bla.
One storm went through and it sat in sea water up to the roof and then just sat there rotting away for the next several years.
A tragedy IMO.
Same storm and I lost pretty much everything.
Everything floating in the house with Mullet swimming in the living room.

That's sad, there's not many of those Daytonas and Superbirds around.

No, there isnt. MANY years ago at Talladega Speedway, they had, if I recall correctly...about 150 or more together on the track, and they did a lap or two as best I recall. Was AWESOME.

That's got to hurt.

That is awesome. The era of Nascar with the aerodynamic cars like the Superbirds and Talladega Torinos and Cyclones running unrestricted 426 Hemis and Boss 429s and going over 200 mph was ****ing epic.

All that money for the million dollar house...But no garage for your very expensive cars.

The earlier forecast was landfall in Tampa, not Fort Myers. Then the Panhandle, then north of Tampa, then Tampa. That's a big difference. Furthermore, forecast tracks aren't solid and things change. It becomes a risk versus reward game and also an issue of the boy who cried wolf. When Irma struck, it originally was planned to make landfall on the east coast and folks fled to the west coast. Guess where it struck? The west coast. For folks that haven't gone through them, you really don't have a solid forecast until about the 12 hour mark and even then they change.

Andrew was originally forecasted to hit Miami, literally under an 8 hour window before landfall it shifted south and struck Homestead.

That means you can't really move stuff. Because for every storm. 9 out of 10 times, it'll be a boy who cried wolf and that costs money.
