In Wisconsin, over the past ten or so years, I always see this poor Beretta sitting in somebody's front drive.
I wonder if it's worth saving? Maybe someday I'll stop and ask and take a look see.

It's Cayenne Red! Worth saving if it's not rusted to crap!

I bought my two stage blue Beretta in Ohio last year, the rocker panels were rusted but I had them fixed, not too difficult. Other than mine, I saw a Beretta 2 years ago with a lot of rust

Found this one online the other day as a parting-out. He finally put a price on the whole car ($300!). Too bad, I just don't have time or cash for this.

Hey, I've done my share, I have six of 'em here! And only one of them was fully running/driving when I bought them too, the others were saved from a certain or probable trip to the scrapper.

Nice. It can be a cool project. Hope someone will restore it to its former glory.

I wish that would happen too. But I doubt it. The guy I bought my second Black Rose Metallic Z-26 from recently said that he was afraid it was going to go to the scrapper, because NO ONE else had shown any interest in it. The car was 100% original, 99.8% rust-free (minor surface rust under the battery-tray is all that is there, even the bolts on the exhaust weren't rusted and came free for me), newish tires and super-clean inside (both the engine-bay and cabin had been detailed before the engine went bad). It even came with a good set of FACTORY service-manuals -the dictionary-sized ones that offer transmission fluid flow-charts in color, show where the spot-welds are for quarter-panel replacement, have trouble-shooting charts and ACCURATE wiring diagrams, even hardware specifications.
This Raspberry one looks like it sat in a swamp for several months and the guy said the interior is trash. Sadly, that is probably where it is going because hardly anyone cares.
ifixalot, have you gone up and talked to the owner yet? Summer is coming...
