Z26 lawn ornament

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. :cry:

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. :good:

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... :beer:
