Hurricane Sandy damage

[rufus39]

I just now read in Old Cars Weekly about all the damage that was done to many cars due to Hurricane Sandy. I had no idea that so many cars were affected .Many destroyed with the salt water.I know in the overall scheme of things that these losses are insignificant compared to lives and homes,but it is sad to hear about all the damage to the old cars.
Maybe in the future, could we all somehow pool our resources to help temporiarly relocate these cars to a safe location for our fellow car enthusiasts?
Its just a thought, but I personally would be more than willing to help with this if possible in the future.Maybe we could have a Resource Center of some sort ?
Here's the link if anyone wants to read about this.....

One town I know well, Keyport, had pictures of a nice 57 chevy (can I say that on this site) destroyed. Monmouth County has always been a car hot bed, suicide machines sprung from cages on highway 9.

Nice Springsteen reference!

My father and I were planning on going to that antique car museum in Point Pleasant (link in post #1). Looks like now we'll have to wait.

That hurricane sure did some real damage, to a lot of the coastal area both property and personal. I recently caught an episode of American Chopper and the son Paul Jr.
was requested to retrieve and restore the 911 bike that was created on behalf of that tragic day, as a reminder. They said that the bike along with the site itself brought in a significant amount of money from Visitors, and that the bike was under 4ft of water for 2 days, all salt water and the damage was that extensive in that short of time, when they got the bike back to the shop and removed the exhaust was amazed of the amount of water that poured out of it. They showed the water line on the plate glass window that the bike sat in front of. They have to completely disassemble and send pieces all over to get them redone and put it all back together.
Like rufus39 said this is insignificant compared to the lives and personal anguish that so many suffered from this Hurricane/storm, but I thought I'd share.

I talk with shops all day, haven't been able to reach many shops in that area at all, still no phone lines anywhere near the coast! So sad all around...
