My two Sons have been best friends with another guy since high school (they are all 43 now). This guy's Dad had a gas station for years and collected every old car he could get, mostly early 60's Mustangs. He had a fastback, a convertible, and a 64 1/2 coupe, plus tons and tons of engines and other parts for them. He also had a chopped 32 Ford five window coupe body and frame that were nice.
It was always promised that my Son's friend would get the one Mustang and his Brother would get the 32. The Dad died a long time ago but the cars were all jammed into a huge garage........and I mean JAMMED. We went over to see the stuff years ago and you had to climb over stuff just to get through. They wouldn't even talk about selling the coupe, I offered lots of times but they just said no, it was going to the one Brother.
Well, that Brother moved EVERYTHING to his barn, even the things that were promised to his Brother, and then he died too. So now the friend of my Sons finds out the Mom went in and sold everything off without any of them knowing about it, even the things the Dad had promised to my Sons friend. The coupe brought $10,000, which is a steal, the bodies alone bring $25K. All the Mustangs went for $10,000 too, also a steal.
The Mom is a little weird in the head, and seems to not care for the kids at all. My Sons friend feels terrible because that Mustang was the only thing he had left from his Dad and was planning on restoring it someday. He and his Mom have never been close and it is a shame because I always called him my 3rd Son...........he is a good guy and was at my house more than his when he was growing up.
It isn't like the Mom needed the money, she is VERY well off, she just did it IMO to spite her Son.
