Now here’s something that might make you weep a little, even if it’s just a single tear: somewhere in Pennsylvania, there are a couple of classic muscle cars that sit in open ignominy and disrepair.

Yes, it’s true. We have here a classic case of hypofinancitis and Pack Rat Syndrome, as two separate owners essentially condemned these cars to death. Like malnourished pets kept out of sight and out of mind, these cars are in dire need of some new owners.

In the case of the Javelin, it’s reported that the owner at least gave a restoration the old college try. It has and has had all of its parts with its current owner, and the owner got started on the interior and engine, which was a 390 that he wanted to convert to a High Output model.

Alas, life dumped its proverbial lemons on the poor guy, and he decided instead to purchase himself a Mark Donahue model–good luck authenticating its actual pedigree, considering the clones that spawned–all turnkey and ready to roll. The rusty mess he left behind will at least have bit of head start for its next owner.

As for the Firebird, the post simply states that it’s the first car the owner ever had, and she “plans to restore it someday.” Uh huh, sure. She needs to do the humane thing and just list it on Craigslist.

Should she finally decide to get down and dirty restoring it, however, she couldn’t do much better than to seek out the nearest Harbor Freight Tools and go to town, much like the epic saga we covered a couple months ago. The company availed a dedicated group of guys its entire repertoire of tools, all for the sake of returning a ’67 Firebird to its former glory; it’s quite a compelling story.

Which one would you rather restore? The janky Javelin, or the feeble Firebird?
