As anybody who's tried to "protect" a car under a tarp over the winter knows, such an effort can easily result in more or less serious scratches spread across the entire surface of the vehicle, all due to the dust and the wind working together under the cover. But what if you park your vehicle on the ground, rather than on asphalt, throw a tarp over it and leave the thing like that for 29 years? This sounds like a horror story, but it describes the life this Dodge Super Been has been living since 1991.
It looks like the green tarp that's been keeping everybody from seeing the decaying state of the muscle was recently lifted. And the next step was to list the Dodge on Facebook Marketplace.

Well, this Super Bee seems to bring quite a dilemma. You see, the icon is listed for just $3,000, but that's because it can easily be labeled as the victim of rust, especially when talking about the lower end that has been on the ground. However, the engine compartment is no stranger to iron oxide, as you'll notice in the image gallery above, which showcases the current state of the machine.

As for the said tough decision, it all revolves around a question: should somebody try to save this thing or would it be more reasonable to turn it into a parts vehicle for some amazing build?

All we know is that the Dodge is located in Zelienople, PA  and, according to its seller, those 80,852 miles on its odo stand for the original number. This automatic tranny example is offered with a clean title and a tag, but beware, its seller admits that the frame is lost.

If think about the fact that the time the vehicle spent in isolation is considerably more generous than the years spent on the road, it's difficult not to feel sorry for this slab of America.
