You couldnt fix this car: Auto auction purchase turns into one mans nightmare

Theres the stereotypical car guy, and then theres Gregory Hastings.

Among his cars, the 64-year-old Paxton resident owns a 1969 Corvette that hes spent 25 years building into pristine condition. But mainstream cars, in great condition at an affordable price, are the name of the game when Hastings and his wife Karen purchase and resell late-model cars. They look regularly for autos sold secondhand to avoid having to pay retail price.
