Nice find!

Re: Backyard finds today
 

Cool. Did that influence your decision to buy the house?

Re: Backyard finds today
 

Sam,

I think he would have sold me the car without the purchase of the house. However, we really liked the house before the car was considered.

Re: Backyard finds today
 

Congrats on the house AND the car.

Re: Backyard finds today
 

Thanks guys. I certainly didn't need another project but some things are just too good to pass up!

Re: Backyard finds today
 

Maybe should be in barnfinds category, but could not find the thread here....anyway, I went to do a lot survey on a property a few weeks ago in Hopewell Nj that had just an old barn on the property..it was almost falling over...outside sat three Camaros..a 69 vert..a 68 RS vert and a 69 coupe...unfortunately, all pretty much rustbuckets. The owner is willing to sell them but he thinks they are gold I guess. I asked if he had any other parts and he told me no, but his friend has some NOS 69 quarters that he would sell. So he called his friend for me and I drove right over there about 5 mins away and this 72 year old fellow took me in his building where he has over 100 cars...I think the newest car in there was probably the original paint black 58 Chevy with the tripower...and I could not believe the parts this guy has...and every single part is labeled and organized...he really has mostly 40's and 50'd stuff...but imagine, he has 1200 windshields...so many fenders, bumpers, wheels, hubcaps...literally thousands and thousands of parts...I was astonished..a bunch of flathead motors...and I barely got to see anything....Wowwwww..i could not believe these guys are still around...
I did get a great deal on the 69 quarters for my Indy....and I am going back because he has a 454 4 bolt engine that was really buried that he is going to pull out for me to see..I am in brazil right now, but when I get back in the states if he lets me, I will take some pictures...

just goes to show..they are still out there...these old time hoarders...keep on looking !!!

Re: Backyard finds today
 

A member on the H-body forum bought this 65 Chevelle. He said it has been sitting in a building, on a farm, for the last 30 years.
Not sure if he added the wheels and tires to move the car.

Re: Backyard finds today
 

L88 hoods just look so right on 70-73 Camaros. A shame about the silver blue one, dang.

No doubt, the silver blue one if real would be a stunner!

Re: Backyard finds today
 

Boy I sure could use the fuel tank out of this for a 1962 Mercury Monterey Convertible we are restoring. No one reproduces this tank so far as I have been able to find.

Re: Backyard finds today
 

damn clean for a Detroit area car ... must have been drug up from somewhere else ... nice fat rear steelies on it ...

Re: Backyard finds today
 

why would someone just pick this car to the bone and leave the rest to rot? ... this looks like it could have been saved

Re: Backyard finds today
 

Leftover donor carcass for something more special?
Did you check the Vin digit?

Re: Backyard finds today
 

Not sure exactly what it is and based on a TA. I recently ran across this in a very old and run down garage. Anyone know exactly what kind of custom it is. Owner states it was built for Kenwood stereo company.

Re: Backyard finds today
 

Rick, almost looks like an 80s Motion Performance kit...

Re: Backyard finds today
 

There is more to that car than first meets the eye. The hatch was an aftermarket item that was produced in limited numbers. The door handles have been shaved. The hood was very 80ish, and it appears that both the front and rear wheel openings have been made wider (fenders and 1/4s kinda puffed out IMSA style). Someone invested some time and money in that car. It's a shame it has biodegraded to the state that it is in now. I went to the Indy 500 many, many years, and PPG had a traveling pace car group that had cars done in this fashion. It would be cool to know the whereabouts of some of those cars.

Re: Backyard finds today
 

It was likely no more than what he claimed as a custom car build for Kenwood. There were a few complete custom wide bodies built in that era so I was not sure.

Re: Backyard finds today
 

Sitting for over a decade in my friends garage. Still wearing the paint I applied back around 1988. We installed the tri power on the worked 455 at the same time. 4 speed car with 4.30 gears.

Re: Backyard finds today
 

My latest find. Early 1965 mustang convertible, has many 64 1/2 features. Off the road since 1982, restoration was started and new rails, rockers, torque boxes and floor pans installed. 6 cylinder, auto, original red/red car. And yes... I bought it.

Re: Backyard finds today
 

Found this.What is it?
