Re: Backyard finds today
Next.... there are more but I got to do a few other things right now. I'll get back to this later. This Bird and the Z28 are for sale, per the owner. I thinking the the Z may be around $1,200. Not sure on the Bird but guessing $700.

Re: Backyard finds today
The first car has a big block heater core, I wonder if it's a real big block car.
|
Re: Backyard finds today
I'm guessing 396 car, yellow line of the tach started at 5200. Love the 4sp and gauges.
I liked this one, made my heart beat a lil faster. I could feel it's a beat up survivor. |
Re: Backyard finds today
Steve, Is that an Alarm Key on the front fender of the 68 Camaro? Also try using a macro setting on your close-up Pics if your camera has it.
|
Re: Backyard finds today
Yes that was what I percieved to be an alarm key on the fender, it didn't strike me as original but I don't know Camaros very well. The engine and tranny were in the garage, but I don't think they were original. I snooped around for the hood, but didn't see it.
I only bought the camera and hour before and was doing good to get what I got. I will be going back next weekend. |
Re: Backyard finds today
One more for the night, another 68 Bird. This was the roughest of three. There are several other cars at this one house, I have to get back down there next weekend for more pics with better camera skills.

Those old BMX bikes that we rode with fury, since they didn't have shocks our bodies took all the blows. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif |

you guys are ruthless...pretty cool car if she is the real deal....ok I will bite are the Olds pics from this weekend??? BTW keep up the good work Steve you may come back from the darkside and start playing with Chevy's the Camaro would be a nice ride put back together... |
Re: Backyard finds today
I have the feeling it's a real BB, I would assume it has a killer rearend in it. Maybe next weekend I can check that out. The pics were all taken yesterday.
The third 68 Bird I found is the one I want, I haven't posted anything on it yet. It has a HD 3.55, 4SP, factory gauges, deluxe interior, bench seat. All rare goodies for a Bird. So I'm sending off for the PHS to see if it may have been a coveted HO car. |
Re: Backyard finds today
Not quite this weekend, but close. I went to T'giving a year or two ago in Bethesda. My family went to a mall in Tyson's Corner or somewhere and we were looking for a place in the garage. Amidst all the Kias and Chevys was this H/O. I was floored - who in their right mind would be driving this car in this poor weather? It was a beater, to be sure, and I salute the owner for driving it, but when was the last time you saw a car of this caliber being used as a beater?
It's from my camera phone, hence the fuzziness. But it's one of my coolest finds. And yes, it had the sequence number on the dashboard. |
Re: Backyard finds today
This one has sat on our back lot now for close to 8 years. One of the wash rack guys that worked here in high school join the services, and left the car here when he went to boot camp. He never came back and got it.
I don’t think it’s anything special, except for the cowl hood and some nice bucket seats. I’m hoping the owner will let me haul it off some day when he gets tired of it. http://www.empgmc.com/race/70at.jpg Full Size http://www.empgmc.com/race/70bt.jpg Full Size http://www.empgmc.com/race/70ct.jpg Full Size |

Re: Backyard finds today
Look over the roof of the H/O on the left.

You don't have to go out to the boonies to find gems like those. Here's one that lives in my neighborhood, and has been sitting outside with the driver's side window rolled down for almost 4 years.

Another view. BTW, this car is well hidden in one of the nicest neighborhoods on the east side of Columbus.

Re: Backyard finds today
Both the SS and the Z28 are being relocated with new ownership.
https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif |
Re: Backyard finds today
Z28 at it's new home, cleaned up for inspection. Owner provided pics. No big deal, just think it's cool some one rescued it.

Re: Backyard finds today
Steve,
Did you get the SS? what did each of them end up going for? I sure would like to see that pace car make its way to my garage https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif I think I may have some NOS stripes for the flares and front spoiler of the Z...is the new owner going to do a resto/repaint or just drive it? |
