Documented Indy 500 Pace Car Camaro

Now this would make a sweet project. It's a documented '69 Camaro Indy 500 Pace Car. This Z-11 convertible has the proper trim tag and VIN as well as the original protect-a-plate from when the car was first sold in March of 1970.

1969 was the 2nd time that the Camaro was the official Indy 300 Pace Car. There were 132 actual pace cars that did race related duty. But Chevy also produced 3,675 limited edition replica cars, which is what this one is. They were all SS/RS convertibles in Dover white paint with white top and custom white and orange hounds tooth interior. The orange theme carried over to the Hugger Orange Z28 style body stripes and large decals on both doors proclaiming these as "OFFICIAL PACE CAR".  Here's more info on the 1969 Indy 500 Camaros.

This Camaro had a 350 cid (300 hp) and turbo hydromatic auto transmission, as well as a 12 bolt posi-trac rear end. The body and frame are actually in decent condition and already media blasted by a previous owner. Some not so great sheet metal patching has been attempted on the floor pans, so that will have to be redone. The front clip is mostly repop panels, not original sheet metal. The convertible top looks to be mostly intact and ready for a new skin. Original front disc brakes are still there, but probably need a total overhaul like everything else.

This would make a really nice restoration project.

1963 Chevy Nova Coupe

Mark sent in the following photos and info on his 1963 Nova project car. He originally purchased this car for parts, however it looks to be all original with most parts.

The Chevrolet Nova started production in 1961 (as a 1962 model). Three models were originally available; the Chevy II 100, Chevy II 300 and Chevy II Nova 400. They came in all sorts of body styles including 2-door, 4-door, coupe, sedan, station wagon and convertible. The 1963 wasn't changed much from the original, with just some trim and minor mechanical improvements.

'67 Chevy Camaro Rally Sport

It's really a pity to see a great car like this abandoned and up on blocks. It's been stripped of so many of it's parts and then left out in the yard to rust. Floor boards, rear quarters and truck floor are all swiss cheese with cancer.

This particular Camaro looks like it started life as a nicely optioned muscle car. The RS (Rally Sport) was a trim package, not a performance package. It included special tail lights (not correct on this car), hidden headlights, exterior rocker trim and of course RS badges. (1967 was actually the only year that the RS badges were lower case, not upper case) Other options on this car included Powerglide automatic transmission, deluxe lighting package, walnut steering wheel, tinted windshield, console and deluxe seat belts. Original paint was Tahoe Turquoise with Turquoise interior. A pretty nice combo. It's really too bad so many of those original parts are missing. It would be a good restoration candidate otherwise.

This '56 Corvette shell and chassis has been sitting in storage for over 35 years. It was stripped in 1974 for a restoration, but as we all know sometimes real life gets in the way of our hobbies. The original 265 engine is long gone as is the rest of the drive train. No word on whether this was originally a 3 speed manual or a Powerglide automatic.

The body looks ugly, but seems pretty straight under those multiple layers of paint and primer. There were 3467 Corvettes produced in 1956, which is a big part of the reason for their value. Compare the early Corvette production numbers to something like the Mustang, which had over 500,000 produced it's first year.

1955 Corvette

Sometimes those stories about a dream car tucked away in some old guy's barn aren't too far off. Here's a candidate for a really nice project. It's a 1955 Corvette that looks to be Pennant Blue. This was a super rare color with only 45 produced because it was replaced early in 1955 with Harvest Gold.

Actually all of the 1955 Corvettes are very rare, with only 700 produced. This was compared to 3,640 made the year before. The release of Ford's brand new Thunderbird was part of that sales decline and rumor was that the Corvette project would be short lived at GM.

Not much more info available on this car, but it sure would be fun to wrench on.

1959 Chevrolet Corvette Hard Top

This '59 Vette is up to it's axles in weeds and snow. According to the owner it's been sitting in this field in the California high country for more than 20 years! Man, this baby is just screaming to be restored!

Under the hood is a 327 cid backed by a 4 speed. Owner claims mileage is just over 17,000! Obviously no rust on the fiberglass, but pretty bad oxidation on the original paint. Check out the Rocket wheels!

1963 Nova 4 Door Drag Racer Project

Someone started with a good idea on this '63 Nova, but just couldn't follow through. So here it sits. It's been tubbed for slicks, has a Ford 9" rear with Detroit Locker and 4 link suspension. Maybe someone will pick this gem up and finish what was started.

Oh, and the rear doors are welded shut! Someone's been watching a few too many Dukes of Hazard reruns. Yeehaaa!!!

This was originally a Lemans Blue car with white convertible top. It was only a 6 cylinder, but that's still no way to treat a convertible Muscle Car!

The floor boards have more holes then metal. And check out that trunk. You're not hiding any bodies in there. Except maybe field mice.

What a sad way to treat such a potentially great looking car.

1962 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible - "Slight Smoke Damage"

OUCH! These photos just make you cringe. The great thing about the Corvette fiberglass bodies is they don't rust. But catching on file and burning to the ground? Yeah, you still gotta watch out for that.

Before it's little BBQ, this was a rare black on black Corvette. It had a (non-original) 327 cid with 250 hp. Unfortunately this one probably isn't even good for parts any more. That fire really took a toll. Too bad we don't have the full story on what happened.

1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Here's a cool little project that's been sitting in a North Carolina field. It's a 1966 Corvette convertible that someone started to do a resto-mod on. It's got a T10 four speed and Chevy 10 bolt rear end, but no motor. Interior is totally trashed (missing actually) and not sure what's going on with that left front tire. Maybe it's just the tire missing, but I don't see any spindle there either. As if there wasn't enough work to do on this car!
