Looks like this Charger has been sitting in the woods for quite a while. You feel damp and humid just looking at the photos. Lots of undergrowth, not much sun, rainy climate, covered in fallen leaves and pine needles - Perfect environment for rust to breed! Read the rest of this entry »

77,000 original mile Camaro stored for 30+ years

Someone got a deal on this true barn find 1967 Camaro RS. It sold on eBay recently for $9,472. Yes, I know the "barn find" term is used these days for just about any old car that has a layer of dust on it, but this one was honestly pulled out of an Ohio barn. It sat there for 30 plus years and only has 77,000 original miles on the odometer. Supposedly with a quick fluid flush, new starter and fresh battery she started up just fine.

1968-cougar-390-2v'68 Big Block Cat Saved!

Thanks to Steve N. for sending in this survival story. Way too often you see that great muscle car sitting in the weeds because the owner says he's going to restore it some day. Usually they sit so long that there's nothing left to save after a few decades of rust. But this big block Cougar has found a new home and is on it's way to being restored and back on the road again.

1965-gto-31965 Pontiac GTO Coupe

This is THE original muscle car; a 1964 GTO. This was the first year for GM's A body as well as the legendary GTO. This example has a bit of rust, but really appears quite solid. At least it hasn't been sitting in a field for 20 years. It may have been forgotten and neglected, but it doesn't have it's tires in the grave just yet.

Posted in Firebird, Pontiac | No Comments »

Rare 400 RAM-AIR Firebird project car

Just looking at the photos you can feel the brutal desert heat that this Arizona Firebird has been baking in for the last decade or two. Although not rusted away (thanks to it's dry climate) this Firebird will need all new floors and trunk at a minimum. Seems as though the doors, front fenders, rear quarter panels and cab support members are still in decent shape. Read the rest of this entry »
