1967 Camaro RS 03’67 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. Read the rest of this entry »

1969 Ford Ranchero 390-cid

Here’s a nice factory big block Ranchero that someone started to disassemble and then lost interest for whatever reason. It actually looks pretty much unmolested and seems to have fairly straight body panels. Hard to tell for sure of course without a closer inspection, but the owner says it’s an Arizona car and so doesn’t have much rust. Of course we all know how that goes. Read the rest of this entry »

1969 AMX by AMC

Check out this ’69 AMX rolling chassis. The original 390 cid engine and “Shift Command” 3 speed automatic are long gone. But hey, that’s just the excuse you were looking for to make a Pro-street drag car, right? And the blown motor you were going to cram in there would require a wicked hood scoop anyway, so the fact that the hood is MIA isn’t a problem either. Read the rest of this entry »

This would be an excellent restoration project if the guy could ever be convinced to part with her. But apparently several attempts have been made, but he’s not biting. It’s supposedly been verified by PHS as a true GTO. Read the rest of this entry »

1970 ‘Cuda AAR in Lemon Twist

You think maybe this car has some potential? Hmmmm… maybe. Bidders at Barrett-Jackson seem to think so. This similar 1970 ‘Cuda recently fetched over $100,000! Read the rest of this entry »

1967 Mustang High Country Special Convertible

Well, you don’t see one of these every day! Yes, yes… I know that’s a bad cliche, but this is one of those rare instances where it’s very true.

The High Country Special was one of the earliest factory limited edition Mustangs. Ford went pretty crazy in 1967 & 1968 with California Specials, Color of the Month Mustangs, Gold Nugget Specials, Lone Star Limited, Ski Country Specials and so on. Read the rest of this entry »

1969 Firebird

1969 Pontiac Firebird

Not a whole lot of information to go by on this Firebird. According to the owner it’s a factory Orange car with a white interior. But Orange wasn’t a factory color, so it looks like Matador Red (paint code 52) or maybe Burgundy (code 67) but it’s hard to tell with so many years of the sun beating down on it. The motor is gone, but it still has the factory 3 speed transmission. You just have to pull it out of the trunk!

From the photos it seems the owner has a few more decent classic cars rusting away in his collection. It’s really a shame when vintage and muscle cars like this just get abandoned out in a field and the owner won’t part with them. They always say they’re going to restore them, but year after year there they still sit.

1970 Dodge Challenger

Unfortunately this Challenger may be headed to the great Mopar showroom in the sky. It’s really only good for a parts car at this point. So much has been chopped off and hacked away that it’s barely holding itself together. Leaving it out in the snow to rust certainly isn’t helping matters.

1968 Fastback – Minor Rust

Only one slight problem with this 1968 Mustang fastback… It seems to be RUSTED IN HALF! The owner says it spent it’s life in Northern Michigan and that “this happens more than you would think.” Yikes! Read the rest of this entry »

UPDATE – MAY, 2010 – What a small world the internet has created. The very same ’47 Sedan in this article was sold and the new owner has started bringing it back to life. He was actually searching the internet for parts when he stumbled across this site and found photos of his car! (see comments below)

Well, he was good enough to send some progress photos of the work he’s done so far. Thanks and please keep us updated on your project! Read the rest of this entry »
