I enjoy how you take a walk around and find interesting cars, not just in this video. If it wasn't for the things hiding in the grass I could spend days walking about in junkyards. Nice video, thank you and the property owner.
Mr.Nichols ..... I want to THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS.......!!!!! I remember all of these cars from the 1960's and 1970's ........ Your knowledge of these vehicles is beyond reproach.......... You know more about these VEHICLES than the people that made them. Please keep the message and mission coming......!!!!!
Wow, you just don't see these old classics anymore, the golden era for well built American cars is over forever, thanks so much for all that you do to document them, Liked
Thank you for the video. The silver '68 Z-28 looks like the car my buddy had back in the early 1970's. The "CHEVY" decal and the "BERGER" decal are identical as well as the color. We are from Hudsonville Michigan near Grand Rapids. He was not the original owner and the car was 5+ years old when he had it but it looked brand new. His Z was silver and we did frequent Berger Chevrolet's high-performance department which was quite famous back then. Berger also sponsored and fielded several race cars at the local drag strips. US131 Martin Dragway in particular, now called US131 Motorsports Park. My buddy, Jack, sold the car and got married around 1976. Sadly, Jack passed away from cancer in 1979. RIP my friend.
These vids are the best! I found two 70 Challengers and one 73 stowed away in the woods of southern Michigan. This is whats it whats about! The stories and finding them how they are! And we ended up with parts also!
Seeing vehicle's like these is exactly why I am on my tool game! I am constantly purchasing new tools so that, When the day comes & if I can find a old car in need of restoration, I am prepared to do it all myself! It's all about the tools, knowledge, the property with space to do it in, TIME & MONEY!!! ONE DAY???????? In the meantime, Being able to fix any issue that comes my way is definitely beneficial!
I sure hope Patrick makes a purchase on that Daytona Yellow Chevelle !!!!!!!!!!! that car is a beaut and a real GEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! and most likely would look good sitting in Patricks Driveway !!!!
Oh my goodness! I just discovered your videos and is there anything prettier or sexier than a classic muscle car??? Thank you for showing the world how beautiful these cars are! It's sad but awesome that you find these beauties and bring them to everyones attention.
I could watch this kind of video all day... Amazing find Patrick. I still stand in awe at your knowledge when you read a VIN off the top of your head. ✌️👊👍
Everything about that was nice. The sounds of nature. The sun. The old semi trucks and trailers and cabs and busses I could spend all day walking around by myself smiling
Patrick Glenn Nichols, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. It was so neat taking that walk with you, not knowing what you were going to find. I really got excited when you found that Yellow '69 Chevelle SS. Oh yeah. I bought a brand new '69 396 SS Chevelle in Hugger Orange with Black interior. It had a 4 speed tranny. That baby could scream and move. Sure wish I still had it. There was a Yellow 396 SS sitting next to the one I bought but, I favored the Hugger Orange over the Yellow. Thanks for sharing this walk down Memory Lane. Stan
Thanks for watching and for your support. I try very hard to bring these finds to my audience just exactly as I find them as much as I possibly can. I’m glad you like my approach. I don’t prefer the edited movie production theme. I like real and unedited,
they were not so rare back in the day we and live in a disposable society. I had a sweet 69 Camaro back in the day but I had no way to keep 2 vehicles, so I had to trade it in on a more dependable daily driver.
Didn't elaborate much on the 68 bird.. I noticed correct hockey stick 400 grilles along with correct 400 hood and the optional rpo code 471 hood tach. However it did seem from what I could tell was the dummy covers inside the 400 hood openings so my best guess would be that she's a standard 400 4 speed car and not a ram air II car but still cool none the less. Another interesting fact on these cars is all AC cars got the x-filler panels under the hood, behind the nose and before the rad to keep the cool air pushing thru toward the radiator but otherwise non AC cars did not get them unless it was a true 400 car cause all 400s received the x filler panels
@@kevinprice8344 Thanks for the info, being a muscle car enthusias since my teen years, I'm 53 now, I've always liked the Pontiacs of the 60's, big and small ones, I've been checking out 68 Firebirds any chance I get, I even seem to like the Firebirds over the Trans am model of other various years. My brother has a 65 Pontiac 2+2, 421 4sp, I love that car and can't wait to drive it, I'm sure it will give me the same feeling when I get the 70 Chevelle out and row it threw the gears.
Patrick Glenn Nichols Musclecar Barn Finds...I just came across this video and I'm a first-timer to your site! WOW...the proverbial trip down memory lane and I'm floored by your muscle car knowledge! Now, nearly 60 years old, my hindsight is MUCH better than my eyesight...I still have a handful of vintage Detroit, but the one I miss the most, is a '70 Chevelle SS 454 (LS5 option), rag, turbo 400, candy-apple red with white SS cowl-induction. I purchased it from a friend in '79, who bought it new, then sold it to another buddy (that worked in the paint shop at the local GM plant) in '83 so I could purchase a wedding ring! Well, I have to say, they've both aged beautifully and I still have the wife (we married in '85)...but my buddy still has my first love and won't trade! LOL Thanks again, great fun and Merry Christmas!!
When you opened that door and I saw the yellow paint with the SS grill my heart dropped. I had a 68 SS yellow with a black vinyl top back in 72. Proved to be to much car for 19 year old me cause I ended up totaling it.
Wow I often thought of that myself in high school all my friends have cougars Camaros Firebirds read news 1976-77 and I just had a little old 1966 Chevy Impala 2 door hardtop lowered to the ground yes I was a lowrider been one ever since low and slow is my thing even at 62 LOL
Patrick,I really enjoy you videos and the very special cars that you locate and let us see them.I know its got totake a lot of time and of course money to go to these places to find and see the cars.Thanks a lot for your time and expertise in reading the cowl tags ,finding the build sheets once again thanks for all your time in bringing these special cars to us.keep up the good work.
Even seeing the cars in this condition sitting in a trailer or in the field is so fun. If you need a cameraman that would come with you and be able to just see these cars hit me up. You wouldn’t have to give me a dime. Love your videos
One of my favorite things to do is get up on a Saturday morning, get a big cup of coffee, and take a walk through a Chevelle boneyard with Matthew McConaughey!
Really liked what you showed us Glenn, thank you. I really liked that firebird especially, too bad you couldn't have shown us more of it. Hopefully there was more of it left than the others. Take care.
On the 73 Z knowing how the stripes we're painted on is priceless, I've known guys getting into some heated arguments over who knew how they we're done. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video on some cool finds. I went to College in the early 80's near Berger Chevrolet on 28th st in Grand Rapids Michigan. I was lucky enough to checkout some of the collection they had. They also told me I was saying their name wrong. It's not Berg-er...it sounds like Ber-jer Chevrolet. I ended up purchasing an 82 K5 blazer from them for my Pop. My buddy was a used car salesman, and he gave me a bunch of dealer stickers for the back ends of the cars. Still have them today too. Just like the one on the back of that 68 silver Z-28.
It just amazes me how many of these old cars just sit & rot away. Are the owners waiting for their next lifetime to restore these or hoping for the restoration fairy to swing by and fix them? Such a waste!
It's all "I know what I got!" pinheads. A bunch of cars with no engine/trans, missing the entire front ends, glass, and totally rotted interiors. Besides a frame, and part of the body, you're not getting much of a head start there.
Theres a ton of donkeys out there that would rather watch it rot then sell and see someone else put it back together. I have a buddy like this, hes been saying " I'm going to redo it when i get extra money" when he did get a chunk of extra money, it was spent on everything but his project vechicle
I would be all too happy to rescue her!!! Growing up in the south during 80's my late father educated me and ultimately influenced my love & admiration of all American muscle! My favorite being the Chevelle SS
Thanks for sharing your unique experience. As others have posted, the cost to restore those cars would be more than what they would be worth after the restoration. Their "asset value" would be in certain hard to find and high value original parts that some of them still have. If the cars were from the southwest and essentially rust free and straight, the restoration equation may make more sense. If they had intact original drive trains that would definitely make a difference.
Yeah old school Love it, definite Half to bring back that 68 Z 28 Camaro to life, that would be awesome. I'll watch for appreciate you sharing. Super cool
GaryLordsWayMinistry don’t think the tractor trailers will run out of the gate like livestock. And yes I didn’t grow up in the country and some say I’m fairly slick. Thanks for watching.
Man, that ‘69 Chevelle and ‘68 Camaro are restorable but I’m not sure how much of the original cars would be left. Those A-pillars and cowls are held together with hopes and dreams. Minus the emotional attachment, it would make more sense to cut the tags and anything that makes them special and put them on replacement bodies...shame, these were stored away a little too late.
I believe too many people are into the 67 to 69 camaros....everyone has one. Het something a little less common, like an old 40 model truck next to one and I'll take the truck.
Remember a few years back there was another stash of muscle cars put away they were put away when we could buy them with working man's money keep videos going enjoy your work !!!
I love your videos dude,.....very relaxing to watch.........My very first car was a 1972 Javelin SST...304 and my second was a 1972 Rally Nova...350.......So much fun to drive.
Was hoping you’d get into the Firebird. Really like those early birds. Thing I noticed about the way the owner stored them was the better condition cars were uncovered in the elements and the mostly rotted cars were hidden. Most likely embarrassed how he maintained them.
Rusty Iron Projects R.I.P I like those F body cars. Firebirds of that era just looked badass; especially with the twin snorkel formula hood on ‘em. Hard to beat that all around general appearance. I at one time had a ‘69 Custom S. Sure wish I still did.
@@electrichellion5946 ya you can't beat these early fire birds, can't wait to get started on ours. Should start work on it soon, will post video as we get it. Can't wait to get it running.
Your dedication to muscle car restoration is so deeply embedded in your blood that just discovering rides like this apparently is enough of a thrill to call them 'really nice'.......just for the fact that they still exist....even if they're utterly disintegrating.
Amazing how you find these awesome cars. I have to admit, I'm addicted to the initial rush of discovery too. Of course owning and driving one is great too. 😄
@@bradbenner466 your wrong brother, 10-20 yrs ago, yes, but not now, you'd shit yourself if I told you how much $I've made in the last 5 yrs selling shit 60's cars and trucks!
I love cars. My dream car is the 68 Chevelle. If I could even drive a car I would own one but I can’t because I have Muscular Dystrophy. I have never even driven a car. I have had 2 vans that were set up for me to drive but I don’t have one anymore. I miss driving but I always dreamed of having a Chevelle.
father inlaw has one Canary yellow been sitting in the barn for 20 years + it was ther when I started dating his daughter 18 years ago lol, married now I remember moving it inside that old barn smh, Just needs put together its in good condition for as long as its been sitting.
I disagree, the trucks would be worth quite a bit and some of them looked complete and in fair shape. The cars though were just rusted out piles of shit. Not even worth anything as scrap metal.
That is so sad seeing those Chevelle’s sitting there like that..I’ve seen worse than those being fully done over...and that ‘69 is a dream car of mine...I’ve been as Chevy man all my life and my two favorites is the ‘64 Impala and the ‘69 Chevelle....the body styles are second to none....I had to sub this channel...i LOVE barn finds especially these ones with fine old Chevys....
Dale M; My first car was a brand new 65' Impala. Actually, I bought it when the 66' models came out but, I was the first owner. It was Tahitian Turquoise with a light Blue interior. The first thing I did was to put dual exhaust on it. Cherry bomb mufflers, chrome exhaust tips, chrome reverse trims and, a few other accessories like a 4 Track tape player. I loved that car and it bothered a lot when I traded it in on the 69' Chevelle SS. Oh, if foresight was a sharp as hindsight, wouldn't we all be geniuses?
i inherited a ‘69 chevelle from my uncle. he’d built a 454 for it, it’s going to be my first car and i plan on driving it to next school year, if not this year. all it needs is a gas tank, some plumbing, and a carburetor to be put back on. i’ve realized that i’m really lucky with what my uncle left me.
@@andrewmaddalena12 I have a cousin who bought a new 70' Chevelle with the 454 CI engine. Less than 300 miles on the Odometer and he totaled it. Be careful my friend. Those horses can get away from you mighty fast. Congratulations on a Classic.
Did you ever find out if the original engines were on the premises? Sadly, The 68 Z28 would be almost impossible to authenticate without its matching vin stamped 302 , and docs. Unfortunately the 68 camaro trim tags don't tell nearly as much option details as the 67's did. Its too bad that the HIPO camaros can't be I.D.ed solely by their VINS, as some cars can. I've been hoping to stumble on a previously undiscovered 67 Z28 for years. Maybe someday..
I can only imagine how magnificent a brand new yeller chevelle looked rolling off the assembly line. Such a beast of a motor too. I bet he had a girlfriend for every night of the week!
@@davidmaggard2796 ...I'm in the process of checking, but I think the Daytona yellow Chevelle was mine....last I heard it was in KY, and everything matches, down to the 375hp, bench seat, and tilt wheel.. NCRC has records of the vin that went to particular dealers.....guess I could check the back seat for DNA!
thanks guy for showing us all you forgot .you also forgot to ask the guy if you could look round his trucks .by the way your doing a grand job looking round old yards .
Every one is missing the motor and trans and beyond that they all need complete, high level restoration. Personally There’s no money there unless they are free
I call that treasure hunting, not the best condition cars but just hunting for old cars that were left to be forgotten is so much fun. I've seen videos they find a brand new oldschool still with plastic on the seats in trailers, amazing site to see.!
Southern Ties SxS I hate people like that, if you acquire a project like that and it sits more than 2 years in your possession more than likely either you never had the money to restore it or you lost interest and it now became a dream that will never see the road and you keep it because you think some miracle will get it done for you🙄
Unfortunately that's where you get the best material for restorations. The cleanest cars and most complete corpses usually get snatched up by people that never intend to let them go because of some selfish mental or emotional reason. It's either the crusty old hermit that snatched up a lot of muscle cars, or the little old lady that held onto a classic landyacht, only driving it to church once a week for 50 years so the interior is spotless and it's got low miles.
The Black Cherry Chevelle with the trunk sticker "HAROLD SOUTHTOWN" was a Chevrolet dealer in Bloomington Minnesota. I bought a 1971 Corvette from them in 1971. They are still in business as another dealer, still Chevrolet/GMC. They have been in the same location since the mid 60's, when the shopping center "SOUTHTOWN" was built, THe shopping center is still thriving. The shopping center and Chevrolet dealer are in the SouthWest corner of the intersection of I35W and I494. I grew up within walking didtance of Dealership and shopping center..
I love that Firebird, 70 Chevelle is #1, but even the auctions you don't see many Firebirds offered up. 67,68..etc. I think they're underrated. My childhood cars are 70 SS Chevelle, 69 383 4barrel 4sp Superbee & 70 Mach 1 Mustang, 351 Cleveland, factory hurst 4 speed, grabber green, black louvers.. Those are my 3 favorite family/friend cars. My brother bought the 70 Mach 1 new in 70', and my friends brother had the Superbee & later the car I fell in love with the 70' SS 396 Chevelle.
I enjoy how you take a walk around and find interesting cars, not just in this video. If it wasn't for the things hiding in the grass I could spend days walking about in junkyards. Nice video, thank you and the property owner.
Thanks for watching

Nice find. I like it when the people sell those cars so someone can restore them before it becomes to late.
They will be restored for sure.
Just when I think you can't find anymore chevelles... up comes a new video... Thanks for your expertise...
Thanks for watching
Man Patrick I’m so glad you get to discover all this and share it with the world. Thank you thank you thank yoi
Its always been there he didn't actually discover it more like exposed it to UA-cam.
Love the 69 Chevelle..I have a Daytona yellow 69 L78..love it..Thanks for the video bud.👍
One cool and rare muscle machine
@@patrickglennnicholsmusclec1674 thanks bud
Putting cars in trailers is a good idea. Unfortunately when the trailer has a massive hole in the roof, its not going to protect that car inside.
That would be true.
Unfortunately when its sitting for 15 years it isnt well protected either.
I sure hope Patrick makes a purchase on that Daytona Yellow Chevelle !!!!!!!!!!! that car is a beaut and a real GEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! and most likely would look good sitting in Patricks Driveway !!!!
It’s not currently for sale.

Not everyone is rich, just keeping your everyday work vehicle operating is expensive
Thanks for doing the legwork and videoing these cars! My fave is the Firebird- wish you could have shown more!
Thank you for watching. I’ll try to document a rare firebird in the future,
I was digging the 68 Firebird, during the video I was like "go check out the Pontiac" thanks PGN.
Same here man lol.... 67
Me to... He didn't even raise the hood on the Firebird
Cool firebird but I was trying to cover some ground and it was tough to get to. The cars were packed in there tightly.

one day when the owner that hoards all that stuff up passes away, the kids just scrap everything because they don't have an interest.

Yep, 18 cents per pound scrap metal!
A good time to catch up to the children cause the owner obviously can't afford to do a restoration and scared someone else will.
Tell me about it
Maybe so.

If the cars were from the southwest and essentially rust free and straight, the restoration equation may make more sense. If they had intact original drive trains that would definitely make a difference.
They make sense and will be restored. There’s a market for all rare muscle.
Prices have sky rocketed the rare ones definitely warrant restorations
Yeah old school Love it, definite Half to bring back that 68 Z 28 Camaro to life, that would be awesome. I'll watch for appreciate you sharing. Super cool
Thanks for watching
You should have closed the gate when you entered the property; City slicker. I would have looked in all the containers too.
GaryLordsWayMinistry don’t think the tractor trailers will run out of the gate like livestock. And yes I didn’t grow up in the country and some say I’m fairly slick. Thanks for watching.

Free advice. You get what you pay for with Gary.
Thanks for taking us on a journey, was really cool seeing those cars......
Thanks for watching.
You’re very welcome
That is the kind of place that will get you full of buck shot if you don't have permission to be there.
Exactly
Iron *Fe* you never know.
@Iron *Fe* aren't you the same one that wants to shoot innocent crow's
@Iron *Fe* you sick sob you 😱
Really enjoyed this thank you Patrick !
Thank you for your support.
You just made my day with this, Camaro's and Chevelle's I love!
Thanks for watching.
Patrick has all the fun..keep it up dude.!!
Thank you sir. Yes I’m having a lot of fun.
Great Coverage brother! Damn shame they didn't have the original engines and transmissions.
They are stored by the owner.
@@patrickglennnicholsmusclec1674 that is good to know!
Drool worthy right there. That 73 Camaro was a beauty. Loved the stripes and the emblem. That gen Camaro has became my favorite.
Very cool
Man, that ‘69 Chevelle and ‘68 Camaro are restorable but I’m not sure how much of the original cars would be left. Those A-pillars and cowls are held together with hopes and dreams. Minus the emotional attachment, it would make more sense to cut the tags and anything that makes them special and put them on replacement bodies...shame, these were stored away a little too late.
I believe too many people are into the 67 to 69 camaros....everyone has one. Het something a little less common, like an old 40 model truck next to one and I'll take the truck.
1st gens are cool
@@riansides2081 I've always liked the '60 Impala Sport Coupé.
Who knew Matthew McConaughey is so knowledgeable about Chevelles.
I didn’t know that either.
Nobody has got any tears for all those old trucks and traliers !
I saw that old KW that need to be restored.
👍🏻
Cool video. First time watching
Thanks for watching.
Love it good work I love digging through junk yards like that you hear about places like that but you rarely see them just awesome
Thanks for watching
Remember a few years back there was another stash of muscle cars put away they were put away when we could buy them with working man's money keep videos going enjoy your work !!!
Thanks for your support.
to a lot of people these may seem like junk but to us they are really nice cars.
Im guilty of calling it junk. I think the way i see it is i just want to drive a car and service it. Not do all the resto. I love old cars.
I love your videos dude,.....very relaxing to watch.........My very first car was a 1972 Javelin SST...304 and my second was a 1972 Rally Nova...350.......So much fun to drive.
Was hoping you’d get into the Firebird. Really like those early birds. Thing I noticed about the way the owner stored them was the better condition cars were uncovered in the elements and the mostly rotted cars were hidden. Most likely embarrassed how he maintained them.
Just picked up a 72 firebird last year....Getting harder to find.
I’m not sure.
Rusty Iron Projects R.I.P I like those F body cars. Firebirds of that era just looked badass; especially with the twin snorkel formula hood on ‘em. Hard to beat that all around general appearance. I at one time had a ‘69 Custom S. Sure wish I still did.
@@electrichellion5946 ya you can't beat these early fire birds, can't wait to get started on ours. Should start work on it soon, will post video as we get it. Can't wait to get it running.
Your dedication to muscle car restoration is so deeply embedded in your blood that just discovering rides like this apparently is enough of a thrill to call them 'really nice'.......just for the fact that they still exist....even if they're utterly disintegrating.
That was a cool firetruck
I agree!!!
That was Awesome for this guy to let you look around Thanks for Sharing
Thanks for watching.
Like those Oldsmobiles Patrick!
Please show them off also
Will do next time
Adding to the earlier comment you know your cars. Wow impressive loved walking with your commentary.😎
The Daytona Yellow 69 is definitely worth restoring, even without it's original motor.
There is a few I would save without the OM
I agree
Calling those cars rough is an understatement to say the least LOL but good video
1st car Harold Chev/Southtown was a Minnesota dealer.
Thanks for the info.
Harold Chevrolet was located in Bloomington MN corner of 494 & 35W.
My first car out of high school in 1975 was a 1969 Chevelle SS 396 4-Speed bench seat in Silver. Way to much car for a kid.
Did you destroy it
That’s what most people thought.
Amazing how you find these awesome cars.
I have to admit, I'm addicted to the initial rush of discovery too.
Of course owning and driving one is great too. 😄
Me too. It’s a very good feeling to find these cars in their long resting spots.
This feller needs to walk through Old Car City in White, Ga. It's enough to make a gearhead burst into tears.
Not having an engine with matching numbers simply makes it a rusting shell.
Engines are present in another building so I was told.
Not so much now days...
Perfect cars for restoration just ask mark worman of graveyard cars. I believe that cars of that nature should be preserved sometimes even at all cost
Exactly.. bunch of rusted junk
@@bradbenner466 your wrong brother, 10-20 yrs ago, yes, but not now, you'd shit yourself if I told you how much $I've made in the last 5 yrs selling shit 60's cars and trucks!
Awesome finds Patrick.
Thanks
Happy to see that they've been saved, but actually, sad to see them sitting in the dark rotting away.
Not exactly
I love cars. My dream car is the 68 Chevelle. If I could even drive a car I would own one but I can’t because I have Muscular Dystrophy. I have never even driven a car. I have had 2 vans that were set up for me to drive but I don’t have one anymore. I miss driving but I always dreamed of having a Chevelle.
That old firebird is extremely rare even original will sell in a heartbeat it's a 68 convertible they are extremely rare for a firebird
father inlaw has one Canary yellow been sitting in the barn for 20 years + it was ther when I started dating his daughter 18 years ago lol, married now I remember moving it inside that old barn smh, Just needs put together its in good condition for as long as its been sitting.
Definitely a rare firebird conv
Great find Patrick. That black cherry 70 SS has really bad quarters. The yellow 69 is in much better shape.
Very cool cars worth restoring.
Talk about a junkyard. There was nothing but crap in those fields.
And nothing but crap in your bain!
I disagree, the trucks would be worth quite a bit and some of them looked complete and in fair shape. The cars though were just rusted out piles of shit. Not even worth anything as scrap metal.
👍🏻
Love the videos and great finds
🤔 If you have DEEP POCKETS LIKE THE GRAND CANYON ! Then yes anything is possible ... Great Videos New to your channel ....😎🇺🇸
There’s a market for everything
As always another great video
Thanks for watching.
That is so sad seeing those Chevelle’s sitting there like that..I’ve seen worse than those being fully done over...and that ‘69 is a dream car of mine...I’ve been as Chevy man all my life and my two favorites is the ‘64 Impala and the ‘69 Chevelle....the body styles are second to none....I had to sub this channel...i LOVE barn finds especially these ones with fine old Chevys....
Dale M; My first car was a brand new 65' Impala. Actually, I bought it when the 66' models came out but, I was the first owner. It was Tahitian Turquoise with a light Blue interior. The first thing I did was to put dual exhaust on it. Cherry bomb mufflers, chrome exhaust tips, chrome reverse trims and, a few other accessories like a 4 Track tape player.
I loved that car and it bothered a lot when I traded it in on the 69' Chevelle SS. Oh, if foresight was a sharp as hindsight, wouldn't we all be geniuses?
i inherited a ‘69 chevelle from my uncle. he’d built a 454 for it, it’s going to be my first car and i plan on driving it to next school year, if not this year. all it needs is a gas tank, some plumbing, and a carburetor to be put back on. i’ve realized that i’m really lucky with what my uncle left me.
@@andrewmaddalena12 I have a cousin who bought a new 70' Chevelle with the 454 CI engine. Less than 300 miles on the Odometer and he totaled it.
Be careful my friend. Those horses can get away from you mighty fast.
Congratulations on a Classic.
Harrison Mantooth
Ain’t that the truth....lol
I agree the 64 Chevy and 69 Chevelle are all time favorites.
Another amazing video from Matthew McConaughey. All right... All right... All right😎
Lol
Did you ever find out if the original engines were on the premises? Sadly, The 68 Z28 would be almost impossible to authenticate without its matching vin stamped 302 , and docs. Unfortunately the 68 camaro trim tags don't tell nearly as much option details as the 67's did. Its too bad that the HIPO camaros can't be I.D.ed solely by their VINS, as some cars can. I've been hoping to stumble on a previously undiscovered 67 Z28 for years. Maybe someday..
The owner has the original engines to these cars stored in another location.
Awesome. Love your videos
Thanks for your support.
I can only imagine how magnificent a brand new yeller chevelle looked rolling off the assembly line. Such a beast of a motor too. I bet he had a girlfriend for every night of the week!
I agree I always liked the yellow.69 Daytona .yellow color iv always been a chevelle nut no matter .ss mal 300 elco. Love them all
I’m sure that was the game plan lol,
@@davidmaggard2796 ...I'm in the process of checking, but I think the Daytona yellow Chevelle was mine....last I heard it was in KY, and everything matches, down to the 375hp, bench seat, and tilt wheel.. NCRC has records of the vin that went to particular dealers.....guess I could check the back seat for DNA!
@@jimliechty2983 😂😂😂😂
You never know
thanks guy for showing us all you forgot .you also forgot to ask the guy if you could look round his trucks .by the way your doing a grand job looking round old yards .
Jonathan Crone thank you sir for watching and for your support.
They're all Autobots, waiting for Optimus...! 💯💙
Lol
Great video love watching your channel
Thanks for your support.
Every one is missing the motor and trans and beyond that they all need complete, high level restoration. Personally There’s no money there unless they are free
Agreed. Totally gone. Way not worth the time and trouble to restore. Really not a whole lot of good parts either. Great stories though for sure.
Engines are there too.
I call that treasure hunting, not the best condition cars but just hunting for old cars that were left to be forgotten is so much fun. I've seen videos they find a brand new oldschool still with plastic on the seats in trailers, amazing site to see.!
I agree and thanks for watching.
To bad the owner will probably never sell them to be saved and just let them rot .....
Southern Ties SxS I hate people like that, if you acquire a project like that and it sits more than 2 years in your possession more than likely either you never had the money to restore it or you lost interest and it now became a dream that will never see the road and you keep it because you think some miracle will get it done for you🙄
Unfortunately that's where you get the best material for restorations.
The cleanest cars and most complete corpses usually get snatched up by people that never intend to let them go because of some selfish mental or emotional reason.
It's either the crusty old hermit that snatched up a lot of muscle cars, or the little old lady that held onto a classic landyacht, only driving it to church once a week for 50 years so the interior is spotless and it's got low miles.
They won’t rot
The Black Cherry Chevelle with the trunk sticker "HAROLD SOUTHTOWN" was a Chevrolet dealer in Bloomington Minnesota. I bought a 1971 Corvette from them in 1971. They are still in business as another dealer, still Chevrolet/GMC. They have been in the same location since the mid 60's, when the shopping center "SOUTHTOWN" was built, THe shopping center is still thriving. The shopping center and Chevrolet dealer are in the SouthWest corner of the intersection of I35W and I494. I grew up within walking didtance of Dealership and shopping center..
That’s cool.
Sickened me seeing my dream car in that state.
I understand
Yes mine too. What can you do. I would spend some bands to have an authentic car like those
I love that Firebird, 70 Chevelle is #1, but even the auctions you don't see many Firebirds offered up.
67,68..etc. I think they're underrated.
My childhood cars are 70 SS Chevelle, 69 383 4barrel 4sp Superbee & 70 Mach 1 Mustang, 351 Cleveland, factory hurst 4 speed, grabber green, black louvers.. Those are my 3 favorite family/friend cars.
My brother bought the 70 Mach 1 new in 70', and my friends brother had the Superbee & later the car I fell in love with the 70' SS 396 Chevelle.
Me too.
