Red AMX is still sitting there. Solid car with exception of the damaged right fender. Only problem and why I do not own the car is the fact that he does not have a title.

I passed on all the Camaro's. They were CHEAP however they needed LOT'S of work and storage would be an issue with so many of them 3-69 coupes (1-Z/28), 1-67 convertible and 2 1/2 68 convertibles. The 69 Chevelle is in a junkyard and can be bought but the car had nothing I needed. I have offer's out on the 70 T/A and the 68 Firebird convertible so we are still dickering. By the way, the 70 T/A is a Blue/Blue 4 speed and man is it ROUGH! Been sitting there since 1981!

Not shown in the pictures are other cars I have found such as a 69 Corvette coupe under a bunch of junk that's been sitting 10 years, a 67Firebird convertible buried in a garage, a 1 owner 1970 Olds 442 Pace Car convertible sitting since 1985 which I bought, a 1970 GTO convertible with 50K miles (expensive) and several 70 Chevelles. I am still amazed when you get out riding around and asking a few questions what you can find!

The rest of the stuff has been bought and is starting to stack up. The 63 vette in the weeds has not been tied up yet but I am working on it. The 64 Vette on the trailer was today's prize. Got the body, one original rolling frame, a second frame, a new front-end and all the pieces to the car in one trip on the trailer. I am amazed how far people have the ability to take things apart.

The Black Buick was purchased from the original lady owner who was 59years old when she purchased the car new. She parked it in 96 when she thought the turbo was going down. It was not going bad, the car had 83K miles. One of here sons decided to start to restore the car after that and nothing happened until they sold the car to me. The car has been disassembled and repainted. The car is totally stock as far as the mechanics and is now in the completion process. I have added Trans Am GTA wheels with black centers. This totally transforms the cars appearance. Those stock GN wheels wheels are UGLY!

Concerning the Camaro's. I will check with Steve and see where he "now" stands as far as the Camaro's. He has already started on the yellow 67 convertible and has plans for the blue 69 hit in the nose.

nice. It's always fun to find that stuff. I just wish I had the room!....and money :(.
I recently found out a co-worker's friend's dad( no really) has a collection of 30 corvettes in a warehouse space behind his house. Apparently ALL BIG BLOCKS and in decent condition. Plys a '53. Treasures are still out there for sure.

I just love the older olds and buick muscle cars, let me know if you find a 2 dr 71-74 Buick apollo or Ponitac Ventura.
