Sad and depressing

[Evldoer]

I was told about 8 years ago by someone I know about a guy in my area who had a boat load of first gen camaros at his place rusting away. He would never tell me where they were, but I didn't really pursue it that hard either. Well guess what, today I finally found them. He has 30, that's thirty first gen f-bodies on his property rusting away. 67 to 69 Camaros and Firebirds. I didn't look at them too hard, but did see one big block 69 camaro.
He said they are all for sale, 1000$ each. The kicker is that he will only sell them all to one guy. And he says he has titles for them all.They have all been sitting for way to long, and are in bad shape.

I'm willing to put money with anyone else to buy all of them. Split them up accordingly. I figure $5000 each person, 6 people total. Group buy if you will.

wisconsin?... those bodies are all coral reef now... even the guy that owns them is useless.

just take a moment of silence for those poor potentials..

There's a guy a few miles from me with over 20 first gens sitting rotting away. They too are in bad shape and some were original big block cars. He has garages full of parts, some NOS. 10 years ago the cars could have been worth something, but he wants way too much. A few years back he got into some trouble & I was able to buy a big block 4psd 69 camaro convertible w 56K original miles, all numbers matching. 350hp 396. Last I saw a few years ago they were all still there. At least your guy is reasonable on the prices. If you were closer I'd be in for 5 without hesitation. Hopefully someone gets these. Sucks to see this.

Is this the yard in East Troy by chance?

[rickpaw]

For $1k, I'd be in for 2. Group buy?

[NJSPEEDER]

I would be interested in jumping in on a car or two.

Are they all Camaros or are there some birds mixed in as well?

[BMR Sales]

I'd be in for a Couple!

No the yard in East troy doesnt have much as far as desirable cars. Alot of 4 door parts cars

Id be willing to put together a group buy here, but I would have to definitely go back and give these cars a thorough inspection. I didnt look them over real good because there was so much iron there. It was very overwhelming, to say the least.

I cant help but wonder how much of a mess that would turn into though.

[WallaceMFG]

They don't look good in the pictures, but I'm sure that some of them are in good enough shape to be saved. Hopefully they can be rescued

[bobcat68]

I like to get in on this, But how would it be decided who gets what car?

[Nicks67GTO]

I hate to be "that guy" but if there are any complete Z-28's or SS's you might be wise to buy the whole thing just for some high dollar vin tags that you could build a car around and scrap the rest or use them for parts. If this is in Wisconsin they are swiss cheese.

I hate seeing this type of crap. No one and I mean NO ONE is ever going to build 30 cars unless they are powerball millionaires that don't have a job and are blessed piles of money. Even then I don't see someone building 30 cars. Why not let someone else have a crack at them? If you want to have some parts cars laying around, please feel free but let me guess....he never built a one of them he bought? Oh well its all over but they crying. RIP 1st gen cars.

[MuscleRodz]

Even in horrible shape the camaros are worth $1000 each easy. Can't say that for the birds though. I would be in if I was closer. looks like a lot of work just to get them out.

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

[Evldoer]

I want to get back out there next week. I have to do some research on f bodies and what to look for as far as value goes and decoding vins and cowl tags. I've never been a camaro nut so I need to do some reading. I can already see that a lot of time is going to need to be invested here.

[Auto Rod Technologies]

WOW.. What a shame..
