lol i noticed that and was like ugh lol

[Code Red]

UPDATE!!!!!

im getting closer

car has a bit more over growth lol

a neighbor down the road gave me the name of the guy who owns the property and said he has cameras setup around there

I did see a truck parked there but no answer at the door

So i left a note on the windshield of his truck

I checked the car out more

Car does have a rearend and drivetrain but no valve covers or intake but not worried about those

so mainly I would just need wheels

anyone know if 96 Camaro wheels will bolt up?

going to try to find a phone number since I got a address and name now

[Mr.VENGEANCE]

hell yeah!!

[rohrt]

Is that Mary Jane I see growing next to the car?

[HILLBILLY68]

men that's how it looks in KY everytime i head back home.
Those 96 rims will bolt stright up on the car, had a set on my 68 once.

sad news guys

well the guy got my note and contacted my grandmother and said he isnt interested in selling the car at this time as he may restore it (which means it will continue to sit there) but my grandma did tell him if he does sell to give her a call

so I guess i'm going to try for this 79 TA

[bingham72]

Call him back just to thank him for the message. Talk to him about the car and what you would do to it. Restore it to pristine condition, etc. Talk about the car and not about buying it just to show you are interested. Then talk about another one you found and the own didn't want to sell it either. But by the time you got back around, a tree fell on it and destroyed it. Appeal to his desire to restore the car. Most people like that don't have the means, but if you could paint a picture of the finished product with a promise to bring it by when it's done, he might be willing to part with it.

Sounds like he'll die with it and it'll rust away. I know it's mean, but sometimes I kinda wish someone would make the car "disappear".

That's actually a great idea.

I'll keep checking back on the care but I guess for now I'll get the 79 TA another guy offered me and see if I can turn a profit on it

[69TAPoser]

Ugh. I don't understand people like that. You here stories like this way too frequently. It pains me to see a muscle car sitting like that.

Personally, if you really want the Camaro, I would stay on him. You haven't even spoken directly with him yet. Persistence and patience usually wins in this situation. I would try to actually meet with him to have a discussion face to face. And bring cash. As we all know, money talks.

Good luck with both of them. Sometimes the hunt is as fun as the kill.

I can't tell you how many times I've run across a car sitting like that and before I contact the owner I'll usually tell a wife/buddy "hey, wanna bet on what his response will be?"

Almost every single time it's "Nah, I'm gonna restore it one day" and I can drive by there a year or two later and it's still sitting.

I was working in an area a couple of years ago. This guy had a very clean original 67 Camaro in his yard, after driving by it for months I saw him in the yard and asked if he wanted to sell it...got the normal response. Fast forward a few years and I was in the area again, noticed the car was gone and he was in the yard again. Stopped and asked him what happened to the Camaro. He told me that I got him to thinking about selling it (real slow apparently) and he had just sold it about a month earlier for $500!!!

I wanted to choke him on the spot.

My point is this...you've put the bug in his ear, now stop by and visit about once a month...ask if he needs some help clearing the growth from around the car (wear snake boots), keep showing interest and I'll bet you will own it.

Even if you don't buy it someone here sure would...don't let it rot!
