Here's some muscle that's not to
muscular anymore. The 68 El-Camino belongs to a friend of mine who
bought the car new, parked in the 80's, got a divorce and had to move the
cars. After a year this is what's left. I'd offered to buy the
elkie many times, to the same old story of going to fix it one day.
The 56 disappeared and the Olds became a parts car as well as the Camino
did. Frodo |
I found this jem in a field in South
Eastern Saskatchewan. It had been stored for 13 years in a barn then put
out on the prairie to rot for the last 4 years. It has a 455 balanced
and blue printed with 455 plus horsepower, a 4 speed with a Hurst shifter,
rear spoiler and W-25 ram air hood. The list goes on. Needless to
say, It's mine now and I will be restoring it. Rick |
I heard a rumor of a rat-powered
Chevelle SS-396 in my girlfriend's family. When we went to her brothers
wedding in rural PA this fall, her father arranged for me to see his 1st
cousin's Chevelle. It has been sitting in his tool shed on his farm
since Aug. 84. The first words out of his mouth were "it is not for
sale!". He bought it in 71 after it had be repossessed. It has the
original 325 horse engine, M-20 4-speed, 4:10 posi, red with black vinyl top
and black bucket seat interior with console. Interior is in excellent
condition. Just at 100,000 miles. He keeps the tires inflated and
said he pushed it outside and washed it off 10 years ago. The tool shed
is dry at least and I could spot only one pencil eraser sized rust spot on the
drivers door. There were plenty of bird droppings and hornets nest on
it. He is single with no kids. The car will sit there forever
according to my girlfriend's father. |
These 2 Vette's are located in my
hometown in Central California. The red vette has been sitting outside
since the early 80's. I remember the owner used to drive the black one
around town in the 80's. It has sat from at least 1990. |
