They may have actually made great cars if they were kept in barns. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif[/img]

I only see a steering wheel to use on the kids go-Kart and flat bottom skiff that may float. Everything else looks like worthless junk and boat anchors.

They call that &quot;seasoning&quot; the block by letting it sit out in the weather for a decade or two. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Approaching a "Musclecar hoarder",
 

Alot of those parts (blocks, etc) are probably shot. Full of water over the years etc. Doesn't look like there is too much $$$$$ there.

Re: Approaching a "Musclecar hoarder",
 

Heres the latest. hes going to get block numbers off motors. and we ll bring them here to my barn. Hes decided that even if cars are junk, the parts can live on...So, I guess I ll be the caretaker of these projects. As fer the Berger, he thinks its too far gone. I mentioned the whole cloning, rebody thing. He said, it was his &quot;baby&quot;, and hed rather cut it up, vin/ tags title and all, than to have it &quot; bastardized...We do know one of the 427 is a IU code. it has bosses by the oil filter. the CE block is a 1969, and the others are 396/402/427 blocks.
theres also a 2 hi po 409`s, a lo po 409, lots of finned BBC valve covers. and he thinks, 30 plus pair of BBC heads. My 15 yr old and I plan on getting this stuff out of the barns and semi trucks ASAP..He trusts me, and wants the parts to live on...not cloned...I could use ANY ADVISE here...hes a lil touched in the head, these parts deserv e good homes. So, we ll try to clean them up and tag everything. I understand some of your concerns on it being junk, and concern of cloning, rest assured, the cars will be parted out before cloning or mis representing them will happen.

I m just tryin to help him out and save as much as we can. I cannot afford a Yenco, or my dream 1969 Camaro right now, Id prefer to put 2 boys thru college. Maybe I can help someone find the needed parts to keep these classics alive. We went to the muscle car show in Chicago and drooled..You guys put on a grea tshow, and lots of advise on here.

Re: Approaching a "Musclecar hoarder",
 

Scott, When the time comes, if you post the casting numbers, casting dates and stampings from the 409s, I can help properly identify them so they can be accurately described when the time comes to sell. Also, the completeness of each motor is very important in determining a fair value.

Re: Approaching a "Musclecar hoarder",
 

Post up pics of the engine pads and we can help ID the blocks.
