how long did Paul own it here?

The guy that bought my WW5 has a White/White original paint 4sp that he said he's had since he was 16, he was probably 35 when we spoke. Sounds like there's a couple of these cars in the same area.

Yes, it’s got to be a different car. This one came from the Rochester area and the original owner had it and sold it to the guy in California believe it was under 20,000 miles on the car.

Hello everyone! I have some new registries for everyone,
Ex/Current WNY Wing Cars!
Plenty of Superbirds and Daytonas around the 716 and 585 back in the day and now!

tons of Daytonas delivered new
a green one (XX29L9B356528) that sold new T Transitowne Dodge which stayed here in a barn for decades
an orange car (XX29L9B390024) which was delivered new to McEvoy Dodge
A custom one which was done up in some really cool 1970s paint jobs in period and was delivered new at McEvoy Dodge (XX29L9B356532)
Besides the Orange car and the Custom car, rochester had 5 cars I think (7 total)
XX29L9B356516, Lake Ave Dodge
XX29L9B379753, Culver Dodge
XX29L9B381554, McEvoy Dodge
XX29L9B386671, McEvoy Dodge
XX29L9B386570, McEvoy Dodge
XX29L9B405179, Culver Dodge

there were a couple not new too
A Hemi car from Bob Bs collection in Rochester (XX29J9B412548)
Bob also had an orange 440 car, super nice
Another orange one (XX29L9B383272) which was here for a couple years in the 2010s
There is a blue one here (XX29L9B402967) with a really wild story I haven’t gotten into yet, the owner is a really nice guy

Anyway, the Superbirds
There were a ton here new, Steve battaglia had a bunch, he had a couple blue ones and yellow one and 2 white one, one which was the last Superbird made (RM23V0A172609) (I don’t have vins on the rest) but his collection was cool!
Bob B comes back up again, he had a Yellow hemi car and a white Hemi car (which i don’t have vinformation on) he also had a green Hemi Superbird (RM23R0A172604) and a Petty Blue 440 car (RM23V0A169498)
RM23U175685 was an Orange car delivered new to Webster NY and came out in 2016 and sold out of state
RM23U0A161580 was an Orange 440 727 car, local for a few years, sold out of a great muscle car collection in 2020, same owner recently bought a pistol grip green U-Code car (RM23U0A175663) and he’s been showing it at the cars and coffees at the Little Speed Shop, really amazing car I’ve seen it around
A yellow one (RM23V0A170886) that was for sale at a dealer in Jamestown a year ago
RM23V0A171626 Sold new in Westfield and sold out of WNY in 1983
There was also another white one that sold new at Canandaiguia Motors and stayed until Legendary Motorcar sold it maybe 8 or so years ago
RM23U0A165379 is a white one that has been local to Niagara Falls I think since 2015, was for sale Basil Chevrolet
RM23U0A165435 along with a yellow car were the 2 Superbirds infamously in the basement in Rochester for decades

There’s definitely cars I’m missing, I think Basil had a Daytona new, and dozens of Superbirds I know I don’t know about yet
Those are the wing cars, sometime this week I’ll do the other hemi cars, I’ll have to cut some since there’s just so many.
Happy reading! And happy holidays!

That’s the one! Brought to WNY in 2015, they had it originally listed at 245k maybe 6 months or so ago, they tried it on Bring a Trailer and got humbled with the bids, so it’s 199k now, which Is still a lot for a car of that history.

My 69 gold RAIII 4 speed Judge is still in Calif.Will find the vin and post.It was a cover car for the OPG catalog.Tom

That color is absolutely gorgeous! What’s the name of the color? I don’t think I’ve seen another GTO in that color

70 Black L78 TH400 Nova...
 

I want to say how much I appreciate this thread...it has lead to some great contacts who knew our black Nova back in the day. Having fun 'bench racing' with folks about this car. Plan to start a new thread on our winter project with this Nova...stay tuned.

-wilma:worship:

The last 6 on the gold Judge is 127826.Cant find the PHS,im sure Matt can tell us the factory color.I bought the car because of the color.Someone over time had painted the Judge red.I had it done back to the original color.Tom

It's Antique Gold, code 65, same as Olympic Gold (Chevrolet).

Thanks Kurt.Tom

I'm really liking this thread. I'm from Rochester originally as well as my cars. I love what you're finding. Keep digging!! :headbang:

Agreed. I’m not from New York, but I too am enjoying this thread.

Back on this thread after the holidays with a pretty cool find. No doubt the single rarest muscle car western New York has ever seen. So rare it almost doesn’t exist (I don’t think it was supposed to anyway)

One of 3 (I’ve seen 3 but I could be wrong) 1967 Plymouth Hemi Satellite

Here’s an article about it

https://www.440magnum.com/mopars/200...atellite.shtml

[ATTACH]Attachment 275383[/ATTACH]

Found this car while calling on a customer - inside the lobby in Wayland,NY. No gas tank or battery due to its being inside a building

Cant say I've seen very many of these in this color, is this part of a collection? looks worn but still nice. Didn't stray far from where it was delivered either! love to see it!

My 70 L78 Camaro sold new at Heinrich in Rochester and apparently spent it's entire life in that area. I bought it as a project from a guy who said he bought it from the OO's son in 1999 but didn't have a name or contact info. He did say the OO may have been a mechanic at Heinrich during the time, but that's all conjecture. Originally Shadow Gray, it was at some point, painted black and had a 3-pc spoiler added. Sure wish I could find some history on this car. Anyone remember a Shadow Gray or Black 70 L78 Camaro running around the Rochester area?

When did it go to auction? 13k miles Black/Black 429 was probably worth some change even a decade ago.

If I recall, a member here owns a low-mile original paint black 429 mustang. Wonder if it is the same car?

AUWrestling is Matt I believe.. he would know precisely . IIRC he was involved directly with Tom on that.

1969 Boss black 429 Mustang
 

It left western New York in 2013. It was sold as a used car at Delaware sports car used car dealer in Buffalo in the early 70s on Delaware Avenue between Hertel and Tacoma. I lived behind the lot on the next street.

Cutlass W-31
 

WOW What a great thread! Some very cool stuff. I'd like to share that we are resurrecting a 1969 Cutlass W-31 bought new in Camden NY at Walters Chevy/Olds. Originally Saffron and completely loaded with options. We have aptly named the car "Mr. Jones" after the original owner, Robert Jones from Oneida NY who purchased it new while in the Navy. Maybe someone recalls the car or Bob Jones? (I know, very common name).
also, for those interested , there's a ton of videos on this project on our YouTube channel, The Auto Refinery.
Looking forward to more stories on this thread.
-steve

i had no idea youre car was in NY... ive watched quite a few of the YT vids you posted. big fan of W-31 cars.. looking forward to more.

‘

When did Mr. Jones’ take delivery of his W31/was it a Demo/what options specifically?
:beers:

Here’s a few random but cool Western NY Ads I spotted while seeking others above.
Any WNY Members wanting to search old Ads for specific vehicles, please speak up w/ details.

yes yes ! smallblockhero This car "Mr.Jones" was originally sold new in NY and is back in NY with me undergoing its' major reconstruction. Thank You so much for taking the time to watch some of our videos. We really do appreciate that!!

WOAH!!!!!!!! This newspaper advertisement is amazing!!!! I called Joe this morning with the news of seeing this post !!!!
As I write this, I am texting with one of the sons of the owner of that dealership - Walters Chevy - Olds. !!!! He tells me that his father loved to "check all the boxes" when ordering these cars. He also mentioned that their dealership was known for the high performance cars that they stocked.
That said, there are some oddities regarding the dates of purchase of our car. While the car was built 4th week of March 1969, and the POP was dated 4/8/69, that POP was not mailed to Robert Jones at the Long Beach Naval Base ( attn. USS FIRM) until 1970 after he purchased it as a new car on 6/19/1970. and that envelope is actually post marked Aug. 20, 1970.
Also ,we do have a typed up invoice from this dealership on 1970 letter head listing every single option the same way they're all listed in this advertisement.
But I guess that without a Vin# listed or even a color, we can only assume that this ad is for our car and that it may, in fact, had been used for a demo until our very own Mr. Jones purchased this car. Unfortunately, the real Mr Jones passed away right around the time my brother purchased the car and therefore we were never able to maker contact with him directly for any specific information.
We are so very thankful that you took the time to locate that ad and to post it. You have done this in the past for me for my '69 F-85 W-31 from Courtesy Olds in Tallahassee Fla.
THANK YOU!! We are always - and I mean always - on the hunt for new information regarding our cars. We absolutely love this stuff!!!

If all options the same, it’s doubtful there was another W31 exactly equipped?
Here’s one Ad from 03/70, the 442 part or W31 a mistake also whoever was creating Walters’ Ads seems to have got the 442 and W31 mixed up in some of their other Ads too.
I'll look deeper and post anything more I see that’s relevant also please ask the Dealer’s son if he wants to search any specific cars or salesman names he remembers.
:beers:
~ Pete

.

Oh!! ?? How many other ads from this dealership for W-31's are you aware of ?
Very interesting that there may have been more than a few sold new there.

‘

Here’s a few more Walters’ Ads, again 442 + W31 mistakenly mixed together makes it tough to know which is what other than 09/69 Ad w/ 400 noted a 442, possibly W30 but not W32 w/ 4-Spd?:hmmm:
Again if Options exact, the 07/69 Ad must be the Mr. Jones car…sorry it’s such a fuzzy copy.
:beers:
~ Pete

.

Ok then! Very cool! Well if nothing else, they (employees writing the ads for Walters) seem to be consistent, as the itemized price sheet we have, typed on 1970 letter head, also references our car to be a Cutlass H Coupe 442 as well as having a locking rear diff, both of which are technically incorrect. hahaha
Thanks again for making these efforts. There is a video from early on in the project where we go over all of the options this car has. I'll figure out which one its is and post a title to that video for anyone interested.
Have great day
-steve

‘

Cruising the above Ads again including mileage noted in some, all but the one from 09/69 w/ 400 powered 442 may actually be for the Mr. Jones car?:hmmm:
Looking forward to the videos etc but being a past owner of a few W-Post cars, would love to hear/see more of your user name 69W31Post!
:beers:
~ Pete

.

Good morning. Yes I'd tend to agree with you. Seems that maybe our car was ordered loaded up and just wasn't a strong seller.
Regarding my F-85 W-31, we have done many videos on and about that car on our channel. If you haven't seen them, I'd like to humbly ask that you take a peak. Some of these topics include, how I came about buying it at 15 years old AND ( this is a big one) we towed it to Florida in April to trace it's history..... It's a 3 part video series. We are so proud of
We met the original owner at the building that was the dealership on the 55th Anniversary of him buying it new. - we made the front page of the Tallahassee paper with that one-!
the 2nd and 3rd parts are just as cool!
I can try and post links to these videos or just look at The Auto Refinery on YouTube and look for that 3 part series . I'd be so honored and appreciative to hear your opinion.
Truth be told, the Mr.Jones project is only some of what we have on our plates over here.
thanks again and looking forward to hearing back after you've checked out some of those stories.
Happy Friday!

Hi Pete , how about any ads listing 1973 Trans Am SD455 cars? Thanks Matt

Black Boss 429 mustang
 

Wow , that’s it and like I said I grew up on the street right behind the Delaware motors lot. We would climb over the fences as kids and check out the cars back in the late 60s and early 70s.

Did you ever talk to your friend?

‘
Quite a few 74’s but three below the only ‘73 SD Ads I saw advertised in NY pre 1980, the 10/77 + 06/79 Ads both appear to be Long Island but 04/78 Buffalo Ad may be one you’re referring to?
Love to hear of any more WNY cars you remember also cool you lived behind Delaware Motors, do you recall ever seeing any SuperBirds there?
:beers:
~ Pete

.

Yes the 73 4spd is my car. That’s the guy I bought it from a 1978.
1973 TA SD455 Red 4spd black deluxe interior and loaded . Here’s a pic a month after getting it home
