Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

I could have bought it for 5K at that time, from what I've heard, it went to Iowa and is being restored.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

It has a very low body number, 19

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

Wow! What a 'hiding spot', what are your plans for it? I know of a Father/Son looking for a Mustang project..... (not me!).

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

I don't think it could have had any more trash on it...LOL

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

The building it was in was the trash dumping grounds for the whole neighborhood for the past 30 years.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

The lot at your place looks like my dads Matt. Quite a cool piece to your collection.

Kinda looks that way [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

Matt, The Corvette Museum should call you for help getting the Corvettes out of the hole!

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

Wow, good save there.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

If the Rib Crib was open it would have been a perfect day. The 96 inch wide 100ft long alley with 79 inch wide truck draging a car with 4 stuck wheels = just another fun saturday morning for Matt and I .

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

Give yourself some credit John. The alley was 90 inches wide.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

An amazing save...not for the faint of heart...what are your plans for it?

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

Hey, please go back and get me the green porcelain light fixture in the second photo. Good luck with the rustang.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

Was it hard to find the owner on the Mustang?

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

The property was sold and the new owner of the building got it with the purchase of the building. The owner knew a car guy and he passed the word around.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

interesting that the Fastback has 4 lug rear and 5 lug front wheels ...

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

Someone put the 4 lug rear end in it at some point. The car is a C code 289 4 speed car.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

Was it gone in 60 seconds?

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

If you still have them and are going to part them out I may be interested in the three speedo clips off the 68 if they are salvageable.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

Rick, I sold both cars shortly after I bought them to a guy in MO. He said he was going to restore both cars. There wasn't much left to restore..... hopefully they don't end up as rebodies.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

Has anyone checked out this site...? I found that when you're bored and have nothing better to do---why not check out some junkyard cars like these....

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

Man, there's almost nothing worse than a partially started restoration vehicle when they stop in the midst of sanding the paint off and removing the protection for the metal and it starts to just rust away. Shame.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

Glenn, the Mustang fastback rescue was me and John McKee's find.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS

It's not everyday you see a lifeguard chair overlooking a pair of Chargers. I wonder who sits up there and watches for pillagers? LOL

<span style="font-family: 'Georgia'">I should have known it was a member here making the rescue! Good luck with your find Matt – any plans?

I picked up a forgotten fastback a few years ago and after a little work, I was amazed at what it went for! (Camaro money!) [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]</span>

No luck searching the boneyard but one fella's name on the door looks like a match.
Near Trail BC too, lives in Nelson and works in Slocan Park...see below.
Good luck if you give it a whirl John!

Very cool

The Beaumonts used Chevy drive trains as well.

Stumbled across this old Bette a few minutes ago knocked on the door and homeowner says it's not for sale. Looks like a different hood then normal.
