That looks to be a '75 Hurst Olds. They didn't make a '76 Hurst Olds.
W25 = 350ci
1293 were built in white.

Wow, clean stripped &quot;bare glass&quot; in the elements is a hidden disaster......
I bet the Frame is &quot;Shot&quot; ...Vette frames outside for years is a haven for ROT.

it's a shame, an LT1 Car was probably the best small block Corvette of them all , especially a '70

Was on a back road in south central Illinois today and stumbled upon this. No one home but left my card. Not licensed since 1992 and rough but all there. Butternut 67 Z24 SS427.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
 

Found this 69 Z24 SS427 a few months ago much closer to home tucked in a guys garage.

Yes Helmut it was very rough. It had been previously repaired but the front fenders were very soft as were the quarters and doors. The interior was also torn up. No idea on the trunk or engine compartment. The hood appeared to be in great shape other than the chrome and that what matters. No call back as of yet but will follow up today.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
 

It looks like someones in the market for an SS Impala [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
 

Not in the market but when something like these come by I am a player.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
 

Very Cool Rick!

Sure look's like it hasn't been outside for the past 23 years, so the owner might be teasing everyone. Seems to be complete. I have seen the complete hood with the bezel sell for $3000.00 alone in rougher shape than what this hood looks like. Good Luck, I hope you get a call, but I am sure you are not the first person who has asked if it's for sale. See you in November.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
 

I guy I stopped and talked to said that the car was moved out of the barn to make room for a wedding reception that was held this past weekend and had not been moved back in yet. The last two hoods I saw sell were both in excess of $4k. I believe in fate so if it does not happen so be it. I am tracking a couple of WAY more important leads so I won't lose any sleep but it still would be neat to bring another Z24 home again.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
 

i have a 67 SS hood..ive turned more than twice that figure down....it scared me that the guy was so aggressive...i thought maybe i lost track of what they where really worth, and didnt know what to do..i told him id think about it...and lost his info on purpose..mines mint and been inside since 87..marina blue and the paint will shine if ya rub it a little.....i should have sold it...lol...yep..i should have sold it...i kick myself once in a while for not..but i want a 67 SS 427 car..so it waits for the right car..

If you take another look at the car, can you take pics of the vin and cowl tag so I can add it to the SS427 registry? I probably don't have that one in my list. Out of 106 in my list, only 6 are Butternut Yellow! Was it a TH400 or 4spd? Wonder if the drivetrain is original.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
 

Warren, when I stopped no one was home and did not think it wise to open the door or hood to get that information hoping instead the owner would call me. So far that has not happened and the car is now back in the barn. I am told by people who know the car from back in the 90's say that it does not have the original engine in it. Not sure about the trans which was a Turbo 400. I have not given up but never seem to time it right when the owner is home and numerous calls have gone unanswered.

I wish I had kept track of VIN's starting back in the 70's as I had MANY of these cars pass through my fingers and knew about many others. I just never figured one day someone would have a registry. Ditto on the LS6 Chevelles.

Wow I'm a die hard bow tie guy but I loooooove the Cuda. Had the same thing happen to me but it was a Buick GSX.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
 

There's a storage facility nearby that has a Lemans blue with white interior 1969 Chevelle SS 396 right inside the gate. It's rough but looks to be the real deal. I've thought about asking about the car but, I don't have the space or resources to do anything with it.

Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
 

Saw this car for sale over at Teamcamaro about 5-6 years ago. I think he was located in Manahawkin NJ.
Not sure what ever happened to this car.

Some rotting musclecars I looked at recently. '69 Z-28 (non-original motor), '66 Chevelle SS396 convertible (325hp/PG), '73 Z-28 (350/TH400). Guy has owned these cars for decades and they are sitting in a rat filled garage. He will sell them, but generally wants too much money for them. I was interested in the '69 Z-28, but without paperwork and original motor, I don't want it.
