1) 1970 T/A 340-6. Apparently a well known car today. Was till owned by the original owner in Yorba Linda, Ca. Low miles, all original, rare bronze paint color.
I test drove it, the guy had a small family and couldn't keep the car any more and it was killing him to sell it. He wanted $3500...I figured it was too much! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]
2) 1969 Trans Am, located on a Buick dealer used car lot on Harbor Blvd. Saw it when I was driving to the beach to go surfing. By the time I got home and got my brother to go and take a look at it, they had already sold it. Sold for $2600 and they thought they did well...
3) 1969 Indy Pace Camaro. Located in the "bad" part of Fullerton, Ca, right down the street from the Fullerton DMV. Wasn't for sale...for a long time. One day, I talked to the owner and told him if he ever wanted to sell...to let me know. I gave him my number. He never called. Found out later it sold for $3200.
4) 1969 RS/SS 396/375 Camaro. Located on a used car lot at the corner of Brookhurst and Lincoln in Anaheim. Car had spent time in Tijuana and other parts of Mexico (had stickers showing this on the lower portion of the windshield). Tried to get my dad to loan me some of the money...he said no way. Was for sale for $3100....
Last one for me...another 1969 RS/SS 396 Camaro-still owned by the original owner (had AER?) series blue plates. Original everything including paint.The guy lived off of Sunkist and Mira Loma. I would stop by occasionally to talk with the guy as it was parked outside in front of his house always! I kept telling him that I wanted the car. Same story-not for sale but he'd call me when it became available. One day I drove by and it was gone....I rang the bell and he TRADED it in on a van!
My brother had a chance to buy a black/black 1971 426 Hemi 4 speed Road Runner-that was originally owned by a State Farm Insurance adjuster. The guy was apparently HUGE and strong...The car was located at shop in Garden Grove run by Ray Alley...I talked about this here:
