Nice Pix.Thanks for sharing this,it looks like it has definate potential,and you know that.If you are looking for a project buyer,I am interested too.
What do you think the Horsepower of the Original engine was?Does it have a Tachometer,or can you get the 2 letter sufix off of the TH400 Trans.or rearend?
Could it still be holding a Buildsheet?

I talked to a couple other car people in the area about this car. One of them knows the owner and says that he will never do anything with the car. The car has been sitting for 7 or 8 years. The owner told me that when his Dad bought the car, the 396 was already gone. Someone had installed a 350 but it is gone now. This car will sit there until it rusts away to nothing. There is another 68-69 Chevelle sitting in the weeds about 100 feet from this one. The owner told me that it was wrecked and they stripped any good parts that were left. There may be a build sheet somewhere in the car but I doubt if the owner would let me look for it. I'll keep checking on it every few months and see if they change their mind.

Shame. I have been taking pics of cars like this for the last month or so and I'm up to 17 different makes, models of cars and it's always the same story, owner will never sell it, gonna fix it up someday! My favorite guy has a LOS 69 Camaro,plain jane,tarp car and will never sell the car but tried to get me to buy his old motorhome. He reminded me of the "Big Labowski" character on the movie. As soon as I fill up the disposable camera I'll post em.
