Last year you found out your cousin had a Royal Bobcat GTO that he won from a radio contest in '66, stored away since new and today only has 25 miles on it.

Man after finding about these two lost cars you need to hit more family reunions and keep up with your longtime friends more often.

hooper's book has MV and MX as the two new zl1 detuned engine codes ready as of april 69, I ve seen on another site these two prototypes were tripowers and I would imagine the 70 LJ2 motor 11to1 solid lifter tripower all aluminum w/ 4inch stroke was made as was the LT2 both meant for vettes and supposedly never made it into the cars but may have had a few leave as crate motors, interesting more vettes didn't get these aluminum motors, I wonder if durabilitly was a big downfall?? maybe only good for about 600miles than the L78s were going to pass you by on the track...

hey, a friend of mine is a deer hunter and was in some woods in north.ga. told me he came across several old cars. i ask him about them and he said one of them had some strange name along the rear quarter (hes not a car guy) said it started with a Y but the rest of the name was faded out, he said he didn't stay with them long because he was stalking a big buck, but he would take me back to that spot to check them out, we'll see, keep ya posted.

Maybe it was a Yugo...you said your friend was not a car guy!

[gemleeus]

thats a very real possibility, for sure he's not a car guy. did the yugo have the name stickered on the quarters?

I agree with Canuckle 100% in regards to asking members for help in paying his medical bills.For a person that has a Law Degree, a Masters in Business and a 1/2 million dollar Team Shelby T/A and a estate large enough to invite half the country for a barbecue....I would be asking for a refund.

Have to clear something up, Matt as far as I know never asked for help in his Medical Bills here on the site. The Paypal link was started without his knowledge and intended for just that, to help with his medical bills, and thats what we all hoped it went for.

c'mon on down we'll go look together

If during your "HUNT" you see a small high wing airplane fly overhead and then two parachutes come out the door, one with a toolbox and one with me hanging on it, turn around you are going the wrong direction...LOL. I like to hunt too! North Georgia is real close to Tennessee!

This has the potential of becoming the story behind the new version of the classic movie "Deliverance".
