undiscovered cars

Two years ago, I heard about an old Camaro drag car in a backyard. I found the car and it happened to be a real 1968 Z/28. It had Mighty Mouse lettered on the side and I could have bought it for $500.00. The car was very rough but did have the title. I didn't think the car was savable but I watched it sell on E-bay later for $3200. I think someone even posted photos of it on this site.

I love these hidden car stories!
I know of a 1972 Z28 sitting since late 70s in a neighboring town... Dark Green on Black, black stripes 4-spd, Possibly for sale. My neighbor has a Delorean (sp?) sitting at least for the last 17-20 years.

I have been after this car since 1997. 1970 Nova L78, M21 4 speed, Forest Green, rubber floor mat, 20,200 miles. The car has been with it's second owner since 1971. Original motor is out of it in the garage while he had a 427 under the hood racing it. Orig paint etc. Car has been sitting out for a few years now so it needs restored. The owner has all the paperwork and orig window sticker and many vintage pics of it while he was at the strip in the early 70's. The original selling dealer was Celozzi-Ettleson Chevrolet in Elmhurst, ILL. Oh and it IS NOT FOR SALE, he is gonna fix her up some day! Yeah right!

How about a FG Yenko Camaro buried up to the posts in a farmer's field with no VIN or trim tag on it because they are on another FG car? Oops, wasn't supposed to bring that one up!

There is a DY Y Chevelle hidden somewhere within a 40 mile radius of me, my brother and I are trying to find the magic farmer who owns it.

I know these sound pretty sarcastic, but I am serious.

About 4 years ago, a friend and I discovered a 1967 Corvette: roadster, 427-400 HP, red with white and black interior still in the possesion of the original owner that worked at the Corvette plant when the car was built. Parked in the garage since 1975 and was sold to help pay for the son's college tuition. 25K bought the 31,000 mile car.
