There are several rotting away within a couple miles of my house. One guy has two 40 Ford Coupes, a 70 Chevy truck and three Corvettes. The Corvettes are a 58, a 63 split window and a 71. I talked to the owner a little over a year ago. The 58 and 63 have been sitting for over 20 years and are in pretty rough shape but the 71 looks drivable. The 58 and 63 have been covered with blue tarps for the last 3 years. Another guy has a 69 Chevelle SS sitting in a field across from his house. I looked at this car and talked to the owned last year. Everything seems to be there except the engine. The only reason the car is not rusted away is because it is sitting on a concrete slab. Same story with all these cars, no interest in selling.

Back in 1985 I was driving home from a ROTC class at UC Berkeley when I took a short-cut up a residential side street. As I drove up this narrow street I noticed a big wing sticking up from a parked car. It was a Hemi Daytona (HEMI emblem on the door), white, black int. and rear body band. Stock black wheels, no wheelcovers/caps, whitewall tires, looked like the car had just been rolled out of the garage after long-term storage and parked in the street. I knew no one would believe me so I raced home, grabbed my Nikon and went back and took a picture (I'll go look for it). The car was there for about a week and then gone. Never saw it again.

Whew! Found the pic of the Hemi Daytona. Again, it was just parked in the street. I should have knocked on the door but I was a poor college student in 1985. I probably could have gotten this car for what? 10K in 1985? Maybe it's still there, rolled back into the garage after I grabbed this picture...

There is a Blue Hemi Superbird, original owner, with 6K-7K miles in Wilmington NC, owner still gets this one out and stretches its legs a little. There is a 66 427(horsepower unknown)Corvette Coupe, Red, with less than 300 miles, all tags in place, I have never actually seen this car, but my dads first cousin lives in the town where it is and he has seen it, supposedly the mans son bought and then died in Vietnam, don't what has ever been offered for it or if you can even approach the owners, this car is a local legend in the area and its parked in the same place the son left it, its located in Elizabethtown, NC which is about 30 minutes from Wilmington.

I grew up in Chicago...Morton grove to be exact. In the 80's I used to go by a small Construction Co. and when the owners kid had the garage door open at night, I remember seeing as many as 12 Shelbys in there...I even remember the 67 red convert GT 500 prototype that was at the Volo a while back. In 1976 I saw that car late at night and I remember the guy telling me he could probably get $12k for it...I thought he was nuts!

Oh well!
