LOL. I dunno about the best but it sure is the most watched one at 2.7 million views - probably all those Nigerian and Russian hackers trying to infiltrate the website! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Rogers Dick Harrell Chevelle is the best for me.... what better than the original owner finding thier original supercar with help from a former member here..and He never realized it was a real COPO until after finding the car some 40 years later !!!

Dana's '68 Yenko Camaro found in the junk yard, Adam's '71 BM Phase III Vette, the Dana '68 Camaro Hawaii find, Charley's '67 Z28 find he put the experimental aluminum small block in... so many good cars!

It was actually bought off the truck on it's way to the wrecking yard. It never made it there, luckily. Thanks for the mention, just wanted to clarify... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

The 70 Dick Harrell Camaro find was one of my favorites. Neat story behind the car before and after it was found.

Charley's local multiple Corvette buy (and subsequent sell) was an interesting story.

More recent was the '67 RS/SS L78 find/eBay sale in SoCal.

Roger D Chevelle, njsteve's TA, Charley's 70 1100 mile Z28,

I tried to find the thread on this one below but I can't find it - it was a nice field find...




I also lost it when this BM car popped up on here - I love it and its long-time, one-family story :
