Chasing the Local legendary cars.

Awesome score Charley.. Are they all going in for full resto's or you just going to clean them up a bit?

[Charley Lillard]

I have not really had time to evaluate them to decide on a plan of attack. I have visions of driving that 56 with the paint left the way it is. The Green one could either be restored or left as a Hotrod. The red 63 doesn not need resto. The 67's don't really need restoring, but they will need to have the fuel and brake systems gone through. And heater cores and radiators and Batteries and on and on. I have other stuff to drive so these could just sit around and get tinkered with.

Charley,

Congratulations on your treasures!!!!

Looking at the pictures is like watching an episode
from the "Twilight Zone"!

Very cool!

How did you feel, when you opened the barn door, and looked
at the cars for the first time????

Did you have to pinch yourself, to make sure you weren't
dreaming....or something totally different?

Just a small add to this post: Apparently these cars were once located out in the Corona, Calif. area many years ago; I have this verified by a local ncrs guru...just fyi.

ElSegundo..... And the owner said he outran the ElSegundo Cops with the 63 FI car...and the 63 FI cars goes 200 mph...

Hhmmm, well he said he didnt recall a FI car but Ill ask him again;

[Charley Lillard]

There was a 62 FI car also that he sold years ago. They moved up here with the cars over 20 years ago.

Removed the cast iron Powerglide from the trunk of the 56 and here is my resident...Been there awhile. Drove it a bit more and it even fries the tires in second.
