undiscovered cars

[NYorange70deuce]

I could tell you guys plenty of stories. As far as how fast the red car went. At NY international on a cool late aug. evening it ran 13.38 at 108mph. Car was jetted perfect.
108 oct. fuel, the car had been running consistant 13.5's all night. ended up breaking out on that run. dad had a .503 light which wasn't unusual for him. I think i still have the slip somewhere. It might even be in the glove box of the car. not sure. If I remember correctly we went to michigan 2 weeks later and didn't run any faster than a high 13.6 and that was the evening prior to the main event.

The deuce by maple grove is/was a clone, I spoke to the owners. It was actually created by a father/son team in Ephrata, PA at Twin Pines Motors used car dealership as a fun project. To my knowledge, the car was sold, and I lost track of it.

Very likely that it is the same car. The one I knew of looked like it needed work. In other words it was not streetable. It always sat outside, 1/2 covered up at times. Faded yellow with what looked like correct style stripes.

If it's not the one you are thinking of, maybe I'll take a ride this weekend.

69 Lemans Blue Yenko Camaro near Stoughton WI in the 80's. Owner said he would never sell and a couple years later in he was into Karma Ghia's (sp).

Local legend has it that there's a '67 HEMI Super Stock Coronet tucked away in a nearby but very secluded and highly guarded garage. One gentleman I've spoken to claims to have actually seen it, and supposedly it's a legit W023 4-speed car complete with S/S hood scoop, trunk mount battery, radio delete, the whole nine. He told me the quarters have been cut for slicks, and a cable drive tach was installed on the dash top, but outside of that the car sits in the plain white wrapper it was painted in back in 1967. I can't imagine there are too many S/S cars left to be discovered, but enough details about this car have been passed around that I fully believe it does or at least did exist. Maybe someday the car will surface and it will be known if the "legend" is true or just an old bar room BS story. I have to agree that the hunt is possibly the best part of the musclecar hobby.

I have been Hunting and Finding great Cars since the mid 70's when I could not afford what I found!! 2 months ago I wnt back to a place I stopped at 26 years ago. Back then ther ewas a 1964 Galaxie with 16,000 original miles. Owner ordered it new. It was Black with Bucket seats and a 4 speed and console. under the Hood was one of the Most fierce looking engines ever produced! a 427 with Dual quads, oval Air Cleaner with the Thunderbird logo and 427 laid across with Checkered Flags! to top it off they even had Cast Iron Headers! Sadly the car was not there, But the Old Guy I spoke to all those years ago still was! That was a treat in and of itself. He told me all anbout buying that car and racing it back in the sixties. then he told me about the guy who came and bought it in 1993 for $1500.00 Dollars! Presently I know of an excellent, totally original COPO Camaro for Sale. a 69 Z-28 for Sale, and I am a Ford Nut and extremely frustrated as I know of 3 Shelby Convertibles that are not for sale! Go Figure!!Willing to trade leads on the Chevies for FORD MUSCLE !!

How about a 69 Yenko Nova that is stored away, supposedly the original 427 Yenko engine sold on ebay and owner did not want it because he is going to put a 454 in it when he restores it. A friend of the owner has had my number for a couple of years now and I'm still waiting a call. Every 6 months or so I call but nothing yet.

Next door neighbor has a 67 Chevelle SS 396 with about 70000 miles on it in his barn. Every couple of years when he cleans out his barn, he'll get it out and let it sit in his drivewway, you can't see it because of the trees and bushes but I stop every once in awhile so I'll see it out. He was thinking about selling and he quoted me a price of $3500. When I went back, he had put it back in the barn and decided not to sell it. He also has a Mach 1 he drives to church during the summer. As well an old Honda. He bought the Chevelle and Honda when he was in high school back in the late 60's. Think he bought the Mach 1 new. He won't sell a thing, tried to buy a mid 60's Chevy van off him and he would not sell it, said he was going to fix it up, think the axle is completely buried now sitting behind the barn along with other treasures.

There is a guy not far from where I live who has a -64 galaxie. The story about the car is that it was used as a "roadrace" track car in it´s early years, with a glassfibre frontend. It´s got a 427 tag and thin framerails. Many parts are missing.

There is a '67 Hemi GTX or Coronet(can't remember which) in Hopedale Ohio outside of Steubenville. I saw it 9-10 years ago and the guy wanted $30K then-should have bought it but just built a house. Was a race car with mini tubs, maroon in color car, Cragar Super Tricks- was race car beat up but very rust free.
I think the guy may still have it and he knows what he has.
