undiscovered cars

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!

another 80's story. My buddy worked at a machine shop in Evanston, Il back in the 80's...he always used to tell me the story of a guy coming in once a month with really rare Ford stuff for sale.


The story goes that this young guy had a couple of semi's loaded with Ford racing stuff...everything ranging from a couple of complete Shelbys...to all sorts of wild induction stuff, steering wheels etc., etc.

I wonder if anyone got to clean up all of the left overs after this guy thought he creamed all of the good stuff out?

There is a legit. 1968 ram air gto in Harrison, NY. It is at this guys house sitting outside rotting. It has been there for a long time. I know it is legit because my dad sold it to the guy back in the 80's. Too bad because there are very few legit 68' ram air gto's out there.

Somebody might go ballistic on him if he starts Hippie painting the Vettes like he did his own Bettle!

Thats a shame, Hopefully he will just sell they before he paints them.

Here are a few my Grandpa has been telling me about for quite awhile. I finally made it up to look at them the other day. One, of course is a 57. It is in fantastic shape as far as the body goes with no cancer. The other is a 63 coupe. It is also extremely solid. I tracked down the owner only to here. "They are on Ebay." As I got ready to go to the computer, he continued; "there are plenty like them on EBay. Those are mine and I'll never sell them." At least they are in a dry area and won't rust away in his lifetime.

Here's a "garage find" I picked up "with a little help from my friends". 1962 Vette convert that's been sitting in a garage since 1975. 350 in it now but the gentleman I purchased it from said it was an old fuelie. Not big deal to me but it does have 6000 plus redline tach and some other details that indicate he may be correct.

Having fun,
