undiscovered cars

[TMagda]

Cars in my neighborhood in the mid 70's:

1969 Z/28 Camaro, Cortez Silver - mine!
1968 SS Camaro, big block, aluminum heads - next door neighbor
1969 SS Camaro, 396 Gold automatic - buddy's
1969 SS Camaro, 396, light blue, orange hockey stick
1966 GTO - neighbor's cousin's
1969 Camaro 427 - probably was a COPO - belonged to the guy who owned the pool hall
1969 Camaro ragtop, ralley green, small block automatic
1969 Chevelle SS 454, black on black - buddy's
1969 Roadrunner, blue on black - buddy's
1968 Chevelle SS, 396, blue on black - buddy's
1970 Cuda, 340, 4 speed, black on black - buddy's
1970 Duster, 340 4 speed, blue on black - buddy's
1970 Boss 302 Mustang - Orange, 4 speed - friend of my father's
1964 Galaxie XL 500 ragtop - father's

196? Mustang fastback - white w/blue stripes like a Shelby. Rick Kopeck's brother was my basketball coach at the time and it was the car he drove (not sure if he owned it) - probably was a real Shelby.

Many, many, more.

My point is that although these were only considered to be "used cars" at the time there were tons of them out there. I don't belive my neighborhood (in Norwalk, Connecticut) had an unusual amount of muscle cars, there were just lots around. Nobody was really even that into it (i.e. mechanics, racers, etc...), it's just what we drove.

Oh, there was also a Yenko Duece, dark blue (Fathom, Dusk?) that belonged to a friend of a friend running around town. Not sure who it belonged to but I do remember seeing it behind a house, no engine, as late as 1980. I wish I could remember where that house was.

No, this one never sat outside. However, there is a green 1970 SS Chevelle sitting about 50 feet off the road with a tree or two growing in or around it on "Conway-Wallrose Road" in western PA. I first saw it in 1978, and at that time it was NICE . I saw it again last summer...it is not so nice now. And yes, everyone I know that has seen it over the last 27 years has tried to buy it although it may not be worth much now.

Ray
What engine is/was in this Green 1970 SS Chevelle?
Any other particulars you can relay?

[BARN FIND]

I think it was a 396, I will be in Pittsburgh in March and I will try to look it over. Over the years some parts have been snatched off it or maybe sold I do not know but I will try to get some info. I will say that if I remember correctly it looked stock/unmolested the first time I saw it (1978). If I can I will get the VIN.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

That Motion car has been the topic of discussion! Once we found out it was a 'mail order' version, we backed off. What happened to the owner? I heard he went to Texas?

[NYorange70deuce]
