The "Found As Is" Showcase - new for MCACN 2012

[Atuckman]

Looking for project cars to display at MCACN 2012.

Can be factory or dealer-modified muscle. barnfind, incomplete, repainted, rough or incomplete is ok.

Examples <span style="text-decoration: underline">must</span> be rare, documented and unrestored.

Come share these treasures.

Please let me or Bob Ashton know if you have interest.

too rough? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

[bashton]

Many of you witnessed what we are talking about last year. We had the Shinoda Boss 302 Mustang, a long time packed away LS6 Chevelle, the totally off the map Baldwin-Motion 1970 Chevelle and also the Motion Can Am Spyder that was recently unearthed, and of course, that great Gibb Nova that we had all forgotten about.

That is what we are talking about. If you own or know of a significant Muscle Car or Corvette that has been &quot;under the radar&quot; and may not be pretty or is even incomplete but REAL, you have what we want.

MCACN is a show like no other, and these types of cars are always a whole lot of fun for both participants and spectators.

Here is a teaser for you; already signed up for this is a 1972 440+6 Roadrunner GTX, still wearing its original paint with a factory sunroof, a long packed away Hurst Hemi Dart and a Dealer Chevy Supercar that I am confident even the sYc members dont know about...

Adam has agreed to help us out with this and the &quot;Automotive Archeologist&quot;, Ryan Brutt is also on board.

So, what do you have?

Looks like a Daytona quarter panel.

sent you a PM Bob

[bashton]

Been getting some pretty interesting e-mails!

Add a 1963 Max Wedge Sport Fury...with a 3-speed stick, parked from 1968-2005 to the mix. Unmodified and still wearing whitewalls!

Adam, Bob,

Would my Z fit the bill? I'd like to participate but I have cleaned it since Jeff Boone discovered the ugly mess...

Looking more for lower production, drag history and dealer super cars for this one. Maybe yours would qualify for Vintage Cert?

OK Bob, thank you. My Z does not compare to those cars Vintage Certified! Those are a totally different caliber of automobile...

the Motion Can Am Corvette is not a recently discovered barn find, it was previously known to some Motion collectors as it was for sale on-line years ago.

there are pictures of it after hitting hard times, garage-less, and sitting outside under a pine tree in Maryland

It could have ended up as scrap, so glad to see a Motion collector rescued it

[Devil]

Wow, I don't get over here enough I guess.

Yeah, looking for any Barn Find original cars. Already have a bunch of sweet stuff lined up.

If you have a project tucked away, and it is a cool car. Let us know!

What about this?

[Devil]

Yup, already know about that one. Guy doesn't want to move it.

But you never know what you might find out there.

So, Bob, does this qualify?

...And it's a '72 to boot. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

Well Steve, I would certainly say a factory 455 H/O Formula is indeed a rare find. So...what's the story?

Bashton
MCACN Managing Member

[njsteve]

Special order black (a non-available color for 1972), One of 10 Canadian 455HO Formulas, and one of 276 total 455HO Formulas produced. In storage since the second owner passed away several years ago.

The new thread is already rolling along as we speak:

This would be a great candidate! This car is not going anywhere for a long time. One of my friends found it.

Well more good news. I am starting to write for Hot Rod Magazine and their Automotive Archaeology section of the new refresh! So you can pick that up on news stands.

Keep on sending in those &quot;as is&quot; cars!

[bashton]

Talked to the owner of the REAL 1968 Hurst Hemi Dart that is joining us for this display, and he is really pumped. In fact...he thinks he may be able to get several other unrestored, long forgotten Hemi A-body owners to join us!

Let me know if anyone has a cool barn find that they would be willing to bring to the show.

Add a recently pulled from the barn 1965 Mr. Norm's sold 426 Wedge Coronet to the mix! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif

Add another incredible car to the mix! We now have one of the six 1970 Judge RA IV 4-speed converts joining the display. This one has been &quot;off the radar&quot; for many years and is going to be displayed as found, unrestored and barn fresh. That makes THREE of the six RA IV '70 Judge converts being shown at MCACN this year; red, orbit orange and black.

Great!!!

Is there a registry for the RA IV judge verts? A friend of mine special ordered a white/blue top 4 speed.

[GTO_DON]

I believe ther are 17 Ram iv Judge verts in 4 spd form and another 7 or 8 automatics. I will check thru my files and confirm if needed.

[bashton]

Production numbers seem to vary for RA IV Judge convertibles, but suffice it to say it is indeed a rare bird! Also, this one is actually Pepper Green, not black as stated above.

Some of you may have seen the R-code '66 427 Galaxie that was in a recent Muscle Car Review &quot;Rare Finds&quot; column by Jerry Heasley from Texas.

Add that to the mix! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

We have some incredible finds lined up guys.

And we will be projecting pictures of Barn Finds I have shot for the past decade, including some rare and never seen pictures!

[njsteve]

Has anyone gotten their move in package paperwork yet? I havent see anything in the mail. Then again, the hurricane may have sent it somewhere else.

[BlueSS454]

I got an email, Bob Ashton said they were going out the first week in November and should receive them sometime this coming week.

Steven;

The last of the move-in packs went out yesterday. Happy to hear you made it through the mayhem! Now...start peddling, Dru needs someone to wheelie with!

I got mine Friday

[RPOLS3]

Got mine Saturday 11/3

[njsteve]

Got mine today. If we dont get electricity back by next week, I wont be able to go, though. We just got the message that if the power doesnt get fixed by this wednesday, it will be another week before the repair window is open again for our area...and I cant leave the family in the dark while I go off to Chicago.

Well, just good to hear you made it through with minimal damage. Let's hope you and the family can get back to &quot;normal&quot; and keep us posted. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif

The recently snagged SC/360 is IN!

That makes an even dozen As found and Hidden Gems...going to be an amazing display.
