Good stuff!

An old Classic Motors ad ...

A couple of '69 SS Chevelles in there but I'd be interested in the 300 mph Plymouth jet car. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

How about some of those Ferraris....$30k then, $10 mil today. Some are more! 427 Cobras cheap, too!!!

----Many of you may not know much about Classic Motors but I was working there at the time this add came out. Those were heady days. The Ferraris weren't ours but a good friend of Richards. Quite a line up though. Anyone notice that there were multiples of almost all the fuelies......Bill S

Great posts, thanks! I have been considering joining one of those online digital newspaper archive sites. Can you search for keywords, VINs, plate numbers etc, or do you just have to browse and look?

PeteLeathersac

01-18-2016, 12:38 PM

It's a mix of what papers have been scanned and how well any searches may work but any hope for Vins/Plate #'s etc would be if originally in the ads specifically and exactly the same as you're now searching too.
I'm not pleased w/ the Newspapers.com group I'm riding with being as soon as you join, immediately they want more $ right away for what you thought you were getting in the first place so I'm sticking w/ my spot here in steerage and seeing how it goes?
Can anyone here confirm area codes of the era for some of the ads above, we should at least try to backtrack the 427 Camaros?
Cool stuff Jon and lets dig up a few more, really love that Koenig one!!!

A few more cool ones where the Classic Motors ad came from ...

I believe that was right after my Dad bought his 67 from Richard. Neat times for sure. I remember as a 8-10 year old kid walking around the shop and showroom and even though I had absolutely no appreciation for what those cars were at the time in terms of rarity and collectability I knew it was a cool place to hang out. Fast forward to 1986 - the summer I worked there - and there were practically no Corvettes or Musclecars around anymore, mostly just the AMG stuff by then - but still a neat place with great memories for me.

Thanks, I'd been told that too. My car was delivered to Clippinger Chevrolet in Covina early April 69 but not sold until late June so I'm hopeful that it may've been listed for sale in a local ad during those couple of months sitting on the lot.

I tried for some 1969 Clippinger ads Tim but seems little available, do you know if Bob Wingate was your car's salesman?
CA Plate #'s posted in old ads is a really great thing, hopefully it helps bring a few more car's histories to light!
Here's a '77 Auction piece w/ comments by Richard Buxbaum of Classic Motors below also a few more old ads...

Pete thank you for having a look, much appreciated! Not sure about the salesman, car's original owner is still around but couldn't confirm. I've heard that Bob W was the top salesman at Clippinger, and the go-to guy for ordering performance cars, especially 'vettes, so maybe? Seems the car was a dealer stock order rather than a customer order, so someone there knew what options to tick off that would appeal.
Aren't these ads such a great snapshot in time of an era when all that used iron was kicking around for not much $?

I tried to save only pages w/ something cool listed so look carefully. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

One must assume that almost every Rat in the newspaper ads was a "427" back then! Think of how many were disassembled only to find an L35 inside?

Right on Jon but you'd think the first thing any crooks would do was de-Motionize it?

YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY

07-11-2016, 01:50 PM

So, the sad news about the Yenko Chevelle is that a Garnet Red Yenko Chevelle from Marshall Chev in Reading, PA was indeed titled to a Frank Curry in Shenandoah, PA in '74. It is very likely this car, and the word is that it eventually became a dirt track car. The engine was apparently out for rebuild at a machine shop in the Scranton, PA area where it remained until about 10 years (+/-) ago when it popped up on EBaY. I believe 427King in CT bought it, and still has it.

The 'black' Deuce is very likely Jerry Albert's Deuce in Cedar Rapids, IA. This Deuce is actually a Gobi Beige car, with a/t but no p/s. It is unique in that it came factory with some body moldings. The car was 'injured' early in it's life, painted black and sold. Once discovered 25+ years ago, it was painted Daytona (?) Yellow, and has been enjoyed since!

Joe Oldham and his son Scott Oldham (editor at Edmunds.com) built a replica of his Motion Camaro that got stolen. I'd love to see how it came out. Scott and I conversed via email a couple months back and I referred him this site but I've never seen if he joined or not.

My dad was an insurance adjuster in Pittsburgh through the 60's-90's and worked at Yenko's bodyshop for many years appraising cars there, and my sister bought her first Camaro at the Rt 19 location. Those old ads bring back many memories of checking out the Sunday paper for deals even though I was just a dopey kid at the time.

Holy crap Pete, that's my car! I mean it must be, mine is the only one that was sold new and lived its life in Phoenix, and the mileage matches as well. I had no idea this classified ad ever existed, this is awesome! According to my old titles this timing also roughly lines up with a change of ownership. Wonder if the ph# still works...

Continuing on, I just did a search on that ph#, and it looks like the car was advertised almost exactly one year earlier in the same newspaper. Pete, is it possible you can lookup this ph# from the April 5, 1974 issue of the Arizona Republic? I can't see the ad itself, but the summary of the OCR scan says it had "13,000 total miles" at that point. If you can't get the ad no sweat, what you've posted already is tremendously cool.
Thanks!

Cool news and I was waiting/hoping some known also member cars would click!
I'll look up the ad you need Wade also may have it already saved as there's a half dozen Cuda ragtop ads in the cache of stuff I haven't posted yet.
I can't save here @ work but looking quickly, I see a Jan '74 ad w/ no mileage/price but there is a '73 ad w/ 5600 miles so seller may be the original owner?
He's definitely a car guy as he has other vehicle listings too also a GoCart and Honda bike plus commercial real estate ads w/ the same # and call Maureen...maybe his wife?
Unless some else does first, I'll post the ads I have and see later tonight.
Best of luck backtracking the car!

Awesome! Very neat stuff Pete, thanks again. And yes sir Shaun, this is the red one, sold new out of Bill Luke Chrysler Plymouth of Phoenix. Assuming I did this attachment right here's a picture of the car from this same mid-70's era, wearing its AZ plates 'PTE-971' (in fact it still wears these original plates today).
Thanks!

Thanks Mark! Looks like that's what you got for 2900 bucks back in '75.

Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread with my enthusiasm, but with Pete's followup I did some more digging and I do think Maureen is the wife. According to the old paperwork I got with the car, in Feb-1973 the 'Cuda was owned by a Bob Graham (at least the 2nd owner), and a quick search shows that Bob's wife was/is Maureen. So timing-wise this all makes sense, these must be Bob's ads and old ph#. In Oct-75 Bob sold the car to his brother Bill (whom I've had the pleasure of speaking with years ago), so it looks like Bob was unsuccessful at selling his car 6 months earlier for the $2900. Ugh! A year later it was bought by a longterm owner, who literally socked the car away for the next 30 years.

One other neat piece of info is the mileage. The ad Pete posted from April 1975 mentioned 20,100 miles. When the car came out of hibernation in 2005 it had 20,535 miles. Interesting that it was used so little during those years, and it is very cool that Bob chose to post the mileage in his ads. Gives me a much greater understanding of my car's history.

Again, much thanks Pete and All!!!

Wade, I was in high school when this came up for sale and a good friend of mine went to look at it, It was on 20th St. south of Indian School Rd. at a small house with extra parts laid out on the lawn, (shaker parts etc.) he went for a ride expecting the owner to "get on it" but never did. I frequently saw the car around town, couldn't miss the velocity stacks. My friend still remembers clearly that day like it was yesterday.

PeteLeathersac

07-16-2016, 04:03 AM

'

Here are ads for what must be the car starting w/ Jan/73 @ 5000 miles but different phone # so probably previous owner, maybe the original?
Two months later is the Mar/73 ad and odo @ 5600 miles also same phone # over the next few years as ads to follow.
Note the mileage accumulating in some ads also 2'nd phone # @ Mar/73, we can try searching this later if you need.
The last four ads are cars he advertised before/during/after the Cuda, July/72 '64 Impala 'Vert, July/73 '68 Mustang, July/76 '70 GS also '69 Vette which may be what he traded the Cuda for and lastly, the July/79 ad w/ the 442 'Vert.
There's other ads I can lay on you if needed too also if any help backtracking, it looks like Maureen's surname may be Graham?
Best of luck Wade and here comes a PM also one to you too Shaun.

Wow Pete, just Wow... This is off the charts cool. As I mentioned I know Bob Graham applied for a title in Feb-1973, so almost certainly the Jan-1973 ad you found is from the previous owner. And the tracking of the accumulating mileage through this ad history is just awesome. The Graham brothers may have tried for years to sell their poor Cuda in exchange for a Vette, but during that time they sure enjoyed it, to the tune of 15k in miles! Awesome stuff Pete, just awesome, thanks so very much for posting!

Pete, the 71 Fleetwood was what my mom drove, vaguely remember the Baja, it was my brothers, the Schwinn was my Pea Picker.

You should find a lot more ads throughout the years.

Rick,
In about '92 at a local car show (Forest City Iowa?) there was a burnished brown '69 SS427 Custom Coupe 4 speed bucket seat car. I think it had parchment interior and can't remember if it had a vinyl top. I was about 13 at the time and I was all over that car. The owner was so impressed that a young kid was so fascinated with his fullsize car that he let me sit in the driver's seat. I still remember grabbing that 4 speed shifter, ruined me forever. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif

Here is the first 1970 SS I bought from 1984 with it's original Autotrader ad (Mike Smith was the owner I bought it from).
Had the car from 1984 to 1997.
The bottom ad is my own ad I did in 1997.

Bought the car for $6800 in 84 and sold it for $13500 in 97.
Canadian built Oshawa Plant SS.

I especially like the C-28 for sale. You can tell these ads were taken over the phone by folks who didn't have a lot of car knowledge.

Reminds me of all the "radio arm" saws for sale.

I know it's not a muscle car but a great pro street non the less. Iv had this ad hanging on the wall for 20 years I'm a huge willys fan ( however will never own one because of the price of them) read the last sentence how the owner describes his car it's perfect

I think he traded it in after multiple engine failures early in life. I wondered if it somehow ended up in AZ, seems unlikely.

Both being Phoenx, the Harrell car is most likely the Turquoise '68 from the Courtesy Chev ad back on page 11?
Same w/ the the Pittsburgh Deuce above painted by Chip, probably the competition paint Deuce from page 12 but a year later/different owner?
Sorry for any duplicate posts as '69 L72 'Vette & L72 Biscayne ad above also prev' page...just juggling too many pics at once... <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/no.gif
Stay tuned, lots more to come!

I'd like to get my hands on that '69 SS427 Chevelle and SS427 Nova, lol.

Funny how so many SS427's there were back then on models that as far as I know never had that option.

Those SS427 Impala emblems must have been everywhere back then.

YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY

I think the Traverse City Deuce is the FG one that Jeff L in Nashville used to own, as that car came from the upper peninsula area of MI.

The Alton, IL Deuce is likely the 'Davidson' car where the orig owner walked into the SCR one year and started talking....!!! I believe it's gone.

Pete -- I'd have sent you a PM but the box is full. Where/how do you find all these classified ads? Have you ever looked in the Green Bay ads? Broadway Chev's ad is where I found my used CS Deuce back in 72' ... just wonder if those ads are still available ... TAZ <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

Here's my Autotrader ad in 1985. By the mid 80's, we were amazed at how fast our Camaros were rising in value. What were cheep cars, now were getting very expensive. Bought in 1978 for $750, I was asking top dollar for the RS. It did not sell then, but by 1989 I was asking $10,000. Unknown at the time, this Camaro was an LM-1 with factory 12 bolt and disc brakes:

Wonder if that 68 BM 427 Biscayne is the one in the Motion advertisements? I don't think any have ever been found though they likely would just blend in with any other 427/425 Biscayne.

These are really cool to read. Thanks for posting them.

Here is one from September 15th of 1977 in the Chicago Tribune with my Chevelle for sale.

Pete,
Love all the old ads.
I did a quick search using a website with old newspapers awhile ago, trying to find info on my 69 Post Sedan SS, but didn't have the kind of access you seem to have.
Great stuff. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Maybe Grady Burch's, or the gold one that came to NOCC two years ago, or the Dusk Blue one Rick Pauley knows about?

The one you found is from Sept. of `69 so probably not my black Post SS, but I'd love to know if it's still around.
My black car was sold to a used car dealer, when still nearly new in late `69, in Warsaw, IN
The original owner's wife didn't want to drive it in the snow with winter on the way.
Somehow the car found its way to Detroit, MI in the 70's, where I bought it from a few years ago.

So if you could search the IN classifieds late `69/early 70's, and the Detroit classifieds in the early to late 70's, maybe something will show up.
TIA for your help. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif

Sounds great Rick and I'll give searching your info a try tonight.
Overall, I can't believe how much really cool stuff there actually is also clues to dig deeper.
Great if we can match more of the ads w/ surviving cars but especially w/ the CA plate thing, maybe we can smoke a few out!

There is a green 1969 L89 Chevelle (real or not I can't say) but no vinyl top.

I haven't seen any info on this one before.

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, how do you come up with these?

My HM L78 was sold as a used car Stowasser Pontiac / Olds about 1971. It was then in the LA Times in 2000. I'd love to find the ad(s)

Thanks,

Tim

There's literally tons of stuff Tim but how you look/search makes a big difference on finding it or not...also luck!
Any success seeking specific vehicles depends on the old newspaper pages w/ the actual ads you're seeking having been scanned in recent years as although a lot have, most haven't and probably never will be?
I quickly tried searching Stowasser Pontiac also LA Times 1999-2001 and it seems there's little there for either but I'll try again later.
As for Drag Strip results, here's one post from further back in the thread showing some 1966 results at Lion's track.
There may be something similar from later years too so let me know what name/years you think the car was racing at Lions or other tracks and I'll give it a whirl.
Love your '68 L88 HM car!

Pete,

Stowasser Pontiac was about 71. While we are still confirming, we suspect the 2nd owners name was Mike (or Michael Satore of Santa Maria, CA. If our research is correct, he was killed between April 13 and April 15, 1971 in a car accident in Santa Barbara. We are searching to see if there is a newspaper article to this effect.

The LA Times ad was in 2000.

Any help is genuinely appreciated!

Thanks,

Tim

No luck searching the name or incident but I'll keep trying and post anything relevant.
Any Lion's Strip results listed appear to be of major names/classes, not local boys and their cars?
Sad but I did find the ad w/ Lion's track equipment and truck for sale after closing in Dec. '72, as below.
Keep digging Tim and hopefully something clicks!

Don't miss the other Aluminum head ads too as there's some 'interesting' stuff on this page.
I was wondering about the Queen City ad above w/ L89 RS, maybe the car Chuck had a few years back?
Here comes a few more, someone w/ CA connections needs to gain Vins from these old plate #'s!

One says 68 camaro with new L88 $2600.seems like the engine would cost quite a bit. What would a new L88 cost in the early 70s?
I enjoy reading these!

According to my '71.5 Motion catalog a Phase III 450hp 427ci was $1495. So I would say it was probably around that price..

It's funny how many old ads have everything with a 427 in it, with nary a 396 to be found. Wishful thinking/willful ignorance or were there that many 427's back then?

SS427

09-07-2016, 03:55 PM

I don't think so Mark. I remember back in the eighties I saw the same thing in my local Mpls Star and Tribune. I looked at literally hundreds of these cars and those advertised with 427's for them most part indeed had them. Many a car was purchased solely for the 427 engine and then another engine was swapped in and the car was sold. At one time I had many 427 engines and cars. I only wish I had kept some of those engines. One was yellow painted 425 hp 427 with a low rise 2x4 with some neat history. Unfortunately I heard the cha ching before I listened to the history so off it went. That was in 1981.

I didnt realize that they knew the production was 69 back then. I thought the story goes that they thought there was always 50 Gibb cars and then they found the other list of 19 when searching the number 2 ZL-1. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

I see now that it has rally wheels and the price, so this was apparently one of the other 19. They must have known.
