Cars needed for Collection

[rubbinisracing]

I previously posted the Chevelles I want. I would like to get the following cars as well for my collection.

1958 Vette-Turqiose w/white coves
1963 Split window 340hp or fuelie
1969 copo camaro
1969 L78 camaro
1969 or 70 Mach 1 428
1969 or 70 boss 429
1968 Gt500kr
1965 vette 396/425
1968 or 69 L88
1971 vette LS6
1967 gt500

After I find some of these then I will look at Mopars. These need to be REAL cars with documents or Marti reports.

Any help would be appreciated!

I dont think I know of the car but do know of a yellow BB Corvette that was for sale a while back that makes it out to cruise nights.

[rubbinisracing]

Sam, looks like a nice car and with the Top Flight and the silver h/t will make a nice addition to someone else's collection. I appreciate the post. Keep your eyes open for me! Any chance Bidwell's gone sell Cardinals?

[rubbinisracing]

Jeff, I'll call about the car today. If you see that yllw BB please give me contact info or have the owner email me. Might give a whole new meaning to "shipping cost". Man am I jealous of your gig. Drinking Mai Tai's and walking to the mail box at the first of the month!

[Jeff H]

Your collection is missing a 69 Z28 JL8 crossram car. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Just kidding, nice collection you have going together there.

[rubbinisracing]

Thanks Jeff H! I think your right and will "gladly pay you Tuesday for a JL8 today." I'm doing the paperwork now for a 501c3 if you'd like to make a tax deductible donation! Just kiddin.
Good luck on your resto project!

[Jeff H]

I've been looking for donations for 5+ years trying to get my car done. I haven't had any luck yet though. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

That's some shopping list!!!

[golfer]

where is the vette and what is the price?
Thanks

[ssl78]

How about a 69 Camaro hugger orange Diamond certified COPO It recieved Vettefest Gold spinners a couple of times and I think it recieved 957 points on its Diamond certification. Probably one of the best restored COPO Camaro out there but also priced accordingly. If interested please send me a Email at [email protected]

[69YENKO162]

Is that Mick Price old car up for sale?

[ssl78]

yes, it was a March of 2002 feature car on this site

[mmcporter]

How about the hope diamond also? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Seriously, that is one ambitious list; you've been talking to Charley too much.

[rubbinisracing]

And you could put me one car closer if you sold me your LS6! Who's Charley?

[MYSTERYCHEVELLE]

Mike the cars I collect are based on a few principles:

1. Fiqure out how your gonna get out of it, before you get in it! While many times our plan doesn't include selling something we have wanted and waited for, things change and that time eventually comes. The thrill of searching for or building that special car is better than finally obtaining it (doesn't apply to cars with emotional involvement i.e. DarrenX33).

2.ALWAYS buy the BEST quality restored vehicle you can! Even if you do some or all of the work yourself, your time is worth something. Any body who has bought a car and paid for restoration knows its like building a house. You start with a budget but before its finished your 20% or more over.
You can't get the project from point A to point B for the difference.

3. NEVER EVER buy or build a Street Rod! These are built with a desire to be different, not to appeal to the masses. And they don't! Every auction I've been to has loads of these cars that guys have spent 90k on, and are now lucky to get 50k.

4.Always buy cars that have a history of collectibility, i.e 1970 chevelles. There were over 50,000 of the 396ss cars built and there value is steadily increasing. Tri five cars are another example.

5. Cars that have a long production run make the next generation aware of them and this creates a tie to early production. Mustangs, Camaro's, Firebird's and
Corvettes are all good examples. The short production run of the early GTO and a body style with no link to the past is the reason for the new GTO's poor showing.

6. Always buy limited production high horepower cars that sold well when they were new! If they were popular then, chances are good they be popular later.

Now go out and order your 06 Corvette ZO6 and 06 Shelby Mustang GT500.

Didn't mean to pontificate. Just wanted to answer your question completely and give some insight as to why I would want these particular cars.

[rubbinisracing]

Ralph,
Sure I'm interested. Send me an email or pm with info on car
Thanks, Howard

I went and looked at the car the first day it was in the trader. If it was what it was advertised as I would have bought it... it is far from the ad. The car has a 66 Corvette 427 390 and some one got crazy on the stamp pad with a die grinder and the ole mans number stamps.
That is the least of what was wrong... when I asked the guy for the build sheet he brought out a photocopy when asked about the original..he didn't know if he could find it or not.

[Mr70]

Would this happen to be a Lakewood Black Cherry LS-6,with the last two digits being 08?

[jfkheat]

The guy says the car has been sold. Here is how the car was listed.
James

1970 CHEVROLET CHEVELLE SS 454 LS 6 4 SPEED, 410 POSI TRACTION. 22,000 ORIGINAL MILES. BLACK, WHITE STRIPES, BLACK INTERIOR. HAVE BILLING SHEETS. CLASS A TITLE. $35,000 FIRM.

[firstgenaddict]

Car had mostly original paint but a tool box that was in the trunk had slammed in to the 1/4's and dented them out on both sides, it had a Hurst shifter installed and the console had been cut with a hacksaw. He said he bought the car at Padget Chevrolet in downtown Greenville but the build sheet showed City Chevrolet in Charlotte as the dealer.(he had an elaborate explanation) I asked him where he found the original build sheet... he couldn't answer the question...he just found it. The car had ladder bars and side pipes.(Day 2 really cool) It was probably worth in the $20,000 range... He insisted that the motor was original, even though it had a cast iron intake, a quadrajet, 66 casting dates, and the messed up stamp pad, if you could have found the original engine it might have been worth more but he wouldn't admit to anything, the cowl induction air cleaner was also gone, and it had rust through on the drivers 1/4.
It was probably 22k original miles but they may have been 1/4 mile at a time!

[COPO427]

Nice collection and want list. Are the Chevelles for sale Howard?

[rubbinisracing]

Mark'
Thanks for the compliment!
Currently no cars are for sale.

!969-70 Boss 429 KK1212 factiry race. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...222591&amp;rd=1 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=6236&amp;item=45542225 91&amp;rd=1)

[njsteve]

How about a perfect Z11 Pace Car? See it here: http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/110296/an/0/page/1#110296

[rubbinisracing]

Thanks mr396 but I have already got the Boss 429 I wanted. It's KK1437 Raven Black with an "S" Engine.

[rubbinisracing]

Thanks njsteve, but I'm not currently colecting pace cars.

I do have interest in a Hemi Charger RT/SE, know of any?

[hvychev]

How many of these cars have you aquired thus far? Any pics?

[rubbinisracing]

Frank I've added 4 cars since my post about cars I was looking for.

68 Camaro SS 396/350- Triple Black - wasn't looking for this car, but a buddy of mine wanted out and it had vintage air which is mighty important here.

69 Boss 429 - mentioned in previous post - Triple Black

70 Chevelle LS6 - Black Cherry/White interior (can't ever
have too many of these)

1963 Corvette Coupe Fuelie - Red w/black interior

All 4 Spds.

I'm very close on 2 other cars (1)1967 Shelby GT500-Nightmist Blue and (2) 1967 Covette Convertible 427/435 Red w/black interior (can't go wrong with a few of these either).

Thanks for your interest.

I will post some pics. as time allows. My 9-5 is starting to get in the way but it's what keeps this ship afloat!

[SamLBInj]

Is there photos of all these cars? Sounds like your really putting together quite a collection!

My 4 yr old would kill me if I sold it. (those are his baby shoes hanging from the mirror) Of the 14 produced, all are still around, though this was the only red one built. Mopar guru Galen Govier has the lowdown on where the others are. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Howard:

There is an LS-6 Corvette on e-bay currently. It is a real car, with documentation, HOWEVER the seller is NOT representing the car correctly. If your considering this car, let me know and I can fill in some information. Warren

[Chevy454]

"Paging Casey Marks, Casey Marks to the forum, please..." http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[Mr70]

I think this is the Corvette you are referring to.
What is it that is not being represented correctly?

You might want to check this link. It seems the same guy is "selling" the LS6. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/142873/an/0/page/0#142873

[Chevy454]

Man, some wierd cropping of pictures in that 'Vette auction...

[rubbinisracing]

Thanks Warren &amp; Steve,

Warren-for keeping your eyes open and Steve-for pointing this guy out and his feedback rating and the fact that he changed his user name.

Lets see.....You change your user name.....probabally because you want to hide something. Then in 4 transactions you screw that "fresh start" up! Run as fast as you can! That dog has fleas!

[Mr70]

Howard
How is Chevell-Abration going?

[SamLBInj]

Didnt know if you seen this, also says he just found a hemi cuda ..
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...590577&amp;rd=1 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=6236&amp;item=45555905 77&amp;rd=1)

[rubbinisracing]

Sam,

I've seen that car a few times lately on e-bay. He also has or had an LS6 for sale that has been on for the past month. It never gets over 35K and his last buy it now was 66K. The user name just kills me "autohauslosgatos" which I believe translates to "the cats garage" or maybe they specialize in german cars and jaguar.
It's on there again or still....don't know which http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayIS...941558&amp;rd=1 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=6164&amp;item=45549415 58&amp;rd=1) .
Somebody in So.Cal. should go look at the car. Could be a steal.
Faint odors of that auction can be smelt in Texas. It should be confirmed though. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[rubbinisracing]

Rick,
I've fallen in love more in the past 2 days than I ever did in High School. We parked and walked up one side of a hill and when we reached the top..... Chevelles everywhere on the other side. Must be 350-400 cars here, from blown engines with braided hoses to stock correct cars and everything in between.
The people here are whats best. It has rained off &amp; on the past 2 days, requiring the cars to be dried off repeatedly. Even the frustation of doing so doesn't keep the owners from telling you about thier car or sharing a story or passing along helpful info. The relaxed environment promotes the appreciation of the cars without the tension of formal judging.
This hobby brings good people from different backgrouds together. The CAR is king.

Your description of this event was "spot on"

[Mr70]

I've seen that particular Red LS-6 a few times,and on Ebay as early as 5 years ago too.
The A.C.E.S Chevell-Abration is done right.No one should ever mess with a good thing,and as long as Chuck is involved,they never will.
He keeps it real.

[SuperNovaSS]

Los Gatos is the town the place is located. It is 10 miles away from me if anyone needs a peek.


Jason

[TDW]

Jason...Is Los Gatos just a few miles from Patterson and Crows Landing?

[TDW]

Never mind. I was thinking Los Banos. Used to live in that area.
