I found this one not even five miles from home. I was sitting in traffic and spotted it way off on the hillside. After about 20 minutes of trying dead end roads and alleyways, I figured out exactly which road on that hillside led to it. I was hoping it would be a '69 Yenko, but it turned out to be a '68 SS396. Still looks like it was a cool car in it's day. Not much left of her now.

That's about as buried as they get. All that was missing was the tombstone.

A true SS396 car for sure, but no signs of engine or trans at all. Originally a 4 speed car, with at least one bad repaint. Dig the hand scheened tow hooks, installed through the bumper with a hot wrench.

I spoke with the owner's mother, a very elderly lady who agreed to allow me to snap some pics. She said it hadn't been driven in 15 years or so. My guess is it's been a lot longer than that. Inspection sticker expires July 31, 1975. I wasn't even born yet.
