Default One owner 69 rust bucket Copo Chevelle

I just heard about a one owner 69 copo chevelle sitting in a near by city for sale very very cheap. The problem is the gentlemen that found the car wants to buy it ( but hasn't) and won't come of its location but did tell me what city it's in and the general location. The cars supposedly all original but very very rusty. I'm gonna make up some flyers and post them in and around the city it's supposedly at. Could be a tale but I can't leave it lay without trying to locate it!

Why not just offer the guy a "finders fee" if he helps you close the deal?

Rich,
I suppose I never thought about that.

Sounds like the original owner WV Copo Chevelle that was sitting outside on tree stumps, at least it didn't sink into the dirt. It did ultimately get restored, silver 4 speed car.

Sounds like the 71 Hemi GTX I used to hear stories about. Guy never had the cash to buy it but wouldn't tell anyone else where it was. That went on for years before he shut up about it. I guess somebody with money in their hand finally stumbled over it.

I don't know how far you are from Thorington lake, but I will bet he is talking about the rusted out Copo that's sitting over there. Took a look at it about 5-7 years ago.Very Very rusty. When I went to open the hood, the hinges ripped apart. TT was still there but the firewall and much of the cowl was rusted away. VIN tag was rusted away. All the other sheetmetal and much of the inner structure is total junk. Is a real car and will need a complete rebody. OH yeah the price wasn't cheap unless the owner came back to reality.

I have heard about the car but have never seen it in person. I had heard the price was $50k.
