undiscovered cars

After reading the large responses to the threads about George's 1969 Yenko Chevelle and Charlie's barn find Corvettes, I thought it might be fun to duscuss rare muscle/race/supercars that we know about but keep under our hats. Everyone knows of at least one car that they've heard about or seen that can't be bought yet for whatever reason. Nobody needs to divulge locations but let's just hear what's out there. Here's a couple of mine: a one owner 1968 L-79 Nova that been parked for almost 20 years (almost was able to buy it last summer)and a 1961 Fuelie Vette that's been parked since 1970. I remember a real 1963 Z-11 aluminum front Impala parked outside of a backyard garage for years back in the eighties. That one is long gone!

--------How about a one owner 64 421/4spd/8-lugs/tri-power Grand Prix? White with turquoise interior with 41000 original miles. Nice older owner seems to want to sell but has had his head filled with mis-information about its value. Its not without its problems but would be a relatively easy resto as all original parts are there, but $30,000 is just out of the question. I keep in touch with him as I keep hoping he will see the light before something disasterous happens to it...........Bill S

Second owner (since 1972) unrestored, all original (except for wrong carb) 1969 Z-28. Flat hood, blue w/white stripes, approx 70k miles. I have been trying to buy this since 1978. 1969 FG Yenko Chevelle ( same owner since at least 1985), now under restoration. Both in Western PA/Pittsburgh area.

Two years ago, I heard about an old Camaro drag car in a backyard. I found the car and it happened to be a real 1968 Z/28. It had Mighty Mouse lettered on the side and I could have bought it for $500.00. The car was very rough but did have the title. I didn't think the car was savable but I watched it sell on E-bay later for $3200. I think someone even posted photos of it on this site.

Rumor has it,the Indiana Amish hold title to the Draggin Deuce.

I love these hidden car stories!
I know of a 1972 Z28 sitting since late 70s in a neighboring town... Dark Green on Black, black stripes 4-spd, Possibly for sale. My neighbor has a Delorean (sp?) sitting at least for the last 17-20 years.

No, this one never sat outside. However, there is a green 1970 SS Chevelle sitting about 50 feet off the road with a tree or two growing in or around it on "Conway-Wallrose Road" in western PA. I first saw it in 1978, and at that time it was NICE . I saw it again last summer...it is not so nice now. And yes, everyone I know that has seen it over the last 27 years has tried to buy it although it may not be worth much now.
