thank you for posting the pics for me.almost all of the cars were driven in there.some of them are so bad they are ready to break in half.the only thing holding them together on some is the driveshaft.

Has anyone considered sneaking in to check the VIN on that priceless 69 rag top TA?? I mean obviously people already are sneaking since things are stolen you said. It would be worth it just to find out if this is the 8th ragtop 69' that is yet to be found. Someone with some bucks or even GM would want to know and I bet that they could coherce the guy who owns this TA graveyard to sell it!!

The cars are for sale.....at least that is what the man told me he hoped would happen who owns the land. Seems the T/A "collection" owner hasn't paid his rent for eons (imagine that), and the landlord is trying to convince him to sell a couple to pay up.

This is the story a gentleman gave me at Russo. I was next to a 69 T/A RAV (I know, I didn't think so either) and a man asked me who owned it. I told him I didn't know and he proceeded to tell me he was looking for someone to buy "some" '69 T/As. I tried to appear only casually interested (it was tough). He then recited the story above. Has to be these cars......unless he meant the lot down the road......
