EDIT.... This car was at the boonesborough boogie bash, and the area code is Lexington KY. I live in Lexington by the way.

I used to see lots of stuff like this when I drove a truck for UPS, the coolest car I ever found was a 69 Z/28, code 10, black, X33D80, with standard interior(black),flat hood with open element air cleaner, and the only options it had was am/fm radio and rosewood package. The guy has every piece of paperwork with it except the original window sticker, it was bought new from Traders or North State chevrolet in Greensboro, NC. I offered him 25K three years ago and he wouldn't take it, but will not fix it either, he is big time into bikes, but the one great thing about the car is that it is stored inside in the dry, it has 64k on the odometer, and when he built his new house 10 years ago he drove it there and has not moved since.

I work for the phone company and I drive around all day looking for stuff.Somebody told me about this one a while back and I looked at it from the street,but today I went there and inquired about the ownership,and found a hole in the fence to walk through and take pictures.The vacant lot is owned buy a business across the street that is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays so later in the week I will be going back to inquire about it and leave my name with the owner.The car was last inspected in 1979,the odometer shows 19,000 miles and it looks like it could be original.It is a 1970 400 formula,most of what you see is surface rust,and all the rust through on the entire car combined would equal the size of a baseball,and the underside is rock solid.The body has only minor dings and a lot of surface rust,with the worst damage being a single 6" flat spot on the body line of one door,but it is fixable.The interior needs a rug kit and a ton of cleaning,but the only rip is about a 1" tear in one seat,the rest of it isnt even really worn,just real dank.I have no idea of the engine other then that the car sits down in the front so it must have one,and by the looks of how stock the car is,I would be willing to bet it is the original,or a properly replaced dealer waranty piece.Otherwise,it looks to need every soft part in the resto book,but all the hard stuff is there.I would really like to get this car and make a nice daily driver out of it.Here are some pics.The 12 bolt with a sway bar is a nice score alone.

Nope; you'll most likely get the old "I'm going to fix it up someday" line. Good luck though; I hope you can save it from the weather.
