That's why I only opened my garage doors after dark, and had the lights off when I pulled anything in or out. Even worse now that everyone carries cameras in their pockets.

Its funny.. I found a barn/garage find yesterday.. Sat for 41yrs on the same property.. One owner car too.. Ultra rare L78 rumored to be a non-converted Motion/Dana/Yenko/Berger/Panther/Gibb car.. Checked the fluids pumped the gas pedal and hit the key and bingo it came to life.. Even drove it down the road once.


Sorry couldnt resist..

If I ever get to see this COPO 9561 I know about, I will definitely try to get it to run but not after changing oil and using a oil primer first before it gets started.
Cant imagine the tank is good either. been sitting for 40 years.

I was kidding dude.. Its my 68 L78 car (father purchased new). Haven't had it out in 6 months and thought I would enjoy it yesterday morning before people got out on the streets then back in the garage and under the cover for another extended period of time.

Crazy cameras... I built a new garage last year and I turned it 90 degrees so even with the doors up no one sees in while driving by. For several years I have taken many different routes home and even passed my road because of the people that follow the cars we all drive. They will pull in your driveway behind you to have a look or ask "how much"..

It looks like a tow bar on the Stage 1 in the first picture. Did this car have a race history?
