Somebody put a sticker of the Road Runner on it.

tell him that a friend of yours told it might be a rare car and you should call a car auctioneer named barnett jackson, but you don't know how to get in touch with him. ask your fish if he knows where to reach mr. jackson.

rick, find a pic on the net of the 'appropriate car' and send it to him when he takes the bait. tell him that you'd like to just see a 'flatbed haul the damn eyesore off..' have an emt standing by at his house though..

67, GTX!
Tell him it has a real funny lookin motor, must be something wrong with it though, the plugwires are stuck into the valve covers.

Tell him you found a picture in the glove box and it has the name of Richard Pelly on it and you don't know who that is.

You did not know your Uncle raced it, but it sure looks like it according to the picture.

There is also a nicer car just like it without all the numbers and stickers too and you will knock a $100 bucks off the snowblower if he will also take the cars.

Tell him you hang your laundry on the back to dry.

LOL....I think I'm going to tell him that I'll be at my uncle's house tomorrow and will take pics. I don't have a digital camera but a cell phone that will take fuzzy pics. Now to find some decal/emblem images to fuzz up a bit.

I haven't heard back yet. I hope my reply didn't go to his junk mail.

Close, but that would make it a Ford, like a Mustang, Torino, etc...

I think 426 is what you were looking for.

steve..yep, 426.

Tell him that, sadly, the car may have been tampered with. For some reason, it has no carpet, no rear seats and no radio and it has skinny tires on plain ol' steel wheels, but it does have what appears to be a truck engine or something. Perhaps someone could get some use out of it, since it has almost no miles.

I would definately go with a Yenko Camaro, if you go with a Camaro being the second car.

Oh, BTW - how much do you want for your uncle's Cuda? I'm interested, and I'll take it off your hands for $10k. That's a fair deal on an old rusty car that I'll probably sell to the local junkyard as scrap metal. Got any pics?

Tell him the old '67 Camaro has a Ford engine in it, because you know Chevy never made a 302.

johnco · 03-21-2007, 04:15 PM

tell him there's an old Chevy stationwagon there also. Called a Nomad or something. That it's in good shape but you're just going to have it hauled away since no one wants old stationwagons. the car crushers will give you $35 for it. Checked Ebay recently for prices after my friend said he found one way out in the country and would get it for me. some are going for up to $85,000.

Only a pool player would use the "fish" word. Wanna race to 13 for cheap?

Actually, I'd love to find a solid '64 Chevelle TWO DOOR wagon...with the sliding rear windows, they were kind of a mini nomad. Couldn't you just see one, kind of Z-06 underneath???

johnco · 03-21-2007, 08:50 PM

I couldn't believe all the wagons at Crusin the Coast this year. last time there were none. my niece has a Vista Cruiser and she gets asked to sell it everytime she takes it out. I think I may have seen the car you're talking about not too long ago in my daily travels. If I find it again, how do I get it to you?
wait a sec.. I've got one in the back yard I believe.. he says as he baits the hook. hehehe just kidding
