It's good to have a project car if you got another to show off in...with the time and money one puts into a old car it's almost better to buy them finished, but then you can't say you did yourself..

'"Hey I remember that car, it use to belong to John Doe over in Garret county"..heard that a many a times...
Long ago in the 80's I had a friend (Bobby P) call me and said he heard of two cars (Camaro and EL Camino) been sold because the renter had given them to the owner of the house just to cover the back rent and they had moved leaving all. He asked if I wanted to buy one of them and he wanted the El Camino since he was Nut over those. Needless to say I should have went to with cash in hand, he called and said he was buying both.. can't remember the prices to well but I believe both went for a grand each, both in street condition and there were enough parts in the garage to build a few more motors..it was a gold mine, when I seen him come rolling up with all on the roll back I almost had the big one. One was a 69 302 Z, the other was a 71 350, he turn the 69 for 4700.oo
Reason I did not go, I was waiting on a buyer, selling a set of BB Square port heads, sold for 400..
Those days are gone now, I have a New And better hobby. One that pays for itself...
