Old Man with a Hat
I don't want to infringe on another's thread so thought I'd start one for cool hidden car finds. I'll start with a Challenger I found by word of mouth. But any cool old car find is OK here.
My Mac tool guy, while I was at Roush racing turned me on to, what he said, was a 70 Challenger stored in a shed outside of Toledo Oh. He had got it from a relative but knew nothing about it. I got the location, drove about 50 miles and found it parked under a tarp. I rolled the tarp back over the roof so I could look at it and under the hood. There was a block with no heads and the 4 speed trans was gone and as I was looking at the fender tag I realized it was a 71 and not a 70. A closer look revealed a "V" engine code both on the tag and on the VIN. A six pack 71 Challenger R/T, and with the drag pack 4:10 Dana no less....One of 126 built. Cool.
I bought the car for $1500.00 and went back to pick it up. I decided to try and flip it first before getting into a restro, and listed it in Hemmings motor news. I priced it at $7K and it sold in two days, went to California. Not heard anything about it since.
