I know of plenty of hidden/sitting cars in my area, the problem is the people either wont let them go or they just wont answer the door. I know of a 70 challenger just sitting with surface rust, two 69 4spd roadrunners that are gutted and have been sitting since before i was born, and a few A body cars. And yes, i would like to know how much

Just enjoy it and build as you can afford it. My '69 Barracuda should be out this year, finally... but the paint is what was on it when I bought it... looks OK going down the road I suppose but no show queen.

The engine is finally done, I found the receipt for the crank a little while back and I had bought it in 2003... so it's been 6 years of wheeling and dealing, getting parts for Christmas, etc. just to build the stroker.

Buy an Omni and drive it for about 10 years... you'll love your car again! LOL!
