67 68 69 Camaros are like that also. Unibody.
If one has been raced at the track with 600 to 700 horse engines. The tell tail sign is the rear
windows do not roll up at all, or easily, as that power twisted it like a cork.
Old cars rotting away on your route?

My 1st car 1956 Ford friend-100 272 Y block, Borg Warner T-98 4-speed.
EXCELLENT Truck. A bear that would always start, and go, and could pull out a tree stump.
2nd one, 1964 Nova, 327 4 speed.
Many German cars in Germany, but then I had a 1965 Olds, 330 Powerglide.
Then a 1972 Pontiac Firebird, with the 350 pulled out, and a 1967 Pontiac 428 inserted in.
It had 2.73 rear end gears, and would do 65 to 70 in 1st (valves floating) 110 in 2nd, 145 to 150 in 3rd
with urine running down my leg, in fear with bias ply tires, and front end shake on the German Autobaun.
I then had a 1964 Belair 4-door, with a 283, Corvette "Double Hump Cylinder heads" 204 / 214 lift cam
1 5/8 inch headers, 1.52 roller rockers, Edlelbrock Perfomer Intake.
Then I wore out the 283, and put a 1970 GMC 4-bolt main 350 Truck block in that 64 Belair, with double
hump heads and a 350, 350 horse cam, etc...
Sorry, back to old ate up neglected on route autos.

And all this time I thought you were a Ford guy.

Growing up, my mom had a '57 Chevy 4 door hard top Bel Air in a rare salmon color, parked in the garage from the time we moved into the house. I bugged and bugged for her to let me have/buy it so I could attempt to restore. She kept telling me I would never get to it and refused to let me do anything with it. Then she sold it to a guy she worked with. I was mildly upset about it, but.....so be it.

Living here, you tend to miss most of that. It's just everyday life here. :shrug: and most people here have a "grass is greener mentality" and don't realize how good we have it here.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
There's a guy that has a sweet road runner sitting in a barn on a route I cover. Every time I deliver I ask if he's ready to sell. Nope gonna restore it.
In 6 years never seen it move or anything. Sad part is its in great shape. Looks like you could air up the tires wash and wax it and its be ready to roll. So sad.

Yes it's for real, there was a 4 doors that looked a lot like it about a mile from there. It disappeared about a year ago. Did anyone on here live near the guy that had 21 semi trailers stuffed full of rare cars and parts? I think it was in NE Wisconsin. The guy had several Vettes, a Yenko Camaro and several LS6 Chevelles all stored inside of these trailers parked end to end to prevent theft.

I like GM, but Mopars, older Mopars.........
Nothing like a 383, 440, 426 from the 70s. Guess you must wait until he passes (unfortunatley)
and perhaps aquire from his family / wife after he is gone. I have seen it so many times.

Is he is like 45-50 and lives with his mom. She would sell it to me in a heart beat lol

There is another farmer I deliver to that has 3 barns full of old muscle cars. Plus probably a 1/4 acre of them lined up in his back yard. No clue what his plans are but there are some cars that in the right hands would be worth a ton.
