thats a hell of a find.

clean up the engine bay. change the fluids. and get the engine to "new" condition. and that thing would sell for over $100,000 at barret jackson

That could all be taken care of easily. This thing would sell for quite a bit of money after a nice cleaning. I just don't understand why someone would buy a car and then just store it for 25 years but I guess it was a good idea in the long run

First of all that car is not worth as much as you think. Maybe it would go for about 20 grand in this market. I would assume less. Second, something does not seem right, those are not IROC wheels. Why does it have those wheels on it?

Its a nice find but i wouldnt think anybody would pay over 20 to 24K for it. Lock it away for another 30 years and then you can start thinking 6 digits. I know where a old lady has a Monte Carlo SS like mine but blue thats been sitting under a car port for over 20 years and she will not sell the damn thing. I has just under 30,000 miles on it.

People will pay way more then that just because of its rarity. Rich people will spend tons of money to be the only one with something

I love stories like this. I wonder if it is stolen. I didnt listen to the video not sure if they commented on the owner history/title etc. But something just doesnt add up.

Not to hijack but I cleaned out my dad's shop this summer before he retired and met another guy there who wanted to me haul some junk away from his cousins barn, as he had passed away.

Found a canvas tarp underneat a pile of crap which was covering two brand new Honda motorcycles from the late 60's. They both have less that 1000 miles on the OD and are mint. I cleaned them up this summer and they run. The title, original keys, tool bag, and manuals were with them... There arent worth all that much I would imagine. On ebay they dont go for too much it would appear. Not interested in sellin em anyhow, they look wickid in the garage and I am going to drive the cb77 this summer :P Spokes n Drum Brakes !

1st was a 67 Honda s90, looks like this:

Second was a 68 Honda cb77

http://www.650motorcycles.com/RideNew6.jpg (No thats not me)

I can post pics, but I dont think anyone would care...

Anyhow, this is a great video, and don't be too suprised if it gets more than 20 000. I would say 30 000 - 35 000

Yes I know about the wheels. Story is they were sold when the car was new to purchase custom wheels. The custom wheels never made it on the car. I am not going to touch the car. I will be selling it as is either privately or on ebay. Anybody interested?

That is awesome!!

it's like finding buried treasure.

here's a story for you guys...

when I was little I went with my dad and grandpa, to my grandpa's friend's house who just passed away, anyway my grandpa's friend didn't have kids, his wife was already dead... ect... so he left my grandpa in his will cuz they were friend's since they were kids. He had an old barn waaaayyy in the back of his property, so we went back there to check it out, we opened the door and there was an old boat in there, a tractor, a bunch of other junk, but in the back of the barn was an old 69' Camaro Z28, and next to it was like a 38' Ford Coupe... it was all souped up, and my grandpa never knew his friend had these cars stashed away, I guess apparently he used to run moonshine in the old Ford back in the day, and the Camaro, had like 13,000 miles on it. Very awesome.
