What Did You Car Look Like When You Found It

[BumperMan]

Guys was wondering what your car looked like when you found it and started restoring it? Here is a pic of mine.

Here was mine:

Mine wasn't that bad- it was sitting for 30+ yrs inside a garage before it got a quick coat of primer and was put on ebay.

My brother's is on the right, and mine is on the left. He got the better body, while I got the complete engine. Both are numbers matching, but he has to build his engine up from the block. When I gutted the interior, I removed over 80 lbs of black walnuts and the petrified carcass of a deceased squirrel.

Here is my 73 Roadrunner. Wasn't in to bad condition but still decided it needed a overall.

Called and asked my Uncle if he still had that old Plymouth. He said, "It's 'parked' in the barn. You want it, come get it."


A well kept car!

Had to use a small tractor to get her out. A front wheel was locked and tires would hold air for about 5 minutes.

Pulled out in 2009. At 15yrs old, I drove it in...in 1979!

That GTS is quite a 'project'...but after seeing your 'chicken', I know you are up for it. I think a big block A body will be a HANDFULL of fun!

Just getting it home after a 14 hour day. Last tagged in 1982. The second owner gave 2 baggies of pot for it.

My 64 Dodge on the way home after buying it Jan. 2008. No engine or tranny, interior junk. Tranny cross member and body brace- floor cut out, coil over shocks and 4X4 wood blocks between the axle and body for tire clearance!
Now Driveline all done and in the paint shop. .........................MO

Here's a pic of mine when I found it, numbers matching '69 Charger R/T SE. It was sitting in a little barn/shop in Norwalk CA next to a '70 GTX, really cool to find and talk to the owner

Wow what great stories with all these great cars

14 hours, man you had it easy Joel! I got off work on Friday, drove through the night to L.A., loaded up and BS'd with the owner for a couple hours the next day when we got there, and drove through that night back up to Oregon. About a 34 hour mission, I was comatose pretty much all day and night after I got back lol :icon_thumleft:

You guys are saints or glutens for punishment - well we all are. My Grandpa bought the '62 in '69 and drove it until he passed in '92. Brother sat on it in his back 40 until '11 then said, "I'm not going to do anything with it, come and get it". Never even asked about it or for it, but I said OK and fetched it in '12......

Jesus Paladin, I had to change my shorts after seeing this picture. Your body man deserves a hummer from Angelina Jolie.
