Patrick Glenn Nichols Musclecar Barn Finds. Patrick I watch enough Mecum without even watching the video yet, you're correct, a copo with Auto, yes very few ordered. I watch Mecum reruns and all AM/PM don't matter. Waiting for Mecum in Harrisburg,PA August 2,3 & 4th. I'm a purist, as a car guy we never stop learning. Do you have a business or partners? I was in accident last year and now disabled, have a substantial case going, wanted a shop but not able to do work myself at the moment, I could be a money partner in the future if needed, nothing I love more then seeing forgotten about cars of any kind and picturing them back to show room condition. A lot of this younger generation has no passion for cars, it's sad. Thanks.

I also live in Indiana close to the Indianapolis area and would love to be able to get my own barn find. I just don't where to start. Plus I'm a younger guy at only 31 years old. I would love a tip out 2 if you have time to spare.

That green is a gorgeous color.

In 81 even a 69 Z-28 that wasn't crashed was still low lying fruit. Let it go man.

thats when gas was real. by 80s you couldnt run 12.5,but 11 pistons and a visit to local airport for high octane jet fuel

@@raycarter6225 jet fuel is kerosene won't burn in a car, and the guys that tried using high octane aircraft gasoline made for the piston engine planes found out real quick it burned their engines up , we had pretty high octane fuel in the old days, go to the station and see regular and ethyl pumps, ethyl stood for tetraethyl lead. i forget the octane of the ethyl gas but it seems like it was close to 100, some companys even sold blended at the pump in the 60s i think as high as 103 octane.,not bad because when i started using howell fuel in the 80s their circle track fuel was only 105 octane. The

@@jimmieroan9881 my memory is getting bad, maybe it was avaition fuel. only problem i had it would put a rusty looking build up on the plugs instead of the normal carbon look

@@raycarter6225 your right airplane fuel it's 107-109 octane and we still buy it to this day for our dirt track cars

Are you talking about Fisher Body in Cleveland , Ohio ?

@@dalemihocik4732 Hamilton Ohio north of Cincinnati.

I also live in Wash. Co. and remember that place well. Lots of Stinger's there.

Is a Yanko different from a Yenko?

...you are so right , start that resto. no dough? don't buy that beer ( wine) that burger, eat green save's you money and pumps up your health....and give's you strengt to work....

I’m a younger guy than most here , but my tale is from the newer generation. I graduated in 91 , and that year my dad bought a new car. Big deal till 03 when they offered him 500$ on a trade in for a new car. My dad keeps his cars mint , this was in excellent shape. So he calls me and asks “want a car for 500$? “ Sure I do. Ok sorry to burst your bubble but it’s a red 2 door 91 Jetta diesel. Not a mommy 4 door but a coupe as the kids call them now, and those that know watercooled vws dig em cause they are not so common. I’m glad I wasn’t into it in 03 and basically drove it a little and parked it and didn’t cut it up and modify it. I resurrected it in 2012, and it’s been a fun journey ever since. It’s never had a hole drilled anywhere, I’ve got all the stock parts and every piece of paper ever. I’m just as anal as you musclecar guys with the correctness and the preservation. Matter of fact I just got some nos goodies off eBay, one of them being the corner window sticker with the engine break in instructions. And I scored a couple of interior parts with date coding really close to what’s correct. Same but different cause it’s newer then the classic stuff , but I’m having a lot of fun with it. Thankfully my dad’s still here and I let him drive it still.

did they come out with a lemans blue copo with a auto let me know that wud be cool 2 find one

Died 2 times ... restored 3...not bad!

To the guy with the broken record comment. Some very experienced individuals advised me that the most important information should be stated early in the video, again in the middle, and in closing. This is so guys don’t have to rewind to get the meat. Not a broken record just following the advice of those who have experience with informative videos. The idea is to stay on the topic and not on things nobody wants to hear about.

Good advice, stay on point. Enjoyed the video

It's just the 3rd digit, the first two digit denote it was made for the US market, the 3rd is the engine, and the 4th is the body type coupe or convertible. If it had a V8 in a first gen you can't confirm with the VIN what engine it came with or if was a base, RS, SS, or Z\28.

Brandon F a family member of mine has a 67 yenko all original numbers matching, it's unbelievable what theses cars are worth now

Mord Fustang it was nikey Chevrolet, I think you're confusing it with Nick's garage. And Baldwin-Motion was in long island New York

Baldwin Motion was in New York

probably $80k to $100k if it done right. if car owner can do the restoration by him self of course it be way cheaper . probably worth $300k to $400k cuz there only 30 with automatic transmissions

car is worth to much to be driven hard . it be dumb there to much value in that car .if this car was driven hard in 70's it wouldn't be here now . we need to thanks the guys didn't drive them old classics cars just saying

I'll sell it for $500 if interested

Bob Jane circuit raced one, and sponsored the other one for drag racing. The drag car eventually went circuit racing too. They both still exist in Australia.

Jim Clarke 8 years was a long time to race a car back then lol so that’s normal unless it was bought and parked.

looks like it was a street car

That and they use salt on the roads in Indiana .If you lived in northern Indiana back then you were lucky to pay the car off before starting to rust out

They will not restore it. Instead they will clear over the dust and rat turds for authenticity

Lol. I had nine of the first gens in different trims. The most expensive one was a 69 Z28 with a bad motor for $995. The next one was a 67 SS/RS with a 350 for $695. They were just used cars. My friends used to troll on me for driving old cars. And this was from ‘74-‘79. Sometimes I could kick myself.

chris lawrence I know what you mean. Lol

Dazed and Confused

Alright, alright, alrigggghhht

BENNIEDARRELL no sir

Agreed !! One of my motivators when i was younger was this car and my quest to get one some day... i decided after losing my shop in 2015 that i would rather have an average one and tweek it myself. and buy many more for the price of one. getting old makes you get real or work hard tryin'

Don't know if any other intake companies made similar manifolds, but Edelbrock Torkers were made like that.
