    My dad and I were on our way to look at a O/T truck this morning in NC , and afterwards , We decided to call a guy that had a '66 Impala wagon for sale in Roanoke , VA , well , we just programmed his address in the GPS , asked for the fastest route , and this thing took us across so many goat path roads , I thought we would never find our way home , we actually found a way off of fancy Gap mountain , that doesn't involve either rt.77 or rt.52 (those around this region will understand and appreciate that move) it was literally a one lane road goat path that was paved , anyway , we came thru this little community , and low and behold , Vintage tin on both sides of the road , just setting there , nobdy was home , but , I got the address off of the mailbox , along with a name , I WILL be back there soon , here's some pics , enjoy....

    It wouldn't matter to me where it was, I wouldn't be roaming around somebodies place. Good way to get shot. If I come home and there's a strange car in the drive I block the drive, I live in the woods so there's no way around me, until I find why they are here.

    Oh I see. The road circles around the Burb allowing you to get pics of both the front and rear

    Great story, great find. Glad to know there are still places where people can have cars and trucks without the authorities and thieves running off with it all. You gonna try and deal for the Suburban? Best of luck, man! Please update your thread later, if so. Thanks for sharing.
