Chickeridge,readin your post again....Yes,i did make a profit on the sale and the car went to a guy that is able to fix it,of course!!...Yes,car is gone,so no way to get it back in some years...luckily i do know more of those but you're correct,they're gettin scarce every day more... On the other end you have no idea how much valuable stuff went to scrap for peanuts simply for local ignorance and wantin to get what??150/200 bucks scrap metal instant cash...many Hemis went this way...heavyweight,lack of parts,thirsty as hell = Perfect scrap candidate!! I wont start tellin you all these sad happening all the time stories,makes me really sick....so,sometimes i get frustrated about this,cause i can't do more what im doing now according to my limited resources...it's a lost war im afraid!! Sled
Sled: Well,somethin for muscle car fans...67 GTO,4 speed...yep..a real 242 one!Weird story on this one cause the actual owner is a low budget guy,no way he could have bought such car in the past...probably owner was a gringo that left it there after the holidays or a messy party time,who knows?? Original drivetrain ,interior and such...luckily the area is very dry and desert ,like AZ so no rust ...Grill comes with the car.. Sled
holy shit!!! a '57 98 convert!!!!! I'd think about gettin' back with my x-wife for that!! Seriously, I could never that, but anything else... If you do get it and think of selling it pleassee pm me!! awesome, just awesome......
65Riviera,you bet i'll try to rescue that 57 Olds..love that thang myself,and luckily she still is in very solid conds considerin the long time sitting there...have no idea when i will be in the position to jump on this but i'll figger out a sort of plan,wish me luck ....Sled
Wow, it took me two days but i finally got through all 52 pages. It is amazing all the stuff you are finding. I really wish my piggy bank was a little bigger. I saw several things I want.
Rustbucket,tryin to buy this one..can't wait to go there and deal this 67..it's planned for end of next week....actually very hard to find down here a real GTO...have'nt seen 1 in years...Sled
Rustbucket,no worries...i got already couple of guys interested in the 67 GTO...good luck with your 65 project....
Sled: A good number of muscle cars came up recently...here's a 67 fastback sittin since many years..old man is very stubborn and his fun was just showin this thing and tell anyone is not for sale...but recently he just realized that soon car will be rotten out and no more games will be payed..so he changed his mind...have to talk to him and see if a deal can be struck here...Sled
Sled: Here another muscle project that showed up...71 Challenger.Just to show the variety of what's down here...looks like there is a good number of muscle cars still sittin out there...tryin to figger out the best ones worth it to save...still dreamin a 426 in one of these as a find...not sure on this one but looks like a 383BB...Sled
Sled: Well,more muscle stuff....here a 69 Camaro used in local drag racing ...looks like it's a real Z28 car but i have to find out when there...owner used to have a BB Chevy engine on it but as you see he put this thing on a side....he said that it will be for sale...many of these cars they end up flipped over and destroyed according to the infos i have...the just race on bracket classes with no rules...so strange things happen....this looks still quite solid an wirth it to save....Sled
Sled: Not many around of these Ford 40 pick ups...this has been in storage for 20 years or more and previous owner did nothing....no idea where he found it!Then sold it locally last year but the current owner could'nt keep it with the local economy,so recenly went up for sale...no idea if is already gone by now.A cool one to me but you can't buy em all....Sled
Sled: Well,somethin sad here...an old yard in a desert area with probably 500 or more cars sittin since long....unfortunately all of em are in very poor conds,mostly heavily damaged ...luckily the area is very dry ,so they are not rottin at all.The newest plates are from 1975/76...Too bad really,even wih the greatest intentions there is not much that can be saved ...yeah,parts for sure at list!! Im really too late here....Sled
MagnusB,tack as usual buddy for postin the pix....Mopar fans,looks like there is a real Fury 58 above ,is that right???What a shame... Gotgas,can you confim please?? Sled
sled, what kinds of prices are they getting for the challengers, cudas, mustangs and camaros down there?
Gotra66,hard to answer on prices..there are no rules here!For example the A stuff Ford is very expensive for sentimental reasons...way overpriced!50's cars are quite ok and cheap most of the times...muscle cars,depends who got em!!Also if the owner needs fast cash,you offer too...i mean,each case is different...good deals can be made for sure anyway...is all relative!! Sled
Jesus christ...!!! I haven't cruised the HAMB in a year or more,, but I remember this thread being on page one 'back then'.... Wow.....
Hello Gfaules F,looks like you've well covered all Panam Mex race threads on the latest cool adventures of you,well done!! Glad to hear some great news from ya and lookin forward to follow the whole race this year,will be a blast... Gary,are you racin this year or not?Not clear to me yet...looks like your son has already took he right direction,eh? Been with Mats Hammarlund in san Miguel recently and he was cool as usual,actually he was waitin for Stig Blomquist the followin day to show up.. Huatulco,here we come ....october is not so far away!! PS.This time i will definately introduce myself...missed you last time in Aguas Calientes...all the best,Sled
Gfaules,please...feel free to repost your latest post on my thread here...welcome,and let's spread the Panamericana news around...the coolest race on the planet will be back in october again...Sled
Sled, I'm not sure where I can post it. A few days ago I was banned for life for posting it and I had to crawl on my hands and knees to be able to post again. lol. The truth is they were very accomodating after I explained that I really didnt mean to abuse any H.A.M.B guidlines. That said, since there are so many here that would enjoy reading about my newest endevor regarding La Carrera Panamericana and what my good friends Hershel McGriff and Bob Bondurant did for me how can I post it without violating the rules? Can I post my blog address where you can read all about my personal envolvment and the latest news and whats available?
Sled, I like your attitude: While you are still young & strong, SAVE as much of the old stuff as possibe, right? I did it when I was young. NOW, the '30s through even the '70s stuff is all gone, cruched or rusted away. Salute!
hi Gfaules,you have to understand that this is a public friendly forum and when i saw you your last identical post in many mexican panamericana related threads it looked like you were promoting your last dvd and such..way too much on the commercial side so i tought myself the moderators would ban your ads right away,which happened...no worries,we do love panamericana stories here..simply use the right friendly way...why dont you talk or PM Ryan himself and ask directly...he-ll be friendly to tell ya how to move ... My 2 cents are ..just open a new thread about and attach your blog link for all to see....without promoting your stuff here,cause this is NOT the section ...there is a miscellaneous section for sale dedicated for this purpose..go there and put it on,easy... if you feel to ,just add your link here to this thread,i would love to see the latest news about those heroes...im sure many would love to see it too... keep it easy and have a great one,cheers Sled
Loco 52 ragtop,dont have coordinates but if youre serious about just PM me cause i know a friend o mine owns currently this car and might be¨for sale...aloha, Sled
Jimishemi291,glad you like the shit around here and luckily there is still lot of junk to be saved...gee,i have to admit there is less and less every day but i still discover new areas where to dig some shit out...i reckon that will be interesting to see behind all this stories in 10 years or so...so much stuff get destroyed all the time ,kinda sad vibe sometimes....but lets keep the dream up for now....cheers Sled
Sled I actually got to see and tour/hear a running, unrestored LaSalle hearse liekt eh one you show here. Somebody on here apprently thought it was a custom or something. Yeah, they REALLY came that way. NICE woodwork, and the Caddy V-8 purred!
Those hearses are cool ones,love the carved woodwork really..actually im on my way to find an early 40's Caddy and an early 50's,both hearses ..see if im lucky enuff..keep the fun up...sled
Sled, just curious, what state of Mexico are you living & searching in? Is it NORTHerly? I had a friend/co-worker from a little north of Mexico City, but I imagine stuff around such a metropolis would have been pretty picked-over by now.
