The 68 Dart GTS was found in Cudahy. It had been stored in a strage facilty that was torn down. Last registered in 77. Not for sale, was dads and plan to restore it....

The GTO was on Moreland in Waukesha for well over a year. It looked to be a parts car. Still had a block and 4 speed inside of it. No one knew who owned it when I stopped.

The 71 Charger was a R/T that I found in Anamosa IA in late winter 04. Not one part left with a # on it. The shop it was behind was closed up. I assume there is a matching R/T running around somewhere in IA....

The oldie (Model A?) is siting on Hwy 32 just south of Ryan road. As far a I know it's still there. I didn't stop and ask since I have no room for what I have now!

I'll load a few more on Thurs. I have a lot to choose from!

Hmn.. haven't heard about that one yet! I did find a green 69 Z/28 last registered in 77. Haven't got enough cash flow to beat on the guys door yet!

I also have leads on a junk yard in NE WI that is supposed to have a Challeger T/A shell with a title. It's on my list!

Yeah this guy with the green yenko wont talk to anyone and wont sell it either, i guess his mom drove it last, spun it out in the rain, the car got parked ever since, that was 84' so the story goes on it, its fathem green with white stripes, the stripes are all cracked and peeling, lower body panels are all now rotten, engine is still complete and #s matchin, according to the Vin vs Engine stamp.

Damm, I bet you could steal that one night, hold onto to it for a year, then try to get a lost title for it. Maybe he'll forget about it or wont even bother to try keep it at that point.

That Yenko sounds interesting. Can't imagine what one would be worth as a pile of rust even! Get me the address and I'll shoot pics!


This Batch:

64 GTO: sitting next to a body shop in Cascade. 4 speed car, has an engine and trans in it. Last time I went pat it said not for sale on the windshield.

66 Charger: Sitting atthe crossroads of a town (sortof) called York Center. Seems to be a serious Mopar guy. Had a bunch of stuff I would like but all turning to dust. More pics to follow!

69 Z/28: Mine! Ok, someday when funding works out.. Looked to be all there and last registered in 77.


I will be getting more pics off the other computer. Have shot of a T/A graveyard in the Milw area. I'm sure some of you know about them already....

Dodge Coupe: Sitting on the hill on the west side of I43 at 164. Has a frame and engine under it but the body has been cut in half right behind the doors. Still solid...

67 Cougar: It was sitting in an alley in West Allis last year when we were house hunting. Didn't have time to stop and look real close. Wasn't there the last time I went past.

Ford Ranch Wagon: Shot that in Western WI on a 2 lane in late winter of 04. One of my all time favorite shots.

72 Buick GS: 350 with an automatic. Air induction hood. Nice and solid, sitting on the main drag in Fall River WI

10-27-2005, 02:23 PM
GTO Conv: Found on the N side of Milw at an import shop. The owner of the shop was very vague about who owned it or why it was there. Was gone by spring. 400, PW, Tilt, console. Looked to be loaded.

70 GTX: Found it being stored behind a church in Sheboygan county. 30k on the clock. 440, Automatic, A/C, white guts, console. Nicely loaded. Going to be restored soon.

Mercury Comet Conv's: Sitting behind a shop in Richfield. Talked to a guy in the shop, very nice and I'm sure the cars would be treated right.

70 Mustang Sports Roof: Sitting in Wind Lake (I think?) 351 car with a freaky roof treatment. Has been on cars in barns and in the same spot for 5 or 6 years.

Chevy II SS: very clean SS sitting in Rhine Center WI. Talked to the owner and he only wanted 10k for it......

10-27-2005, 02:29 PM
2 70 Superbirds: Owned by a husband and wife near Beaver Dam. Had a ton of cool Mopar stuff. I was so stunned when the son opened the garage and saw the wings that my pics sucked after that! Both 4 spd cars and driven!

Green 70 Superbird: Pics sent by a friend. 6 pack car if memory serves. Was sitting outside somewhere in WI. The garage had another bird with 20 some odd thou on the clock. He won't tell me where it was sitting.....

50's Stude: Sitting at a shop someplace near Madison. Looked like it was going to get worked on. Just a cool rod waiting to happen.

73 Torino GTS: Near Watertown. Never got a chance to talk to the owner but had to take a pic. Was amazed to see one left. Back when I was a kid you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a Torino.......

I'll edit more this eve!

Heh... that rotten pile of yenko camaro, if its all there, and can be restored w/o a re-body and has the right driveline parts for the car, its worth 65-75K! i **** you not!

We sold that 68' non coverterted rally green yenko/ COPO 9737 for 75, (#2 of 2 left in exsistance, we own #1 of two currently)and needed a 50K restoration... it was complete #'s matching low mileage car though.

Time for a few Wagons.....

The Buick Sprt Wagon and the Checker are sitting on the east side of 57 in Sheboygan county. The Checker is tempting (nothing gets you laid like a Checker wagon...)

The 59 Caddy Camper was sitting by the Chevy II I posted earlier.

The Pontiac El Camino (El Catalina?) was on Hwy 20 near East Troy. Nothing I want to know the history of....

The Plymouth Wagon was ona lot for sale with a few other odd ball cars in Juneau. Interesting rod material.......

I came real close to stopping and getting closer but heard banjo music in the air......

There may be something in the water making that stuff happen. Way back in the dark ages when I was a kid there was a guy near there with an Edlse Ranchero. My dad said you could slap an Edsel front clip on an Early Ranchero. Not sure why he knew that or why a person would do it.....

There are a few cars that I found that I didn't get shots of....

72 GS Stage 1 Convt in Fredonia. 1 owner, 30k on the clock, 4 speed, gold, white top, brown int. PW/PS/PL. Never seen rain or snow. Just stunning.

70 Cuda 440+6 (Real V code). Shaker car, 4 speed. Pro streeted and had not been out of the garage since the 90's.

Boss 351 Mustang near Oconomowoc. Black and silver 4 speed car. Made me light headed.

67 Chevelle SS. 396 4 spped. Blue, blue seats, blue carpet. Just about perfect. He also had a 55 Chevy sitting next to it that had a small block. Was about the nicest Tri 5 I have seen in years.

For the last year or so I was a contractor for Directv and got into all kinds of houses and saw all kinds of ****. I tried to get pics when I could but you could tell some people had no interest in anyone knowing about the cars and bikes they had hidden.

Really cool pics!

When I first saw CarsInBarns.com I probably spent a few hours looking at all the pictures. If I had a job which I was driving around alot I would probably do the same thing :).

A board member here I know helped haul away two mid 60's rare AMC Ramblers(?) or something for a towing company he helps out with a year or two ago.

I, like everyone else and their mom it seems, would love to find a 1st gen Camaro in restorable shape sitting in someones yard that can be had cheap, or another desireable muscle car.

I did see a 68/9 SS396 Chevelle body sitting in Sheboygan Falls last year. No one was home...

Here are pics of a 68 Camaro I found this year. 327, console, buckets. $2400. Was near Watertown. I was too late on that one! My buddy Andy just picked up the black Dart that is next to it in the pics.

Due to a double digit unemployment rate in my house I do have a 68 Camaro roller sitting on my lawn for sale though...

I'd love a 1st gen 'Maro, but I wont have the room/money for a few years....prolly wait until I have a house first, not to mention a couple other cars I'd like to get too. My girlfriends immediate family has 3 or 4 1st Camaros in it, dad restored a few, the most recent being a 69'(?) Pace Car convertible that he just sold to one of her brothers, other brother has a 1st gen and one of her sisters has a nice 1st gen too. Needless to say she wants to join the gang ;). And I wouldn't mind either :D.

Can you send me more info on the location of that '73 Torino GTS? My dad had one of those before he knocked my mom up. I want to get him one for his 50th(coming up in 3 years).

I've asked about that yellow '70 Mustang, it's along Janesville in Big Bend, the nut job wants $7k for that rotted pile. (comes with 2 engines though)

The 67 GTX and flamed 69 Charger were in Superbird dudes back yard. His son said the Charger was from a carnival thrill show many years ago. You could still read the old lettering on the side!

The 69 Charger is sitting in a farm yard N of Kewaskum. I was unable to get in to look or knock on the door due to the farm dogs. Another customer told me it is a 383 4 speed car that is rotted away underneath.

The 70 Challenger was a car I looed at in Racine last year. 383 2 bbl, automatic, SE package. Came out of CA and was spotless. Had been apart for a long time and was missing the instruction sheet....

d0nut
10-28-2005, 08:52 PM
The 67 Charger was my car. Came from CA. 318/automatic. Oddball non console car with a buddy seat in front. Was very clean but life happened and had to sell it.....

The 70 Charger 500 came out of the N side of Milw. Picked it up for $350 and parted it out. Was very nasty underneath. Last registered in 77 and sat in a dirt floor garage til I got it. I made about 4k off of the car on E bay.

Muskego. Used to have a faded "not for sale" sign in the window I think it's been sitting for over 10 years.

I saw a Yenko Camaro in someone's back yard in the Portage area, if I remember right it was black. We were going up to see a 65 442 parts car in the woods when we saw it. The guy with the 442 said the Yenko guy wasn't interested in selling and didn't like being asked. I believe it was like around 8 years ago.

I need to start clearing out cars from my driveway before I have my own "Cars in Barns" :rolf

These are shots of a storage yard in Oak Creek. It is FULL of Trans Am's. The story I was told is that they are all owned by a guy who ran a used car lot in South Milwaukee. He was a big fan of T/A's and liked to keep them.

The cars range from 69 to 77, 6 cars wide and 3 cars deep..... 4 69 T/A's, a bunch of early 70's.... I have a pic of a stack of Potiac engines and tarnnies from there also.

One car that gave me a heart attack was the conv shown here. It looks normal from the front but from the back it is white with blue stripes, hole for a spoiler and a blue interior! I thought I had found the holy grail of lost cars (I couldn;t sleep for a week). There were 8 6 T/A convs made, 4 automatic and 4 4 speeds. 7 are accounted for and the missing one is a 4 speed. This one is a 4 speed.... I was VERY excited until coming back, prying the rusted hood open and finding out it was a 350 2bbl std FB conv that was cloned a long time ago. Life sucks.....

From what I hear this guy has mors cars hidden away including (rumor) the blue 69 T/A with white stripes.....

I have more pics of the stuff that was there, it's coming!

More of my trash....

The 70 Charger R/T was purchased in N Ill. I looked at it behind Grant Park Garage in South Milw (Know the guy who runs it). Word was that it was purchased as a real R/T. VIN showed it was a 383 car cloned. Had a 440 in it that I think came from a motor home. It was not marked HP on the pad. I think the guy paid some tall coin for it.......

The 60 Plymouth and 66 Belvedere were siting in Juneau at the same place as the Ply wagon that I posted. Both were slant 6 cars. The 66 was from Tex and very clean.

The crusty Barracuda was across the road from the trashed 66 Charger in York Center (or Yorkville? Need to look at a map...) Very very very rough car but does have a Formula S hood on it. There are a few other shots from there I need to post...

The 71 Charger is a real Super Bee. I found it in downtown Elkhart Lake. Was a white 383 4 speed car at one point. Has a 440 with a 4 speed (pistol grip!) in it now. Very rough car. The pass 1/4 was patched with an olive oil can. The primer job was laid over the original paint but the stripes were all masked off. I left a note andthe owner called me up. Wanted $6k for the car. I am way too married to buy things like that.......

I have heard of this guy with all the T/A's. Word says that he has a T/A from EVERY year, including a '69 convert. He also has a house on 39th St. just south of Layton with 3 rotted 2nd gens out front and another house on 84th St. between Forest Home and Edgerton with about 8 of 'em parked in the driveway under car covers. If we steal a car a week from his collection, do you think he'd notice?

d0nut
10-30-2005, 06:44 PM
Don't think I didn;t plan a helicopter nab of that T/A conv when I saw it!


Most of the cars in the yard in Oak Creek are so rotted I'd be afraid to move them. The one trunk shot looks like it is open but sadly it's just the outer skin rotting away from the frame.

I'm pretty much a Mopar guy for the most part but it's just disgusting to look at....

Once again proving that the internet makes the world smaller... I was contacted by the 2nd owner of my 68 Camaro. He owned it from 74 to 2004. He ran a 454 with a Turbo400 and was in the high 9's. The interesting part is that he was told by the orignal owner that the car was a SS396 4 speed car when it was new. The original owner turned it into a drag car in 72. So far everything I can find points to it being a 396 car detail wise. Anyone know some identifying things? It has the right firewall for a BB car....

This was sitting at the gas station on 124th & Burliegh a few years ago. The station owner is a big Olds guy and has some of the nicest H/O's I have ever seen. Not sure what happened to this one but I do know they didn't make a whole lot of W-31 Ram Rod cars. All the info I could dig up said they didn't build any Ram Rod Cutlass S cars made but that is what the emblem looks like to me. I also have a issue of Hot Rod from way back when and it shows them testing a Cutlass S Ram Rod car. Maybe the same one? I dunno......

The 60 Vette is owned by a friend of mine. Purchased in the early 70's as an investment (he passed on a Hemi Super Bee for the Vette). It is a 283 4bbl 3 speed manual car. He threw out the orig trans and shifter and put a 4 speed in it right after getting it home. It has been apart and non running since the mid 70's and has reached the point of costing more to put together the right way than it will be worth.....

The 69 Bee was sitting in a yard in Indianapolis when we picked up the 67 Dart. The guy I got the Dart from said the Bee had been there for 3 or 4 years and no one really cared about it. We also saw a 68 Mustang CA Special sitting next to a garage but wasn't able to get a shot of it....

The 70 Mark Donahue Javelin was sitting in a storage lot by a body shop on the south side of Milw. It was by the St Vincent DePaul on Lincoln and Muskego. Very clean car, noengine or trans. Looked like a 4 speed from what I could see through the fence. I went in the body shop office to see what the deal was. The owner was really nice until I said why I was there.. Then he started yelling and dropping F bombs on me. He said he was sick of being bothered about it. I suggested a car cover or garage if it was an issue... Way back when in HS (late 80's) there was an orange 69 Buick GS400 sitting next to a house on Muskego. I watched that one turn to dust. Rusted so bad that the rear window fell into the car...

The Camaro was an early 2nd gen car at a junk yard N of Shawano. Nothing really special but a damn fine example of what WI winters do to cars......

so many sad stories behind the reason all those cars are rotting.

reminds me of exactly how my Impala was found. Sitting in a field. thankfully in texas. always a wierd sign when theres a snake coiled up on the floor when you open the door.

Wish I could still find the pics of how it looked just sitting in the field.

Wow, that yard doesn't really clear out old inventory much eh? :stare

There is a yard I went to near Green Bay that has many older GM's but nothing before the late 70's really. But the yard did have a 1976 Buick Regal *Spirit of 76* (or something like that) model which is kind of rare, has some sticker package, t-tops, etc.

d0nut
11-12-2005, 09:38 AM
I can remeber when the yard in Fredonia was loaded with stuff like that. There was a 69 RoadRunner convt in it when I was in HS. The last time I stopped in there I asked about a paart for my 91 Caravan and the guy laughed. He said there was nothing older than 95 in the yard now.

Anyone know about the yard down by East Troy on 20? Troy auto salvage? I have been past there a few times and called but never get an answer. It looks like there is plenty of 70's stuff still in the front part of the yard. I need to get in there and shoot some pics!

Can't say that I recal seeing a Spirit of 76 Regal, that must have been pretty rare. Too bad WI destroys cars like that with salt...

I just did a little research, the Buick Free Spirit pace car's were Century's not Regals....but apparently only 1,290 made in 1976, 2 were Turbo V-6's...grand daddies of the Turbo Buick motors.

The car in the yard was pretty complete, IRC. I remember seeing one online before so it struck my attention right away. Mostly there, of course that was 2 years ago or so I was in the yard. But looking at all of the older g-bodies and other cars they had that appeared to be there for years, I'd say theres a solid chance its still there.

11-13-2005, 10:30 AM
Yeah the car is very very solid. The past 5 years i've been gathering parts here and there, some new, some from jefferson, etc. The motor is still in it, supposidly a built up 355 but who knows, but it is mated to a borg warner t10 4 speed. It's a project that I plan on building with my dad when I get more money together(not starting it until most of the parts needed are in my possession) and my dad gets his projects done to start helping with bodywork. It still kills me to look at it though just for the fact that it did indeed sit for 5 years, too much potential.

I talk to him a few times a week. I'll bounce it off him. I know it was a factory 3 speed manual car. If I recall he yanked the trans and shifter, tossed them out by the trash and walked away. It was the early 70's and no one really cared...

If you look to the lef of the car you will see a factory cut away Chrysler outboard engine. He is a big outboard nut and does incredible work.....

I haven't ran the vin or anything to find out if it is a true SS or not, but I am for sure doing the RS front end with the hideaway lights and SS 350 badges on the side so I guess it'll be an RS/SS no matter what. It's black vinyl interior(in good shape, hard to believe) and the exterior is going to be black as well. A set of American racing 17" Torque Thrust II's will also be going on it.

I had thought there was a SS454 first gen Monte on there in that area too. All the good stuff has been crushed or burried in town it seems! Back when I was young there were 66-72 Chevelles falling out of garages everywhere with for sale signs on them.

At least you are in town for a warm spell! Could you fit a family of 4 in your luggage for the trip home? The only ice I want to see is in a Rum n Coke....

The 66 was sitting in Grafton over the summer. I wouldn't hesitate to give the number listed a call. It was kind of large money for the side of the road so it might still be there! Let me know if anything comes of a call on the 66. I can always scrounge some storage or something for you around town til you could get it to Ca.

I just got rid of a fairly clean 68 Camaro roller. It was an old drag car but I was just too damn deep into it price wise. I delivered it to St Paul Friday and traded it for a bunch of Mopar parts. Now I have 2 piles that need to be made into a 440 Dart Swinger. I should really have my head examined....

Who ever has that 442 loves the pinstripe. Has about twice as much as it should :goof Body doesn't look too bad for a WI car. Was it for sale or did you just happen upon it?

I know theres a yard in Fountain City, just this side of WI/MN border.
The yard is now run by the guys kids, only open during the week. I havent been there for atleast ten years. One side of the entrance is all old cars, and other side is all new. There was a orange w/ black vinyl top 69 chevelle and a Black Challenger right when you entered the place. The old man also has quite a few of his own cars in a barn on the property. Museum like. You are able to tour it. Thats why I was there with my uncle. Stopped on the way to St. Paul to visit relatives. Also has a another barn full of old car replica pedal cars for kids and all sorts of memorabilia. Always wanted to get back there and walk the place.

The 442 was just sittin there waiting for you to cross the border into Milwaukee and make an offer... Odds are you and everyone else drives past where that thing is sitting every day!


My wifes uncle (idiot) had a daark Silver (gun metal grey) 86 or 442 with 13k on it that he traded in on a Lumina Eurosport. He comes from the shallow end of the gene pool..... His wife had a perfect blue Monte SS with the white and blue stripes that they traded in also. Why would they listen to me when I said they were worth keeping.......

The t/a yard in Oak Creek is not a public yard, only where the guy stores his stuff. He will get a bit questioning if he or his dad find people just wandering around inside. Just a heads up IF you plan on trying to check em out.

I've been to a yard around Adams Friendship, very out of the way off the beaten path. LOTS of old stuff, mostly actually. You can enter and walk around all day. Neat yard, likely the same you've heard of.

I am looking for 69 Chargers...parts cars, whole, whatever. If you run across anything feasibly for sale, please let me know! Thanks.

Pretty much a parts car, very rotted.....

And a Cutlass off Durham I passed to and fro Al's....this car has been there for 10-15 years or more I'm pretty sure. I remember seeing it sit back there as a kid. I also think my gradeschool art teacher lives/lived there, so maybe its pop-art or something ;).

Time for a few Wagons.....

The Buick Sprt Wagon and the Checker are sitting on the east side of 57 in Sheboygan county. The Checker is tempting (nothing gets you laid like a Checker wagon...)

The 59 Caddy Camper was sitting by the Chevy II I posted earlier.

The Pontiac El Camino (El Catalina?) was on Hwy 20 near East Troy. Nothing I want to know the history of....

The Plymouth Wagon was ona lot for sale with a few other odd ball cars in Juneau. Interesting rod material.......

Looks more like a 63-64 caddy to me :shades

d0nut
12-31-2005, 09:40 PM
Sorry, but it's a 59. 63/64 don't have the big windshield and have the one year only bumpers with the large oval lights. Judging from the roofline that was left above the seats it was a hearse or a Fleetwood when it was new.

The only thing I have seen lately for older stuff was a early Celica on National (the ones that look like a Mustang)

I'll keep my eyes open for you on that. I'd like to run across any old Rotary pick ups from Mazda or maybe an early 2 stroke Suzuki Samuri truck. There was a guy in Bay View that had a stroker Suzuki back in the 80's....

Damn, now you have me wondering if the guy in Bay View that collected Honda S600's is still around.......

found this 1969 1/2 super bee on the side of a guys barn near my cabin in door county over the 4th of july weekend, it is a real six pack car, good shape, needs interior, paint, and was a very solid car, minimal rust (surface),small dent on the rear quarter. 833 4-speed, dana 60....etc. the only option was the radio. had like 25,000 and change in the odometer.had documentation to verify everything he was saying too.he pulled it out of his barn to move snowmobiles into a huge trailer, thats when i saw it. i took these pictures, thenwent back when the guy came home. cool guy, we talked for a long time about his cars, just wont sell, said he had it since he was 17 (1971), and will restore it, but somehow i doubt it. delivered to GRAND SPAULDING DODGE TOO!, the guy should sell it to me. it was for real, a shame that this car will probably sit and begin to rot. he had some 30's fords too.i will be up there soon, i wil ask if he knows where any more cool stuff is at.

the first is a 1969 Charger..the car only Has 30,xxx miles on it..He started to tear it apart to rebuild it..3 years later it still sits untouched Trim ripped off Glass (Broken) on floor..Original maching numbers engine torn apart.the Body he started to sand..with a Grinder and he left it on there to long and the body is ****ed now...was 100% straight Perfect. it makes me Sick.

the other car is a 1970 Hemi Cuda..yes thats right i said Hemi Cuda..Paint is all sanded off...floor is all cut up..the Glass yet again is broken..hood is all dented to hell...the car is just a HACK.... the sad thing is his dad gave him these cars and he Messed them up.

That doesn't look like a 70, it looks like a 67-69 A body Barracuda with fender well headers. Plus look at the rear window it has the crank down rear window, orginal factory light weight barracudas came with corning (spelling) glass and that didn't roll down in the rear, they used a seat belt with a button snap to roll up and down the driver and passenger side windows. So likely this is not a real hemi car. Don't ask me how I know, I eat, sleep and breath Mopars.

If you really want to have a good day of junkin' Take a road trip to C.L. Chase in Camp Douglas, WI. Place is a friggin' gold mine!

The owner is 5th generation and they don't crush! 60+ acres of cars from the 30's to late model. He also has two other yards... One in Mauston and the other in Tomah.

I have been to the Camp Douglas yard a few times and still haven't been through the whole thing. I ran across a few parts that I wanted but couldn't remember where the hell the cars were when I went for my tools...

I can forward more info if you need it... By the way... Sneaking into Troy Auto...very bad idea! Just go on a Saturday.

I went to my uncles funeral this summer in camp douglas, In fact the cemetary he's at is 1/4 mile up the road from that salvage yard I remember it from when I was a little kid, That place is amazing, I wanted to go but we hadthe kids (4 and 2), my wife wasn't havin that Idea:alcoholic !!

Anybody know about the abanded<spelling<:chair: yard up by Wausau?? The guy that owned it was named Carl Zunker, story goes that he went nuts and just left it in 1970 or so. Everything is still there 500+cars a barn that is full of neat stuff and a house that is full of stuff, including poop from where critters were living. The guy seemed to collect everything, He had a box full of cool old lighters(that I had) a room full of old lunch boxes that we all had as kids!

The barn is full of boxes of books, car parts,2 hemi motors apart, a white vw beetle oval back window late 50's nice condition. Outside there is enough classic steel sinking into the ground to make you sick to your stomach. a 60 409 Impalla 4 speed, 62,63,64 Impalla convertables some ss's A lot of pre WW2 steel Model a's t's coupes cabe's trucks up the arse. I also remember a 55 chevy that was set up for drag racing 50's-60's style with the straight axel front end and the rear wheel wells cut out to fit in larger tires. Multiple 50-57 chevys 2doors 4 doors convertibles, just stuff every where.

Funny thing is that some people are taking parts and whole cars out of there, you can tell by the fresh tracks and the big rectangle patches in the ground. there is a 63' impalla SS out there that was flipped over and the rearend cut out with a tourch, fresh cuts when I saw them about 8 or 9 years ago. This place located outside of Wausau on your way to Hamburg on hwy A, It's been a while since ive been up there, but those are the basic directons. From the road you can't really tell it's a bone yard, It looks like an abandon farm, but when you get out back.....................:wow

oh yeah, Flickkity I know where just about every datsun z, 510.710 z31 if it is in a bone yard. In fact there is a 69-70or so datsun 2000 roadster at the yard in east troy. I'm pretty much a Datsun nut so if you need anything let me know, in fact i went to jacks this summer and looked at the Orange 240z in the back and it had a crack free dash in it!! I got it for 40.00 bucks, and I still have it in my basement!!
