Default Re: Cars on the Supercar Registry

Was that a crack about Wheeling or is there a possibility of a car in a junkyard there? I live near Wheeling. I earlier posted about the $3500 Yenko Camaro sold out of Bellaire (which is now in Chicago I believe) and the shots of the yellow 427 COPO Camaro stored in the garage also in Bellaire which is right across the river from Wheeling.

There is an old junkyard in the area that has what is left of a '69 Camaro that the junkyard owner said originally came with a 427. There is no drivetrain at all nor subframe and the body is totally gone as in rusted out. The car was originally wrecked I believe and has been in the yard for 20-25 years. The yard built lots of high peformance engines over the years and did lots of auto salvage from mid '60's until about'85. Yard is closed as the owner is semi retired. Yard was originally a chicken farm and is way off the beaten path on an old dirt road. I went to see the owner about 5 years ago inquring about brand X parts. We were talking about the "old days" and old stuff and he brought up the info about the Camaro and actually pointed out the car to me
and said "There is a rare one sitting right out there"

Give me more info as I'm going to check into this further.
