Second owner (since 1972) unrestored, all original (except for wrong carb) 1969 Z-28. Flat hood, blue w/white stripes, approx 70k miles. I have been trying to buy this since 1978. 1969 FG Yenko Chevelle ( same owner since at least 1985), now under restoration. Both in Western PA/Pittsburgh area.

Two years ago, I heard about an old Camaro drag car in a backyard. I found the car and it happened to be a real 1968 Z/28. It had Mighty Mouse lettered on the side and I could have bought it for $500.00. The car was very rough but did have the title. I didn't think the car was savable but I watched it sell on E-bay later for $3200. I think someone even posted photos of it on this site.

Rumor has it,the Indiana Amish hold title to the Draggin Deuce.

I love these hidden car stories!
I know of a 1972 Z28 sitting since late 70s in a neighboring town... Dark Green on Black, black stripes 4-spd, Possibly for sale. My neighbor has a Delorean (sp?) sitting at least for the last 17-20 years.

I have been after this car since 1997. 1970 Nova L78, M21 4 speed, Forest Green, rubber floor mat, 20,200 miles. The car has been with it's second owner since 1971. Original motor is out of it in the garage while he had a 427 under the hood racing it. Orig paint etc. Car has been sitting out for a few years now so it needs restored. The owner has all the paperwork and orig window sticker and many vintage pics of it while he was at the strip in the early 70's. The original selling dealer was Celozzi-Ettleson Chevrolet in Elmhurst, ILL. Oh and it IS NOT FOR SALE, he is gonna fix her up some day! Yeah right!

How about a FG Yenko Camaro buried up to the posts in a farmer's field with no VIN or trim tag on it because they are on another FG car? Oops, wasn't supposed to bring that one up!

There is a DY Y Chevelle hidden somewhere within a 40 mile radius of me, my brother and I are trying to find the magic farmer who owns it.

I know these sound pretty sarcastic, but I am serious.

No, this one never sat outside. However, there is a green 1970 SS Chevelle sitting about 50 feet off the road with a tree or two growing in or around it on "Conway-Wallrose Road" in western PA. I first saw it in 1978, and at that time it was NICE . I saw it again last summer...it is not so nice now. And yes, everyone I know that has seen it over the last 27 years has tried to buy it although it may not be worth much now.
