For as long as I have been a car guy (long time) I have slowed done or turned around while travelling at the sight of some tail lights or grill of a muscle car peeking out from a shed thinking I spotted something. Stopping resulted in meeting some nice car people and occasionally someone with a shotgun. Most times resulted in not for sale and I don,t really recall ever leaving with anything worth remembering but I still do it.

One would think that when you find a batch of a certain item, the prices go down - rare coins for example where inventories , once in short supply, suddenly become more common. In the case of the discovery of quite a number of DZ blocks, one would think the same?  Would be curious into knowing what HBC would be asking for one.

I've heard that some of the cars may not be what they appear to be, buyer beware and be informed. :)

 Is one of the cars the 69 Z-28 with no trim tag, that they claim is a X77 ?

I was there and looked at every car in detail.
Every one of them are exactly what they appear to be.
The owner only bought quality cars over a 25 year period.
Yes, there were a a few 6 cylinder or standard cars, but 98% were the real deal.
Beware of opinions from anyone who wasn’t there

Yes, that particular car had all the signs of being an X77
No trim
Power Disk brakes
Correct part numbers on the motor mounts
12 bolt rear
4 leafs
Muncie Hole
Distribution block and last but not least, X7 grease pencil mark

I had someone threaten me with a Glock when I saw a Yenko Nova parked in someone's driveway.  I stopped to take a gander - that's when I thought "oh Sh.t". It was gone a week later..........

 Hey Peter most of the 302 motors were minus the cranks and rods, did you see them in the barns ? Vince

I noticed in your videos on youtube you were restoring a LB 69 Z.  Tell us about that car?  Original drivetrain?  Post up some photos!
