    Almost all those pics are at least a few years old, most are either restored, or gone. Doubt any of those are still around rotting away.

    Kidding, man I'd like to get ahold of the one with the shaker hood though and it's probably long gone.

    Cool and interesting about that bel air but don't see a point in "the entire original chassis could be used again" but the body couldn't.
    ha cheby guys. Would have used it as garage art or something.

    I love that the Barrelcuda was actually in the video. That one was restored a few years back and it was actually a V-code car.

    I was actually surprised not to see my current project in that video LOL..
    It has been rotting since (according to the inspection sticker) 1976. Tucked away right next to the back porch all this time.
    The ONLY attempt to at least preserve it was done by me when I was 15 years old. I jacked it up out of the mud, rode my bicycle to the part store and bought 4 rattle cans of the best primer they had and proceeded to "protect the side of the car that is never covered, so it wont rust" the owners thought I was crazy.. "why the hell would that kid give a damn about a car that aint his?"
    Well.. The car made its way to my shop a few months ago, where I am doing my ever loving best to resurrect it... but the owner is on an extremely tight budget.

    Turns out the panels I squirted cheap ass primer all over (26 years ago) are the ONLY panels not rusted through!!!

    thanks man!

    here is a little walk around I did of the car when it got here back in April (been pretty much waiting on the owner to come up with cash since!) If it werent for the history I had with the car I would have kicked out to make room for real paying work LOL

    The Sassy Grass Green 71 up in the air looks familiar, I think it's Allan's 6 pak car, and as usual, he restored it to perfection

    :D The ’71 Barracuda I dragged home from Kansas City Missouri looked worse than most of the cars in the video
     :clueless: I’m surprised how many ’71 gilled Cudas are just rotting away.
     :grinyes: The background with the ever green trees looks like Ben Snobar’s backyard.

    I was going to say that at least 4 of the cars pictured were owned by Alan G at one point or another....

    The curious yellow '71 hardtop in the wrecking yard near the end of the film is still there AFAIK.  It is a 383 2bbl Gran Coupe that I picked a few pieces off years ago...

    It is not in Ontario.
