They are still out there. this vet was found in a barn in 2004 by a developer who called a friend of mine who then purchased the car from the widow that owned the farm that she was selling for a housing project. my friend owned the car from 11/15/04 to 04/26/12 at which time I purchased the car. he was always going to restore the car but never did anything with it. it just set in his barn until I talked him out of it. I called the widow to talk about the car and she believed they were the second owner and she gave me the name and address of who she purchased the car from. I then called that person and found out they were the original purchaser of the vet and we had a great chat and they had sold the car to the second owner in 08/16/89. so I believe I am the 4th owner of this car and I do have copy's of 3 of the tittle transfers. the original owner called me about 6 weeks after that first conversation to tell me they had the protecta plate and wanted me to have it. I sent the car out for a complete off frame, ground up restoration, absolute no shortcuts were taken and received the car back on 09/17/12 at which time I had the car appraised. this is a genuine numbers match, date code match car. even the starter, alternator and carb are the ones the car came with, rebuilt of coarse. I did put radial tires on it so one could enjoy the ride and yes did upgrade the clock to quartz. I have put 148.1 miles on the car since the restore just to make sure all is well. decision time. if you are looking for a trailer queen just to bring to the shows this is it, if you are looking for a car to just drive to a few car shows this is it or if you are looking for a dependable driver this is it after all it would be your money. I could not drive the car and lower the value and I am not a car show guy so I could not make the decision. this car needs to go some where a lot of people can enjoy it. please ask all questions before bidding or come and inspect the car. all sales are final. cash, wire transfer or certified funds. certified fund must clear before pickup. you can email me your phone number and I will be happy to answer all questions or set up a time to view or if the question is does something work the answer is yes. yes they are out there. a original 1969, 427, 4 speed, convertible side pipe car in the original color, Daytona yellow with the protecta plate. don't pass this up.

On Jul-07-13 at 05:47:41 PDT, seller added the following information:
to answer a lot more questions at once. the car does have tilt and telescopic steering column and yes it was completely rebuilt also. all of the chrome pieces have been rechromed. the radiator, heater core and blower motor have been replaced. the suspension has been completely rebuilt all new bushings, ball joints, etc. the gear ratio is 3.70 the astro vent system has been rebuilt and I know I am missing a lot but you should get the idea no shortcuts were taken on this car. last but not least the paint job is second to none, it is drop dead beautiful. plus the sound of that big block 427 from the factory side pipes that sound has not been rebuilt, just bone chilling

Michael Jordan's cars showcased in 'The Last Dance' documentary
Sun, May 10 2020After the masses begged and pleaded for an early release, ESPN finally unlocked the doors to the biggest production in company history last month. Episodes 1 and 2 of The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary special about Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls, and the 1997-1998 season, was released at last on April 19, 2020. Each week since, two new episodes have aired on Sunday nights, and the next two, episodes 7 and 8 are scheduled to drop this weekend on May 10. With unprecedented video access to MJ, who became averse to the media during his playing days, a byproduct from The Last Dance is a look at some of Jordan's cars. The Goat's taste ranges across a number of brands, but they all had one thing in common: performance as a top priority. Below, we have listed the rides that have already appeared in the series, and each week, we will update with new car cameos. Chevrolet Corvette C4 The photo above somewhat epitomizes one of the themes of The Last Dance. Everybody, whether that was men, women, children, franchise owners, reporters, coaches, teammates, or opponents, wanted a piece of Jordan. If that meant stopping in the middle of the road to get an autograph, then so be it. Around town, MJ was fairly easy to spot due to his flashy cars that occasionally wore Bulls red. Jordan has driven numerous Corvettes throughout the years, but the C4 is unique in that it was Chevy's top ride when Jordan signed an endorsement deal with the American company during his rookie year in 1984. Two famous photos, one in front of the Chicago skyline, show him standing next to a C4 with the license plate "Jump 23." This exact car, however, came later, as indicated by the squared-off taillights. He went on to star in a number of Chevrolet commercials with vehicles such as the Blazer and S-10 pickup truck. Chevrolet Corvette C5 The most notable Corvette His Airness ever owned was likely the C4 40th Anniversary ZR-1, but he also drove a C5 coupe at one point. Roughly nine minutes into the first episode, Jordan is seen driving the chrome-wheeled targa top into the parking lot at the Berto Center, the Bulls old practice facility. Ferrari 550 Maranello Roughly three minutes into episode four, viewers get a glimpse of Jordan's exotic taste in the form of a red Ferrari 550 Maranello.
The Fate of the Furious music video shows how much Demons love donuts
Fri, Mar 3 2017The new Dodge Demon is leaking into everything related to The Fate of the Furious in the lead-up to both the car and the film's debut in just over a month. The latest teaser involves Demons doing donuts and burnouts in the Get Off music video, with copious amounts of both tire smoke and hip hop to accompany the tire-shredding shenanigans. It also gives us a look at some of the film's other cars. Get Off is a song by Travis Scott, Quavo, and Lil Uzi that's featured on The Fate of the Furious soundtrack, which is out now. The teaser for the music video features a pack of Dodge Challengers - both Demon and non-Demon spec - along with a line of non-SRT related products. From what we can see, the movie will have a Scion FR-S/Toyota 86, a highly modified C2 generation Chevrolet Corvette, and a Mercedes-AMG GT S. In typical over-the-top fashion, the final shot shows a submarine bursting through ice in pursuit of several cars, including a Subaru WRX. We can't see much else as the full music video hasn't been released, but expect a few more teasers once it does. The Fate of the Furious debuts Friday, April 14, just days after the Dodge Demon's debut at the New York Auto Show.

Just the right Camaro can change your life
Thu, Jan 22 2015Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.
