My dad was restoring a Mach One Mustang but never finished it before he died. The engine was restored and the body was stripped. My mom had to find people to buy everything. Sell your stuff before your family has to.
when I was 17 I bought a 67 RS Camero and at 18 bought a 68 RS SS. My ultimate desire was the 67 RS SS because the 67 had the smokers window which gave the main window more stability and acted like an air-conditioner
I remember in the 80s passing this guy's house where a 1957 Chevy convertible was sinking into the earth. My buddy worked in a body shop and knew the guy, who refused to sell it to me or anyone. "I'll get to it someday" he'd say, but odds are that the car deteriorated to the point of no return. That's why I have so much respect for the guys who let go of these cars they never got to finish, because it takes courage to do so.
It's sad that he messed so many things on it. That car would be worth alot of money. Let your daughter have it. Fix the damn thing up and give it to your daughter for heaven sake. You were very foolish to sell the original engine. In my opinion, you did not take care of this car.
Some ppl feel they have to hold onto things like this. Storing things like this cost more money that it's worth sometimes…then add your time, energy, and all the what ifs. Not worth it! .but I get it, ppl like to hold onto things, memories.. $ 150 a month for storage for 53 yrs is about $93,000. That's roughly the money he could have had renting the unit out.
Leave it to your daughter ….. I have three grown boys and a 7 1/2 year old daughter and I foresee her getting it all. She’s the only one who shows any real interest.
Guys like this drive me crazy. Either fix it and drive it or sell it so someone else can enjoy it. This guy will die with it rotting in his storage facility. His daughter will sell it and move on.
I’ve been in the business of renting space to people, it’s amazing how many thousands of dollars people will spend (overtime) to store something worth hundreds of dollars. Even in this guys situation, if he’d have rented the unit out and invested that income instead, it easily you have had a couple hundred thousand bucks for what he paid to store the car. Would any of us pay $200,000 just so we could be known as “the Camaro guy”? Ego is expensive.
"MQ" comes back as a 1967-1968 Camaro 396 CID/375 HP with manual transmission or a 1967 Chevy II with a 396 CID/375 HP with a manual transmission. I think I see "7N" as the part of the VIN sequence. This would mean it came out of a 1967 (7) vehicle assembled at Norwood, OH (N) which both the Chevy II and Camaro would have been made there in 1967. The "T" in the engine number means Tonawanda (NY) engine assembly, which still operates today.
When you get the tag, you can brag: 05E for the fifth week of May 1967 production, 67 for 1967 model year, 12437 for Camaro Sport Coupe with standard interior, NOR for Norwood, OH assembly (which closed in August 1987), 760-Z for standard black bucket seats, R-R for Bolero Red upper and lower exterior paint, Group 2 accessory code: L for four speed manual transmission, G for console, S for rear antenna, 3 for RPO code Z22 Rally Sport Equipment, Group 4 accessory code of N for 396 CID/325 HP engine.
With the VIN, you'll win: 1 for Chevrolet, 2 is the same for all 1967 Camaros, 4 for V8 equipped, 3 for coupe, 7 is the same for all 1967 Camaros, 7 for 1967 model year, N for Norwood, OH assembly and the rest is the production sequence.
Since the daughter has nothing invested in all that junk she will sell it all next to nothing to get rid of it all. she really wants no part of loving up on junk she rather have the money she seems humble and nice but why would she waste her life hoarding up her dads junk? this type of obsession is not normal, if you won't fix it and enjoy it sell it let someone else enjoy it. I'm 66 and it took me seven years to sell everything I had, vintage audio equipment, musical instruments, cars, motor cycles, paintings, very special 100k+ vinyl record collection, huge toy collection, (star wars) Lionel vintage trainsets, lots and lots of hoard stuff over 50 years of hoard. my kids and I talked they said honest dad we know very little to nothing about all your stuff it's best you sell it all and just leave us money other wise we'll just have a huge garage sale we'll do some research and get what we can for the hi-end stuff but we don't have time or money to spend trying to get top dollar for everything we'll just take what's reasonable and get rid of it all and move on ~ please dad just sell it all and move on travel enjoy life while you can ~ these are they're words, after giving it a good thought I decided to sell it all. today I live a simple life with just the basic needs and one nice car. I love every minute of it I go to antique shows and auto shows and browse and I don't have to burden my self with stuff so when I die my kids won't have to worry about junk just toss my dead ass in a box and goodbye 🙂 lol…..
So cool!! I've had my low mileage 93 twin turbo stealth stored away since 07.. seeing this makes me realize I'm not alone.. lol!!
Btw keep that thing in the family!
She's cute…married?
At 2:40 there’s a sign saying masks not allowed. Sad to see they are covid deniers
"I want you to meet Jim"
Stops on Jim for a couple seconds.
Hi Jim! I like the sign behind you.
Yet another car hoarder…dude…let someone else fix that beauty up and get it back on the road!!

as cool as the cars are..the sweetest thing is the daughter in her cute little hat …
I’ll take it!
Let’s talk
Hire a guy to fix the car and enjoy it the last year!
Masks not allowed! Please remove your mask. Anti-masker, thy name is DAD.
He doesn’t look like a ball of fire. It’s pitiful when people let their cars go to hell!

I just want a van
Beautiful daughter.
Did he sell it?
When I left Alabama for Texas I sold my 4 door 56 chevy for $125 and my 66 Mustang 289 3 speed with Pony Interior for $150
Love this channel.

Don’t sell it, just let it rot away until it’s not worth anything.🧐
She's a good looking 49! To all those complaining about hoarders, relax. It's well preserved.

Such a waste ! Something with wheels that doesn't roll !
Man that looked so sweet in the old
Photos when it was clean
Make time!
That car will still be sitting there when he dies

Come on man! Give her the car. Make memories, not a profit.

Personally I would sell the other "collectable" junk! Restore both cars and let his daughter drive the Camaro and enjoy life.
I don't know much about old school American cars, so what would this car go for as it sits?
Dude can barely walk. 😬
I'll bet the wheel bearings are still good…
Anyone got the daughter’s number? Asking for a friend 😂
What a hoarder. LMAO. 😂
Sell some stuff then you could retire. Retirement is awesome, because then you can buy and sell stuff all the time.
