I failed in the pick up of the 427 all tires flat only one holding air. This guy (decent fellow) is a bit of a hoarder to say the least. i am there with my slider to pick her up. No way of getting close to car in any fashion to winch on the deck. Which even if I could get close would have done a lot of damage to car trying to rescue. Will try on Saturday, taking two of my trucks, 4 wheels and tires (red walls). One truck with a skid steer on deck, to move a couple tons of garbage out of the way to get at the poncho. So much stuff all over the place, some really rare items, real shame. I never saw so many 4 speed pontiac's in my whole life at one spot. Took a video of cars etc. when owner side tracked. There is no electricity to property etc. was sort of like out of a horror movie, felt a little uncomfortable being out there cash in pocket. Keep you posted as it unfolds.

Now i have a pretty good idea where ..... Been there too ( a couple of times ). Watch out for the dogs. I have never seen so many 4 spd cars sitting in one place too . The ground should be frozen now , and should make it easier .
Looking forward to photos of this rare beast. Pics of some of the 4-speed cars would be cool too.
Y'know, I often read on several car boards about hoarders in a negative connotation, but I can't help but think that a lot of these cars would have ended up in the crusher had they not been hoarded. Food for thought.

haha.. thanks .. you just made my day.. I think there is some truth to your statement..
I may not have 'hoarded my 64 custom sport.. but had I not had dry storage at my parents , it never would have lasted.. or I would have sold it.. I didn't drive that car for years , while I was away at school then starting my life..so to speak.
I've hoarded away a 63 Acadian hardtop, 67 Firebird, 67 GTO , 68 Beaumont SD, owned from 20 + years to 12 and , had I just put them on the road then,, they would be gone now. The Acadian is a early 80's time piece, as it was built for street racing !

What is the history of that Acadian street racer? Did it come from Manitoba?
