Get this: I just got a phone call from a guy who says his old man is suffering from cancer and needs some cash. Say's his dad has a car in the barn that was restored but hasn't been driven in years. All he knows is that the car is from 1967, it's a big-block and he wants $4,000.
What kind of car is it? What condition is it in? I don't even know but I'll post pics once I see this thing. Any guesses on what it is?

Also where is this man/barn?

It could just be an Impala sedan or something and $4,000 would be fair but yeah, I wouldn't rob a man with cancer. I'm not that car hungry.

He doesn't know the make/model, but he knows the year and that it's a big block?
That's weird.
I'm in - let us know what it ends up being.

Orig Camaro or a GTO or a Mustang or a Bette with a 427

Rural area 2 hours north of Toronto apparently. Not even a city.

So this guy just random cold called you like "Bro. Listen. I got this car, alright. Listen. I got this car, and, my dad, he's got cancer, so I need money and listen. I got this car, I don't know what it is, but I got this car. So Listen. It's a 1967, but I don't know what it is, but it's a car, and it's got a big block. I sell it to you... for four thousand dollahs."
or did you solicit this act?

He also knows that it's blue. Yeah it sounds strange but sometimes strange can be true. I'll keep you guys posted.

Not that sketchy haha he likes my Chrysler so we've talked a few times. I told him if he knows anyone selling an old car to let me know. We swapped business cards. He heard his dad was selling so he gave me a call. He's not really a car guy.

Just don't go alone...it sounds a tiny bit fishy. (DTA)

It could be epic or it could be a 67 Lincoln with a 462. Remember in '67 pretty much every large or midsized card could be had with a big block some are good some are bad.

This gives me many excites!!!!

Exactly. It's probably going to be a large sedan of some sort.

What years did they make the GT40?
![]() 07/31/2014 at 18:38 |

Yep with a not so good big block. Or just a V-8 a lot of non car people think a old V-8 is automatically a big block.

Yeah it's right here in the barn.

I'd say a Buick Riviera. Just think of who owned it and what they might like.

Or maybe he just likes you? #mancrush
