I decided to start an archive of all the 70's Camaros and Firebirds in my local area. I had easy access to several today, so I'll start the ball rolling.
This first one is very nice. A guy was supposed to be fixing this car, but it's been sitting at the hobby shop for over a year in its present condition, lots of aftermarket parts in the seats.
-
Here's a pic of all the stuff inside. I really wish I had this guy's POC info so I could get him to post on here.
-
Next one is a car for sale. I couldn't get close because it is locked inside a U-store-It.
-
Here's the front.
-
This white with red trim Firebird is for sale on the local Craig's List. It's a little steep for my price range, but the car runs and drives.
-
Then, on my way home I saw two more sitting at a very small local garage next to the highway. I talked to the mechanic. He said that a local customer bought these two cars several years ago with the idea of fixing the gray one and using the black one for parts. Looks like he lost interest to me.
-
Here's the parts car.
-
Looks like he spent some money under the hood, but maybe on all the wrong things.
-
And here's the last one for the day, a very nice project early 70's Camaro. It is at the hobby shop as well.
-
Your lucky to see so many around you. Mine's one of three in this area
-
There's at least a dozen more in my area. Those were just on the way to the beach. Military towns tend to collect them.
-
Where are you located Jaysen ??

Check out this guy...

He has (6) 1978 Camaro / z28's he's parting out. I'm going to stop by there tomorrow and see if he has any armrests.
-
God I wish someone would save this 78 firebord and Trans am. I'm sitting at the gas station across the street and seeing them rusting away just kills me. I'd buy them both if I had a bigger garage. Corner of highway 172 and highway 24, Hubert, NC.

Wow i wish i could still see them like that..Late 90's all around Chicago land they sat in people's driveways looking like that.

My oldest brother drives a truck for Food Lion. He's seen the place and stopped by to get contact info. The info he got on the white Firebird is that it is originally out of Chicago. Military guy owns it and his wife said it had been stored most of the time but he just doesn't have the time to restore it so they are trying to sell it. To high IMO at $4200. My brother has spoke to the owner of the black 78 Trans Am. He was suppose to meet the owner last weekend but my brother has just been too busy the last couple of weeks. According to the owner someone has stoen the AC components and valve covers off of it since it has been setting in the storage lot. Doesn't know if water got in the motor. 400 4spd car. My brother hopes to get over there next weekend to meet up with the owner. Here is the link to the 78 Firebird:

Here's a google satellite image of the car lot with the 6 camaros that's near my work. I'm going by there today and will snap a few close ups.
-
Here was the scene as I drove up. No one in sight, just about 4 cats.
-
Why is it people always use F-bodies as storage facilities? I mean, they don't exactly do a good job of keeping the weather out.
-
This Z28 was the best in the lot.
-
T-tops, OMG! I had hopes that this would be a Trans Am. Just another Z28, though.
-
How'd this weird looking boat get into here?
-
Another one.
-
And I ended up with this nice pile of goodies... all for $20. Two arm rest / door pulls from the corvette, an original 1970 motorolla radio for my VW, a seatbelt retainer clip for the passenger seat, a front seat mount cover, and two Trans Am center caps (yeah two in very good shape) from an '86 TA. The guy asked me if I thought 20 was fair, I said really it wasn't fair, to him that is. Those armrests go for a lot more on ebay. He was okay with 20, though.

wow. do the junkyards look like that too? If so coming upon parts in your area shouldnt be too hard
