A Barn Find like no other.....

I skipped through it so might have missed some facts, but what I got was Heartbeat City got the parts which they often hunt down, and most of the cars were sold individually.
 
Yeah, anyone needing hard to find NOS parts should contact Heartbeat City. What a ton of parts !
Too bad he didn't like the best Chevelles (66-67) :)

Well, buyer beware! I don't trust that place. They price NOS stuff very high, to start with. Then, when I found a correct part number 12volt coil for my L78 engine build, I got something that looked nothing like the pic on the website. It had the correct part number but it was a poor quality repro. I just hope it works! I really wasn't expecting a NOS coil, but I did expect the same part that was pictured in their online catalog! They obviously put an original GM coil in the photo, then sold me the Chinese version repro! Plus, it went on sale a matter of days after I bought mine and they wouldn't even talk to me to give me the sale prce. The guy said they got my email message, but "the owner wasn't in and only he could make the decision to give me a cost-break". I never heard a damn thing! So, a place that operates like that tells me "don't bother"!
 
Wow. Can't begin to imagine how much he paid for the collection, but to me it would be like Christmas morning and all the little (and big) treasures you'd find.

I read some of the comments and the guy posting the video says "well into 7 figures".
 
Old man's car.

Yup, that's me! I can still remember and "feel" how absolutely awesome my brand new '67 SS L78 felt and drove that first night in the late summer of 1967 tooling through town and all the burger joints in town...going through at least two tanks of gas that night! I LOVED my '67 and that will never change....I was serving in the Army when the "larger" Chevelle styles came out, so I can't critique them. But, overall, older is generally better! '66 & '67 was the BEST! (just my opinion). Lots of '70-'72 Chevelles were automatics. You'd be hard pressed to find a '66 & '67 automatic, although I do see a few occasionally....not cool! No automatic trans in an L78 or A/C....just "go-fast" stuff! (y)

72's with a column automatic and bench seats were great when I was a teenager on dates. Man if my Bronze Chevelle could talk.
 
PULEASE...

GM went up to its peak making the 69. Then the shit went to hell with 70 on.
 
If I could, I would own EVERY year.:p
Even a 73.
By the way...these cars in the video are unbelievable!!
