Ok, I'm going over the years here, and most of these cars aren't there anymore, but some are still there. These are the treasures I've seen in garages here, and asked if the owner wanted to sell them...
1960 Plymouth Belvedere (I used to be a mopar guy, but have never owned one) He wanted to sell - cheap, but I found another car before we closed (it was in very rough shape - but pretty).
1963 Corvette coupe (yes a split window) Not for sale, and still rotting away.
1972 454 Corvette - not for sale - still rotting.
1957 Chrysler Newyorker 2-door. Was too afraid to get out of the car and ask because of the dogs. Probably had a Hemi.
1970 Dodge Superbee. Guy said it belonged to his brother (and it had been there for years), and he'd have to ask him if he wanted to sell it. Never heard from him, and the car disapeared a couple months later - he probably sold it cheap (damnit!)
1970 Plymouth GTX 440-6 - This one was to be my first car, but my mom said no. (damnit again!) I'da kept it too. Was pretty grabber orange, and they only wanted $800. It ran great, and only a little rust in the trunk.
Imagine how much that's worth now!
Early 60's Mercury Comet - not for sale, but well taken care of - looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Enjoyed a long conversation about it with the owner.
1965 Mustang Coupe - This one hurt so much - My dad bought it for $600, put about $2000 (over about 1 year) into it and it looked like new. I begged him to sell it to me as my first car - I was 16 at the time it was done(Original 289 HiPo with 4 speed - completely rebuilt, and original A/C that worked! Fresh paint and interior too) Again, my mother stepped in and denied it to me because it was too powerful/sporty. He sold it for $3500 to the first person with cash. Ouch!
Early 70's Plymouth Duster 340 - was in a junk yard, but had a nearly perfect body, Didn't ask because I wasn't sure what was wrong with it.
One local (but hard to find) junk yard had about 12-15 1968-69 Dodge chargers in it up until recently (he had them all crushed - Waaaaaaa!) One of them was a Charger 500 with the smooth rear window.
My dad has told me where to find at least 5 Plymouth Superbirds rotting in a field up in west virginia near where we used to live. Not sure if they were Nascar, or road versions though. One day I'm going to see if they are still there.
In the Now (I haven't asked about these)...
I know where a 1952-54 Crown Imperial sits (with rear-deck A/C and interior roof vents, and power everything)
A TR-6 that hasn't moved in 6 months (but looks very nice)
A TR-4 that looks to be sitting for quite some time
A Citron CB MGB that is nicely covered in a garage and looks to be nearly show quality.
I saw one car I haven't identified yet, But could've been a Elva Courier, or something similarly shaped. (convertible, curvy, but with a high squared back and a low wedged front). I saw it only once in front of a building that has been empty for years, and when I went by a couple weeks later (to look at it, and maybe leave a note) it was gone. What I remember of it reminded me of a Lotus Europa, except it was convertible. The Elva is the only thing that come close when I look at all the cars I know of. I wish I would've stopped to ask about it (or left a note) when I first saw it. I bet it could've been had for $500 or so.
