This stuff amazes me every time I see it. People buy a new car, and stuff it away in a time capsule for a few decades without every enjoying it. Then, the future happens, they blow the dust off the car, and tada! it’s 1985 again Michael. Who has the money to do this you ask? I have no idea, but it’s fascinating to me, so I recommend that wealthy people continue to do so.
As for this specific car, it is basically old news, but I apparently missed it. I guess about 2 years ago this car was “found” in a trailer. In the video it appears to be sitting behind a 68-70 Chrysler B-Body (at 1:37-1:55 ish), which is actually what I personally would rather have, but alas, nobody seems to care about that car. Anywaaaay…. The 2 or 3 guys break out the video camera, and record the entire removal of this car from the trailer and onto the ramp truck. From there, it lands on eBay and grabs something like $20K. While this is technically a profit based on the original purchase price of $16K, I’m not convinced that it was a great “investment” per se. There are a whole bunch of pictures of this car from 2 years ago on AutoBlog, but who needs pictures when you have video amirite? We are in 2011 after all, and we are totally Y2K compliant. So without further adieu, I give you, the “barn find” 4.3 mile 1985 Camaro Z28 video.
Can’t see the video? Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCK7N2SgJjE
“Oh yeah, Happy Birthday son!” …could this be a National Lampoon skit?
this shows you that barn finds are still out there
Did the original owner just buy it for the wheels?
I imagine so. The ones on it are so boring, they put the car to sleep for 24 years!
It looks like there was another vehicle in front of the camaro(blue) . What’s the story with that?
