Unrestored cars that is.

I’m doing a book on unrestored cars–vehicles that remain today pretty much as the manufacturer put ‘em together years or decades ago.

If you own one or can point me toward one with some collector significance, I’d like to hear from you. Doesn’t need to be in Minnesota or the US and it doesn’t need to be worth seven figures. Can be near perfect; doesn’t have to be. Wood-spoke brass era to last year’s Nascar winner all good.

An unrestored Corvair or Beetle or six-cylinder Camaro or even a Pinto or Gremlin that still looks decent and hasn’t been messed with would help fill out the range. Yep, even Gremlins are collectible today.

Of course if know of a tucked away Shelby Daytona or Arnolt Bristol, my ears are still open. You can post something right here or send me an email at weekendgarage@comcast.net.

Just to get ideas flowing, here’s a sweet unrestored Texas T-Bird that now travels England’s ancient hedgerow-lined roads. I’ll put up some more cool examples too as they come in.
