The First...

Hello all. =) This is the start of an idea my friend Travis and I have had in our minds for the past few months. We are avid car enthusiasts living in NYC always looking for that next project or cool car stored and forgotten. We have made it our duty to troll the neighborhoods around New York City looking for cars. Not just any cars, but cars with nostalgia. Cars we've seen growing up, the cars we've all heard stories about. The kinda cars that you see and it just makes you think of a better time.

Here we are, bringing you the cars we've found around mostly around Queens and Brooklyn. Cars that were once mint, once loved, once driven. Anything really goes here. American, Japanese, Euro, etc. We'll do our best. But expect mostly 70's-80's Japanese and American cars since those are what we hold closest to our hearts.

One thing we would like to address is, please do not ask for locations of these cars. We will not disclose actual addresses in respect to the owners.

Here's some cars from our adventures through St. Albans Queens on 2/2/2010.



This one like most cars were found on accident. I caught the side of the car from another yard around the corner. Here's an '84 Pontiac 15'th Anniversary Trans Am. 1 of 1500 produced in 1984. These cars came with Upgraded Recaro seats, Leather covered Steering wheel, shifter knob, and map pouch. A 5.0 High Output w/carb powered this machine with a 700R-4 4 speed Transmission out to a Posi Rear with disc brakes. Truely one rare bird to come across in Queens. Travis and I spoke to the owner, a older gentleman who was very nice to us. He allowed us to take a look at the car and give us some insight on it. It was last on the road in 1999 and has been sitting since.



Here lies Bigfoot. An '82 Toyota Pickup modified with dress up and some off road goodies. I apologize for the lack of photos on this one since I ran out of space on my camera. But this truck is in pretty good condition for it's age. Some rust on the cab and some on the bed. The truck was set up for show at one point in it's life. The bed once had a hydraulic ram to make it into a dump bed. Huge lift, gianormous tires, and a mean front end makes this 'Yota a head turner. We spoke to the current owner who told us he bought the truck from a guy around the corner for $600 and so far has changed the chassis, carb and has added some of his personal touches. The truck will be shipped to Haiti in the near future where he will enjoy the truck.


Last but not least for this day was a maroon '86 Camaro Z28 or IROC-Z. Theres not much known about this car other than it's been sitting in a yard for a few years. We knocked on the door and got no answer. We spoke to a man across the street who informed us that the home is empty and the current owner checks in every few days to pick up the mail. He advised us to leave a note for the owner to get in contact about the car. Which we will be doing soon. I personally have a soft spot for Maroon Third Gen Z28s.

Keep Checking back for updates. We have lots more to discover. =)
