As anyone who's seen my album on Flickr knows, there are tons of unrestored muscle cars just sitting in Moyock, NC, ready for somebody to bring a trailer an resurrect their 455s or 390s. There are places like this all across the nation. In Newton, WI there is Newton Classics, which deals largely in unrestored muscle cars, though they have restored beauties inside their showroom. There are Country Classic Cars in Staunton, IL, Classic Cars of South Carolina with their "Field of Dreams", and many more.
Sadly, the business has slowed and many of these cars are just sitting out slowly rusting away. There are also restoration businesses, such as the Corvette restorer I saw in North Carolina, that have many parts and body shells lying about. There was even a '54 body lying around at that Corvette place that would probably go for a lot of money, even considering its bad condition. Save a muscle car (or anything else) and save the world and a classic car business. Photo is of a Buick for sale at Classic Cars of S.C.
