Anyone Buy a blue 1970 442 shell in the chicagoland area

I just bought a lot of parts from a guy. He got it out of a storage auction. Well i found alot of 1970 original and NOS parts in it. I also found a few pics of the car body off the chassis and the chassis next to it. I have the interior, lots of trim and body stuff, the (i think) original engine and trans! NOS stuff. I can tell this stuff has been stored for years! If this stuff came up in auction, im sure the car has to be around somewhere. The parts are in great shape. This was a nice car! Looks like he was starting a complete restoration. If you bought the car, i have all your sh*t!

The car was nice, the parts are nice. This car HAS to be still around! I would like to get these parts back to the original car.

Wow! Nice of you to go to the trouble to try to reunite these parts!

I wouldn't hold out much hope, though - looks like those pictures were taken at least 20 years ago.
