Finding a 1967 Impala in Rural Alberta
The story of discovering a complete, original Impala that had been forgotten for decades in a working farm building.
Read the storyFind answers to common questions about discovering, researching, and restoring forgotten vehicles across Canada.
We dig into ownership records, manufacturing documentation, and historical registration data to piece together your vehicle's story. Our research covers where it was built, who owned it, what happened to it over the years, and its original specifications—giving you a complete picture of what you've actually got.
We evaluate the frame, engine bay, undercarriage, interior, and rust situation to determine what you're really dealing with. The assessment gives you honest details about restoration scope—whether this is a straightforward project or something that needs serious work—so you can make informed decisions before investing time and money.
A standard research package usually takes 2–4 weeks, depending on how much documentation is available and how obscure the vehicle is. Some cars have solid paper trails; others require more digging across archives and collector networks.
We don't provide appraisals, but our research gives you the information you need to understand the market—rarity, original specs, comparable sales, and restoration costs. Armed with those details, you'll know whether you're looking at a collector's item or a fun project car, and you can price accordingly or seek a professional appraiser if needed.
We work with all kinds of forgotten vehicles—British sports cars, European imports, rare Canadian-market models, even unusual trucks and specialty vehicles. If it's got a story and you've found it in a abtrusion or shed, we can help you uncover what makes it special.
Take clear photos of the VIN, engine block, interior trim, and any identifying marks. Get in touch with us or reach out to a local collector club—don't restore or disassemble anything yet. We can help you figure out what you've got and whether it's worth pursuing seriously.
