It will be interesting to hear if it was the owner's fault or if it was hit...

I'd be curious to see the damage. Get them to send you a pic Pauly.

Between the Texas car with the same VIN, and now this, sounds to me like that car was cursed. Maybe 67's were never meant to have a split window.

You can't mess with mother nature!

Pauly, now it sounds like a project car. Buy it back for pennies on the dollar and do it all over again.

Good advice

Better advice would be to buy it back for pennies, then use the previous profit to do it again and sell it to same guy, repeat, then buy that rare Corvette.

You would think, with a car that beautiful, that the new owner would be more careful, but not knowing the whole story who knows what happened, might not have been his fault..
