Thanks Brian! That video gave me a strange feeling the first time I saw it. I guess the thought of someone else owning my Vette someday kinda got to me..........

That sounds like a great idea. I actually have a 1971 Chevy II and a 1968 Lincolin Continetal (sp?) in my barn. Both are perfect.

OK How do you put a price on a car like this? Most practical people would say its worthless junk. Some enthusiasts would want 10K for it's "Rarity". What's a fair offer ????

You know thats a good point!

What is the car worth sitting the way it is now verses the time and expense put in to restore. The restoration would require rebuilding the motor and trans along with the brakes, suspension and so on.

I just spent the last three years restoring a 69 barn find and here I go again with another. I'm not sure if I'm ready to tackle another one

If you restore it would it be a car you sell or hang in to?

If you plan on selling it, you'll get the money back...so you'd be doing it for the pleasure of restoring such a beautiful car back to it's original showroom class.

Great find.

The frame barely has any surface rust and most of the original factory paint is still visable. I have not had a chance to check the window frame yet.

Nice dry barn that guy stored the car in. Always nice when it's a dry environment.
