That's pretty interesting....it's nice to see that two of those beauties have some potential. The picture (IMO) is very sad :( .

Re: R.I.P. sweet Corvette (Sir Tripower)
hey, i wouldn't mind having that racer outside the fence myself! :chevy been looking for a shell to make into a racer, just seems like most sellers think their box of corvette parts are worth as much as the finished product!

Sad...but still, that's so cool to see guys rescuing these cars! I hope they keep the web site current, it'll be very cool to see how these projects turn out.

Re: R.I.P. sweet Corvette (SmokedTires)
I wouldn't mind getting my hands on any of them, they have to have good parts on them, you would have to be able to make a couple of complete vettes out of all of those parts cars.

GEEZE Look at all those Parts, I can see a few that I need. :eek:
It's just like that earlier post about donating parts to other Vette owners. I wish THEY would donate parts instead of letting them sit there and rot. It is a shame. :(
The GOOD thing is, two of them are saved. :cool:

The blue one is a vinyl covered hardtop convertible. Oh man, what tragedy. Oh well, they all can`t be saved. :U

That is a sad pic, but I wouldn't mind having a few of them for parts. Lots of useful parts in there. Looks like mainly C3's, although I see what I think is a C4 hood? :confused: :confused:

For all of You, that haven't yet figuered out:
I've taken the pics out of the January issue of "Cars & Parts Corvette"-magazine. It shows "Elmer's Auto Parts" in Webster, New York. Look into that magazine for more pics and informations. There's a website from elmer's too:
http://www.elmersauto.com.
Probably there are some NY-guy amoung us (I could bet there are ...) who can make a visit at that salvage-yard and give us a reply what they have seen themselves?
Nasty greetings from Germany

Damn! Webster is only a few miles from here. I think Xracer works in Webster. Sunday is supposed to be a really nice day here. Perhaps we shall go on a field trip!
