72 Corvette Barn Find
 

I thought I would share a few photos of this Vette that myself and a close friend had the opportunity to save and resurrect this weekend! It's a '72 350, automatic, original unrestored, all original paint (from what I can tell) one owner, all service history, original paperwork including POP, window sticker, and bill of sale, registration records, insurance receipts, original license plate, etc. car was sold new about 10 miles from where we found it, which is about 20 miles from me.

Well, I had a smart a$$ remark in mind, but it wasn't nearly as good a Bruce's.

You win!!

Back to regular programming: what a great find.

When uploading the pictures you need to flip your monitor upside down. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]

Thanks everyone for the kind remarks, along with the smart ones [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
He plans to keep the car in as found condition. It hasn't been washed yet. We are going to get it running and dependable, then he plans to clean it up and enjoy it. Unrestored cars are the true &quot;show cars&quot; in my opinion. No restoration in site for this one!
As someone previously mentioned, those cars are still out there! This car had been less than 20 miles from my house all of its life and I never knew about it until last Thursday. We bought it Saturday. Don't be afraid to ask if they're for sale!
