Wow.... this is flashback city for me... !!!
This is a virtual twin to my very first Corvette. A black on black '62 barn find back in 1974.
It truly was in a barn nearby and was covered with a foot of hay before I unburied it. Couldn't even see the car when I got there, just a corner of the rear bumper. I think the hay actually preserved the car quite a bit. That was the car that got me started in Corvettes.
Cleaned it up, got it running and drove it to high school. Picture a sixteen year old punk driving a nice '62 Corvette. What a waste....
Of course there were some differences.... mine was in much better shape since it wasn't very old at that time.
And my old '62 only cost me $200. Yes, two hundred. Man I miss those bargain days!
