Chasing the Local legendary cars.

Congratulations on a great find. There is a guy about a mile from me that has 3 Vettes sitting around his house, a 58, a 63 split window and a 71. Also has 2 40 Ford coupes. I was told the 58 and 63 have been sitting for 20 or more years. About 1 year ago he covered them with tarps, but they are in rough shape. I talked to the owner a few months ago about them. He will never sell the cars. It's a shame.

------So,Charlie,,,Does this mean we will see you at Bloomington Gold? Last weekend in June. You will have a long parts list to fill by then. I sell all the BG T-shirts (for 19 years) and will give you one if you show up........Bill S

I put a battery in the red 63 and cranked it till I had oil pressure, stepped on the gas a couple times and it fired right up. Then it died and didn't want to start until I figured out that it was now out of gas. Added a couple gallons and dumped a bit in the carb and it runs fine. Step on the brakes and nothing. Check the master cylinder and it is empty. Add brake fluid and.........still no brakes. Put the auto trans in gear and it goes nowhere. Check the tranny fluid and nothing. Add two quarts and we have liftoff. Drove around the barn using the parking brake to stop. Power windows work, headlight doors and lights work. Power steering sounds like it needs fluid. Alternator, gas guage and tach works. Took it out and blew the walnuts from the squirrels out of it and washed it.

Looks like your building a bigger toy box in the back of the car.

I saw this post last night and I still haven't got my jaw back off the floor.

Huge congrats! This is the kind of thing most of us can only dream about.
