Well Charlie,
I am very late in seeing this find as i don't view the Yenko site often.( That is another story)
Quite a find of Corvettes. Sure is nice to see there still are cars in the old barns.

I would pull the very rare 63 fuel unit from the intake before you try and run the motor. The nozzels will clog instantly with all the rust and junk you have in the tank.

Neat parts you got also. If you need any help with any car.....part......history ....people in know, etc., give me a call. I have been playing with these old plastic cars since 1969. Check my web site at www.vettefinderjim.com or call me at 909-794-7905. Do you want to sell any of the cars??
Regards,
Jim

Spent a few hours this morning steam cleaning the silver 67. Here are some pics. Some are just paint mark details that I figure might help someone with a resto on a similar Vette in the future. I don't know of any Vette sites to post them so I will do it here. Here is a before pic.

I remember when you found these. Do you still have them?
There is always a buyer for a good old Corvette.

Talked to 'Red Alert' today. We are getting together for Auction Circus Week in Arizona in Mid January. Want join us for lunch one day and we visit about these and the other treasures still hiding in your neighborhood......like the 67 AC 427 yellow convert

All have gone to new homes. It was sad to see a dealer paint the orig paint silver 67 in order to doll it up to sell. The yellow 67 is still with the friends I sold it to.

A friend owns the yellow 67 with white interior 390 horse car that is probably the one you are thinking of. There is also a 65 FI car with orig owner but TimG has dibbs if it ever gets free.

What happened to the silver/blue '63 SWC? I think it was red with funky K/H wheels when found (?) That was my fav.
