Chasing the Local legendary cars.

[Charley Lillard]

I think I remember them saying they had to pay about 4000.00 for the Yellow 67 Coupe. I peeked inside the red 63 gas tank this morning and the gas still smells good. The owner used to start them up once in awhile but as he got older it just became too much work. They said they all ran fine when they parked them.

Keep the original CA plates and dealer frames on them too. My opinion is leave them pretty much as-is. Yes, clean them up (owl dung is not really a "patina" item) and then preserve them as time capsules.

Those K-H mags are so cool on that '63---leave them on the car! Just put on a new set of belted pinstripe whitewalls.

Oh, and the "327" on the green 63's plates is very cool. "FLV 327" almost sounds like "FueLie Vette 327."

What a score. I can almost hear Jan and Dean coming from the radio in the red '63.

Charley, congrats and what an awesome find. These are the best stories that keep us all on the look out for the diamond or in your case diamonds in the barn. Thanks for sharing!

Speechless---The hairs are standing up on the back of my neck just looking at the photos ,it must have been GREAT just standing around those vettes stuck in time

You going to be out at the GG show next weekend with the '56 Charlie? Nice find, I think the vettes will agument your rental fleet very nicely!!

If that trailer is ruined by the smell I just might take it off your hands. I have been looking at alum trailers and that looks like a good one.

Congrats Charley.... nice to see more cars coming back to life

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.
