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.

Charley, I heard about these care in 1992 and went to his house. He told me that "no one gets to see my cars". I let him know that a friend of his told me to stop by. He aksed me if I had a Corvette and, of course we started talking about my cars. He said "wait here" and got the keys to the barn and told me to follow him. As we were going in he said "when you leave here, you've seen nothing, right?"
I said "right". He told me about some guy that came around writing a book and he told him to get lost. That guy was Noland Adams. I asked Noland about his visit and he said the guy told him to leave, he did not want anything published about his cars. He turned out to be very kind and once in the barn, he enjoyed telling me about the cars.
I have often wondered what happened to all of them and am glad that they are in good hands. I think that the red '63 and the two '67's are canidates for Survivor status, even if the yellow one has a repaint. Can't wait to see them again.

Yellow one just fired up a minute ago but accelerator pump is leaking.
