Default Chasing the Local legendary cars.

For years people around here have talked about the old guy with all the Vettes locked up in a shop and a barn. They have supposedly been there for years and if you approach him he tells you they are very valuable and not for sale. Some had said they saw them through the window of the closed up shop. 3 days ago I got a call that the cars were for sale. Out the door I went. It is about 20 miles from here. I get there and the door is open and a 40ish fella asks what I want. As I am staring at a midyear Vette behind him I explain the call I recieved. He says yes they are for sale and goes to get his Mom. Turns out her husband is now 86 and has Alzheimers. She wants to sell the cars and move into town. They moved up from Southern Ca years ago and brought their collection of 7 Vettes with them. They bought them as investments on advise from a Brother. They sold 2 of them years earlier. Looking at registrations, last time one was driven was in 1985. Two 63 Split Windows, two 67 Coupes and a 56 that was last registered in 74. These are true barn cars. Here are some pics.
