Re: ROTTING MUSCLECARS
This is not what you'd call a barn find, but it is a car that’s been hibernating for quite some time. My friend Jim bought this ’56 Vette while he was in high school. It was almost 20 years old at the time and had seen several paint jobs and some hard street duties in its life. It’s an early production car, one of the first 100 or so off the line, loaded up with 2 tops, the rag a power unit, 2 x 4’s and an automatic. The car was partially disassembled as the necessary parts were gathered and life and other cars jumped in front of its reassembly. Covered with a blanket, it became a shelf / workbench in his Dad’s garage for the next 32 years. Not too long ago his Dad said to him, “Think I'll ever get to ride in this before I die?” This lit the fire, and the car was pulled out and Jim’s been spending several nights a week working to get it back together. It’s scheduled for the painter not too long from now, so the thrash begins! Good luck Jim!! - - The original red showing through - - - - - - original spare tire - accumulated treasures! -
