Re: undiscovered cars
The morel to this story is don't take anything for granted. I and the group of guys I run with here in south Texas are always actively looking for undiscovered muscle cars. About a month ago an older lady here in Katy called a friend of mine and told him she had a 68 Corvette that had been setting, un touched in her garage since her husband died 9 years early. She said she wanted it out of her garage wouldn't consider anything less than 20,000.00. He told her he was not that interested but would try to come by and take a look at it. He had just opened a new body shop so that never happened. Two weeks later she called back and ask him if he was going to come by. He told her he was sorry and would try to get by there the next day. That didn't happen ether. Two weeks later she called back and said if he didn't want to look at the car could he give her the name of someone that would come out and look at it. He told her he would come by around lunch that day. Well, when he got there she opened the garage and there sat a 53,000 original mile, totally numbers matching, totally original right down to the plug wires, blue on blue, original paint ,1967 427 Tri-power Corvette Coup with side pipes . She was the original owner, had the original keys and every piece of documentation there was to have for the car. He told her the car was worth more than 20,000.00. Her response was she wanted 20,000.00 and it out of here garage ASAP. If he didn't want to buy to please give her the name of someone that would. Needless to say the Corvette has a new owner. Stories like this make me keep looking.
