Default Rare Corvette barn find

We've all heard the stories about some old farmer with a long-forgotten Corvette stashed away in a barn, right?

Here's that story in real-life, and it took place only ~30 miles from where I live.

Cool story. Glad to see it saved.

Eric

Too Cool.............

That takes me back to when we found YS-043 in a barn in the late 80's. That picture looked familiar.

Seemed like nice chaps to me. Corvette Guys have to go to extremes to overcome stigma.
To straight axle guys, I'm sure this car is near the top of all lists.

a factory blueprinted pilot car sure would rank that high for me...the guys drove it almost nonstop after picking it up at the factory to get to the race track and raced the piss out of it and got third, probably without a oil change or touching the motor, killer car!
