1956-chevrolet-corvette-061956 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

This '56 Corvette shell and chassis has been sitting in storage for over 35 years. It was stripped in 1974 for a restoration, but as we all know sometimes real life gets in the way of our hobbies. The original 265 engine is long gone as is the rest of the drive train. No word on whether this was originally a 3 speed manual or a Powerglide automatic. Read the rest of this entry »

1955-corvette-011955 Corvette

Sometimes those stories about a dream car tucked away in some old guy's barn aren't too far off. Here's a candidate for a really nice project. It's a 1955 Corvette that looks to be Pennant Blue. This was a super rare color with only 45 produced because it was replaced early in 1955 with Harvest Gold. Not much more info available on this car, but it sure would be fun to wrench on.

This '59 Vette is up to it's axles in weeds and snow. According to the owner it's been sitting in this field in the California high country for more than 20 years! Man, this baby is just screaming to be restored! Read the rest of this entry »

63-chevy-nova-011963 Nova 4 Door Drag Racer Project

Someone started with a good idea on this '63 Nova, but just couldn't follow through. So here it sits. It's been tubbed for slicks, has a Ford 9" rear with Detroit Locker and 4 link suspension. Maybe someone will pick this gem up and finish what was started. Read the rest of this entry »

69-camaro-convertible2Brilliant. I mean, why wouldn't you leave your 1969 Camaro convertible out in the snow?...with no top...gathering leaves & crap to let the rust go nuts! Man! Buy a $30 car cover!!!

This was originally a Lemans Blue car with white convertible top. It was only a 6 cylinder, but that's still no way to treat a convertible Muscle Car! Read the rest of this entry »

1962-corvette-bbq-21962 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible - "Slight Smoke Damage"

OUCH! These photos just make you cringe. The great thing about the Corvette fiberglass bodies is they don't rust. But catching on file and burning to the ground? Yeah, you still gotta watch out for that. Read the rest of this entry »

1966 Corvette

1966-corvette-convertible-031966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Here's a cool little project that's been sitting in a North Carolina field. It's a 1966 Corvette convertible that someone started to do a resto-mod on. It's got a T10 four speed and Chevy 10 bolt rear end, but no motor. Interior is totally trashed (missing actually) and not sure what's going on with that left front tire. Maybe it's just the tire missing, but I don't see any spindle there either. As if there wasn't enough work to do on this car! Read the rest of this entry »

Yet another fire damaged Corvette. Those fiberglass bodies sure desintegrate in a hurry when they catch on fire. The source on both cars was the same, so you wonder if they were both torched in the same fire? Pretty expensive fire. Read the rest of this entry »

63-chevy-nova-01963 Chevy Nova SS Coupe

This cool little Nova SS has probably been someone's neglected project for some time. At least it hasn't been sitting in a field or a barn, but there's still quite a bit of rust to deal with. It's a 6 cylinder, but at least it runs! Read the rest of this entry »

1954 Corvette

54-corvette-convertible11954 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

Here's a project to get you drooling; a nice little '54 Vette chassis that looks to be mostly unmolested. The floor was hacked up a bit where someone tried to install a 4 speed, but nothing that can't be fixed. Now, locating a correct motor & transmission might be harder. Read the rest of this entry »
