Barn find of another kind.

[djones]

I've been lucky to stumble upon some good race car deals in the past. I have now found something a bit out of my
Wheelhouse. Anyone out there know anything about Chevy muscle cars? I have made an offer on a 66ish Corvette
And a 60 something Chevelle. I know nothing about this stuff and could use some help
I'm only one of a few that knows the cars are available . I have a bunch of pictures I can send. Would really like someone to come take a look. I have access to the cars anytime but I suspect they won't be here long.
Pm me
Thanks
Don

I used to work with a guy restoring old Camaros and Chevelle's. Unless you know a restoration was done as a frame off, rotisserie, no expense spared restoration, then it wasn't. Everything is made to look and work good enough.
Even though you consider it out of your wheelhouse, the same principle applies just like formula cars. Look them over top to bottom and anything that just doesn't smell quite right, isn't. That said, if you're getting a bargain and don't mind the work and expense....

get the VIN numbers
you can trace them thru forums etc to see how the car was originally built, so that you have an idea if stuff like SS badges are real

I know a good bit having owned my C2 for 20+ years. But I’m nowhere near the location where you said they can be inspected. PM me your phone number and maybe we can setup a FaceTime for me to guide you while you are on site.

Thanks guys. Yes keeping this close to the chest. Fortunately it's kinda invitation only. I have a couple Chevy fanatic buddies coming out today to sort thru the stuff and educate me. I now know the Chevelle is a 66. Rather it was a couple formula cars or sports racers. Oh well can't win them all! Lol
