Awesome- thanks for sharing these great pics.
Interesting that the SWC with only 1000 miles still has an aftermarket (Hurst?) shifter and changed to what looks like a cassette player?
True "Day 2" changes on an undriven car.

Yeah we asked about that. He said that the shifter was changed back in the '70s and the radio was changed in the early 1990s. He still has the original parts to put it back together.

Thanks for sharing what the owner allowed pics to be taken of. Pretty cool contents inside the barns. Man, my mind is going nuts over what you saw that isn't to be spoken of…the imagination is running wild!

He did get sad when we walked to the orange 1975 convertible with AC, PW, PS,PDB, tilt/tele, deluxe interior, both tops, automatic,etc. He explained that was his sons car, which he lost about 4-5 years ago in a car accident. Together they did things with the cars and spent time with the cars and themselves. Now that he os getting older, and his son is gone, they sit lifeless in the barn.
Sad story all the way around. Anyways, he is torn on keeping them hidden and building a place to display them for the public. I am going to try and convince him to build a place for them to be displayed. I see money to be made, charge $5 a person and let them check the cars out. While they are protected and not sitting in mud or a field, they are not being maintained like they ought to.

That's a sad story that goes along with a treasure of vintage Corvettes.
Thanks for sharing.
