Now it just sits, and for the 61, it has been completely dissassembled and the motor is hidden in parts throughout the barn. The problem is Im going off to college to play football and so i do not have the time to inheret and restore either of these from my father.. so they sit and wait, im just hoping when i come outof college i still have the same desire as i do now to restore them.
However!In the light of that somber note, I would be more than happy to relieve you of the pressure these "parts" are causing in your life. You're off to school, and you shouldn't be bothered with the nagging details of a messy garage left behind.
Let me help you!!! Please!!!

so the 67 is Marnia Blue with bright blue interior. can you please tell the whole story on the cars, your dad, and why he is giving them to you. and you should fill out your profile so it doesnt seem like your a newb troll who is here to brag about what his daddy gave him.

the cars are not in parts, only the 61 is and the 67 is complete. These originally belonged to my dads family and he owed 4 corvettes his hole life. the 67 hasnt been driven since 1988 the year i was born. and the other two corvettes he had purchased throught his life he had to sell to take up dirt late model racing. and when we moved into our home the 67' was parked in my barn and never moved since.

I also have a '68 Shelby GT500KR convertible, and a '71 Cuda Hemi Vert - both with less than 10K original miles. I think that by the time I get out of school, I will want to sell them cheap and move on with life. What should I do?
You should sell them to me cheap that way I can have book end cars(the 500GTKR and Hemi Cuda), and I'll give the ZL-1 to the 1st person that can tell what number I am thinking of between 1 and 3. That would be the honorable thing to do.

If it looks and smells like a troll, it may be a guy with Vetts in his barn

You're brave. Straight on face shot is what I need. Try to look hungry.

Now you made me feel bad.
It's all in good fun GG. Lately life has kicked my azz up one side of the street and back down the other too, but ya' gotta laugh.
