Default Wisconsin Man Finds '54 Corvette In State of Disarray



Though Larry Fisette is known for uncovering some classic finds, this 1954 Corvette might be one of his luckiest to date, considering the disassembled car had been sitting for 50 years when he bought it.

Probably started out with something like "I wonder if I can get that fuel gauge to fit a little better"

Before you know it, everything is in pieces.

Yep, sounds like a classic case of project creep alright.

That really is not that far fetched from how things started out in 1973 when I bought the 56--------------------before I knew it, the body was off the frame and we were stripping off paint------------that was NOT the intention when I bought it!

Yep, another mid-late 54 basket case. More out there than you think.
