Well the good thing is it doesn't look like they cut the quarters out all the way to the top for tire clearance.

Chain yanking. It's what we do. It's the Corvette Forum way!

Glad to hear another old Vette will be going to a good home.

As long as he doesn't bring it home in a 24' enclosed trailer being towed by a Jeep he will be good.

I like the teaser photo can't wait to see the rest.

If you read the very first post, they had already agreed to sell it before the divorce. So the guy only lost out on half the selling price. Based on what has been posted, I'm guessing the reason he was uncooperative was less about loving the Vette, and more about just wasting to screw his ex over. Since she stands to get the $ from the sale, the longer he held the car the longer she had to wait for her money.

Yup. Sounds like it was a control and bruised ego issue for Dick........

Somehow, what with the decades-long downward spiral of self-destructive behavior and now full blown AIDS, I don't see Charlie as the face of a winner who's winning. His caption should read "Flaming" or "Disintegrating" instead. He was once a pretty good actor, too.

Well, since OP's car is a 56, and that is a 58-60, I'd guess "no". Neat pic anyhow.

Courtland Dragway closed down about 1973. It is now Bessemer Airport.
A blast from the past.

jv04, I lived in the Shoals area back then, near Courtland, Al. Didn't hear of a drag strip. Now Bessemer is near B'ham, so help me out. Where was the drag strip/airport located?

Quarters look fine, but HUGE tubs to get those big meats under there. And probably the rear frame is all changed to drag specs.

What's the plan for the car Gerald?
