Moss-covered 1961 Chevy Corvette
Moss-covered 1961 Chevy Corvette on Craigslist is one-of-a-kind green machine
You won’t find many cars greener than this one.
A 1961 Chevrolet Corvette that’s been sitting in a yard for 40 years and is still covered in moss has sprouted up on Craigslist.
The seller tells Fox News that he found it in central New Jersey after getting a tip from an estate agent. It was the gem among a group of six cars sitting outside of a rundown house that was full of car parts.

It'll prob turn out to be some famous racer with incredible history and worth $1.2MM...

If anyone's interested in it, here's the Craigslist listing for that 61.

This must be a whole new trend in Corvette custom finishes. I'm sure that most of the Forum members who were at Corvette Carlisle last year, remember seeing this "green" 56.

I love the negative camber--it must have been set up for auto cross.....
On second thought, I think I saw this car makes its debut in the movie, "American Sniper".....
Owner says the Fuel Injection still works.....

A little quick and dirty “research” has uncovered the little known legend of the racing history of that car - it was driven by Stirling Moss at Mosport! .
