It is sort of fun to see those dusty cars. You ponder their existence and their story. But, pretty soon, after a minute or two of "pondering" you impatiently want someone to get the friggin stupid dust off (whose idiotic idea not to toss at least a thin old rag sheet over a stored Corvette - gimme a break) and spiff them up as deserved for a show where it can be admired in its intended element, as designed.

One thing we forget - a lot of these cars were not in great condition when purchased.
A few have been "repaired" and will be auctioned / put up for chance ? … soon..

3 of the "restored" cars were at the NY auto show. The alleged winner could not afford the taxes.
There are still a few at the shop that is restoring them , as is the VW.
