I don't see a speck of road dirt or mud on either one.
I wonder if they are the shop owner's who moved them outside for some reason.

Theres a shop up in NH that has display cars in it. It has one room with an AC Cobra parked in it and they wheel another classic outside. My buddy pointed it out to me one night last year coming home from work...... So the possibility is very high that they are stored there or are for display due to there cleanliness. Or the second option is that they arrived prior to the recent storm that the east coast got. They were stored inside for obvious theft reasons and are there for a custom exhaust.

The owner scenario is most likely…..I don’t think a car with a NCRS plate is getting custom exhaust….LOL
Well…you never know….
My brother drove back by later and they were both gone so they must be inside….

The owner might be a member of the York County Corvette Club. They are always at Corvettes at Carlisle every year. We just got another snow on Thursday evening into early Friday . I was hoping to get at least one more nice day in the 50's or low 60's .

Mud & snow tires work great on a Vette. Drove my C4 to work every single day in Denver for 20+ years with no problem:

I did the same when I lived in Milwaukee for ten years and daily drove my C4 and then C5 Vettes. Had a spare set of wheels with Good Year Mud & Snows mounted. It drove great! Biggest issue when the snow was deep was when coolant temps would start to go up because the bottom feed radiator intake would get clogged with snow!
