Anyone else come across this gem? That buyer looks like they are going to have their hands full, but I'd love to see an after pix if a restoration is undertaken!

It should buff right out. I am guessing if it was parked in a wet area where moss grows like that, the frame is probably rusted away.

Whoa! The buyer has more courage, skill and money than I do, but it's great someone is going to bring it "back to life."

He got $13 or $14K for it. Sold it to a restoration shop who's going to keep it as-is for display purposes, as rumor has it. He also sold the '54 to someone else.

That pic of the 57 brings up some mixed emotions. I missed out on a 57 when I was 18 yrs old due to a mistake by a "friend" and that's when my love affair started with Corvettes. I waited another 40 years before I bought mine.
