Default New old guy

Hi all. I bought my 'vette 40 years ago. It is titled as a '60 but I never licensed it since I always intended to do a driver restoration. The car is about 95 percent complete but has incorrect engine and transmission. It is missing part of the grille, the original steering wheel, shift linkage, one arm rest and the chrome strips on the sides of the glove box cover. Over the years I have been disassembling the car, which has led me to believe it is actually a '59. I have now decided that I can't do the restoration work and can't afford to have it done, so I will probably be selling it. I have pics that I can post when I figure out how and make up my mind. Right now I am in limbo with the car.
