Default I'm Back! Looking for 56-62 driver in the P.N.W.

Hi Corvette buddies!

I spent seven years doing a frame off on a 1957 Corvette, vin number 1851. That car cost me a lot of money, and obviously time! The car turned out nice, but kind of burned me out on Corvettes for a while. I'm told that somebody on the forum bought the car. I wonder how they're enjoying it.

In the meantime, I've opened up my own restaurant. Jake's Pickup, A mostly organic comfort food joint in the back of a gas station -where we prepare everything from scratch. We been the number one restaurant in the area on yelp for 2 1/2 years straight.

I'm 44 years old and I've had 18 Corvettes and since I was a kid. My favorite two being totally non-original cars.

So that being said, I am looking for an awesome non original driver. 56-62

I look forward to you catching up with some of you guys -it's been a long time.

Cheers,
Jake

thank you very much for all the leads and private messages! So these cars for 60 grand plus or minus are a little too steep for me. Plus no red cars please. I am sure they're worth every penny, but I'm on a little bit more of a shoestring budget. Basically looking for just a really solid driver, with rough paint on solid body and non original drivetrain. Thanks again! Jake

Here is a '62 current bid of ~ $32K but has not yet met reserve. It is a NOM so probably a $40K car or so but it IS red so...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/302314758647...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Here's a '62 that I think is advertised here on this forum as well
He is asking $46K
http://www.ebay.com/itm/152550043068...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

A '61 @ a $29K bid which has not yet met reserve. Likely an "under $40K" car IMHO
