Very impressive looking car. Kinda sounds like a bit of a strange recluse to buy a car like that and not drive it except at night??

 

I was looking at that one yesterday. Hell of a story behind it.

 

The guy had to be pretty weird. He had not checking account and no credit cards. There might be some money buried in his backyard in a coffee can.

 

What a 1 in a million kinda deal. Sure there are loads of low mileage super cars about but from a Howard Hughes (not money but "off" maybe) kinda job, weird but way cool. I may download the rest of the story and soak that up.

Thanks for the link.

 

That's a neat story. In fact, Amazing.

 

He certainly picked the right model and it occurred in the right year. Looks perfect!

 

I had read about this car about a year or so ago. One thing that is really unusual is that he changed the valve covers and the air cleaner. I think it is an usual color combo but very pretty. No doubt it is the holly grail of Corvettes. The car will be a reference for anybody restoring a 67 Big Block Corvette. It will be interesting to see what it goes for. Does anybody know what the neighbors sold it for.

 

just amazing. I sure never find anything like that in any garage I get to look in!!

 

I'm guessing this car will get sell for close to $1,000,000.00
Any other guesses or thoughts on the auction selling price?

 

Quite a story...if its actually true

 

Wow! Just wow, what a beauty.
Hellava story too.
