Barn Hides a 100k CORVETTE !!!

Same owner as Nomad video:
Another Barn/Garage find on a Super rare, Desirable and Specially optioned Chevrolet Classic. This owner has had in his possession for over 30+ years and restored back in the 80’s. I have personally ridden in this thing and it is Nasty ! 400hp + in a light weight body was very impressive. Get past the dirt and you’ll see a diamond that’s not rough !!!

[@robertclark9]

That car needs to be brought back to life. Not only that, it needs to be driven occasionally. Letting them sit like that is the second worse thing you can do to a classic like that. Super nice car!

[@1957kwick]

My dad had one of these exact cars his was midnight blue black interior 427 tri Power carbs. One of the first AC Delco electronic ignitions. No points. Rated from the factory at 435 hp 1101 compression it was a beast. Had to sell it when I was 16 years old because of my mom and him getting a divorce he had to pay her lawyers fees.😞 thanks for showing brought back some fond memories. I’m 60 years old now my dad‘s been gone for over 30 years. Lost him because of cancer. But I remember the good times we both had in the car riding around in it most of all.

Mine was a red roadster, and it also had the bolt-on hardtop for winter weather. Also, my engine was the solid lifter cam version with 11.1 to 1 compression, and the rectangular port heads (435hp) and the knock-off wheel package. I sold it in late 1969. The owner passed away, and his son has the car, and now it's completely disassembled for a restoration project. Meanwhile, he's lost interest and everything is just sitting in boxes, but he won't sell. Two friends, and myself continue to "hover over him" like buzzards, waiting for him to change his mind.

I can't believe they restored it and didn't bother to put a car cover on it when they stored it. Even without the top of the line engine, that's over a hundred thousand dollar car... just sitting around getting dusty and having cats crawl on it. If it had the 435hp 427, it'd easily go for 200 grand or more, and if it had the L88, only 20 built in '67, the most recent ones sold for over 300 grand, and would probably bring half a million today.

This 40 hp. version has oval port heads , a hydraulic lifter cam and the tri power intake , the 390 hp. version was the same as the 400 hp. version except it swapped out the three carbs for one four barrel .
