RESCUED: His and Hers ONE OWNER '66 and '73 Corvettes Stored for 49 YEARS!!

[@tomsnyder5324]

My uncle got my late grandfathers gray DeSoto coupe in 1951. He picked it up in PA and drove to his new home/job in LA area to work at Hughes Aircraft. I would be blown away IF this was my grandfathers DeSoto.

Hard to believe they bought both vettes new and basically parked them in a garage for 49 years to just forget about them. Dennis made a great find on these cars.

What is wrong with y'all? Isn't it obvious what's happening? Folks don't give a damn about some damn car when they're old and dieing.

[@michaelbednar4550]

Dennis. What I find so inspiring with you and your team is just how genuine you all are. It is refreshing how respectful you are with everyone and how you do not seem to haggle around pricing. As you stated in this video how you have “paid up” for these cars due to the storied past and the fact they were one owner cars. You understand the significance of these cars and just love watching. We live here in Michigan just outside Detroit as well. Opposite from where you found these. We love Corvettes and own 2. Keep finding and preserving these gems!!!

Grams drove a stick...😁👌 Nice score Dennis . 👏👏

[@williamstamper442]

I seen the Michigan bicentennial license plate right away on the thumbnail and had to roll in and say this... That was actually a thing here in Michigan where a husband worked for GM and bought new corvettes for him and the wife every few years. Over time that happened with dad 2 different times. In 1969 he was looking for a 1967 442. He found a red one and selling because two new vettes were on order and the guy learned they just came in. That guy worked at the GM tech center in Warren, MI and had that 67 442 warmed over royal bobcat style but for Olds. Second time it happened was 1979. After watching smokey and the bandit dad wanted a trans am. He found a silver 76 t/a with a 455 and 4 speed. Similar situation the seller worked at GM and had just heard his 2 vettes just came in. Dad was in the right place at the right time when searching for a used car, but a certain rather special car and paid off those two times thanks to 4 new corvettes!
