When the Vietnam era seniors get to that point in their lives where the kids and grandkids do not want these cars, there’s going to be a lot of these type of finds.

Agree. The few that remain won’t be around for much longer as the owners of these old collections are pretty much all 80+ years old. When they pass it is typically the surviving spouse or kids that sell the cars. The good part of this is that the cars and collections get out of the barns and garages and into the hands of car lovers who will get them back running!

What an incredible find! I came across your channel via Barnfinds that had a writeup about the black '63 and a link to your eBay ad, which in turn led me here.. and what a treat. This has to be one of the most epic barn finds in the history of barn (or in this case garage and basement) finds ever. And thanks so much for filming this Ms. Allison.. great job! I was in my mid teens when most of these beauties rolled off the assembly line so this has been a real treat to watch. Thanks again to all from a new fan of vintage cars and barn finds from sunny AZ. 🤠👍

The previous owner _really_ liked 65s and 66s. Nice job! My hands are full with just one midyear. If you have a spare L79 block....A tip though- don't jack a midyear up from the crossmember under the engine. I know, we all did this to our GM A-bodies. But the C2 frame isn't an A-body frame. Not only will it get dented most likely, but the weight distribution can make things spread apart. Sure, people do it all the time on a C2. Not worth the risk though.

Incredible. I wanted a mid year car about 20 yrs ago but could not afford it. Settled for a 1970. I've gone thru every nut and bolt on the chassis and still have to finish the car. Great design. No rust fiberglass body. Initial plan was for a 540 big block, but I have since backed down from that much motor. IMO the Corvette of that era was easily the best car GM ever developed, and may be the best car of all time.

You have to loop around the tires with the straps. Straps are known for stretching. They all stretch which happens. They could fall off the tire and you loose your load. Odds are it doesn’t happen but if it does. I’m not an expert just have taken towing courses with the largest towing company in North America. This is how it was explained. I’ve had straps come loose but didn’t loose the load.

@@6or1822:43 is on the top of the tires not around them. they didn’t loop the strap around the tires. Like I said probably not all going to come loose. But if it ever does your 100% liable. If you look at a flat deck tow truck which does this all day song they strap around the tires. Where those moving/hauling straps cause they where not tire straps. You can actually purchase tire straps which are designed to go around the tires. Or if your good at knots you can use those straps with the proper knot and loop which will tighten around the tire.
