Looky What I Found....

[Rolling_Thunder]

the thing is the old lady is a little.... "off"... she doesnt want anyone to know she owns it... the only reason i saw it was my friend snuck me in to look at it while grams was out for the weekend.... so more pictures are not possible right this second.... but I know for a fact it is not going anywhere.... as noone knows about it... so... i'll definately be haggling in the near future.

[MrQuick]

"SLAP" what are you waiting for?? You better grab it or get in a holding pattern before we ..I mean these guys get wind of it. Where is it and i'll make sure it stays safe till you are ready.

You know to mentioned it I did see some real bad body rot on that right front quarter.

[abodyjoe]

she doesnt want anyone to know she owns it...

can't blame her there.. people would bother her non stop if people knew it was there..

that is incredible that cars like that are still around..

[Bob Johnson]

no putting a deal like this in a holding pattern...do it now or it will go away....that car is worth way more than she realizes I guarantee you..jump now or you'll be sorry is my opinion...

[paul67]

does your friend have no interest in the car , ie sentimental ? cause that why she might not want to sell it ,or that no one knows its there.

$$$$$$ burning a hole in my pocket......

I want to Pro Tour it!

Look at the old school ride catchin' the PT eyeballs. Frank is the 1st person to express a desire to cut it up (post #27!), no less!

well the grandmother has alot of sentimental attachment - so im not going to push too hard... this way she wont get pissed off and say "i'll never sell it to you!" --- so noone knows about it... been sitting for 40+ years... i doubt its going anywhere.... plus none of you know where it is

That's funny. As soon as I read the original post I was thinking "it may not be pro-touring... but it could be!", but was certain someone had already said it...

[Bill Howell]

OK I call BS. I know Frank too good, he is just trying to get a rise out of someone.
As much as he likes cutting cars, no way even he would cut a 55 Vette up.

[Bill Howell]

I have a question for the vette experts, what is the cable coming off the back of the generator? Is that how they drove the tach back then? I have never seen that before.

[malihoochie]

That is the cable for the tach drive. Back then, that is how it was done - and if the belts were not properly tightened the tach would read "off". Btw I am no expert - but "shine" now and then.

[Bow Tie 67]

It's like knowing the winning lottery numbers, but you can't play with them, just yet. CHA! CHING!!

I would like to write " For Sale " in the dust and then drive it through the bloomington gold show next year.

[BRIAN]

What is it with that body style Vette that everybody stores them away? Wasn't there a time capsule one stored in a brick vault? There was also a similar deal I beleive on EBAY.


I say let it stay were it is. Everybody is trying to do the old rob the old lady deal. How about make her a fair offer of assisting her in selling it and taking a percentage based on it's selling price.


If not give me her address and I will head over there with a Perry Como CD and a bottle of JD. Hey, sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

Rob Saboury has done it before..a 53 Vette of all things among others

[JoshStratton]

I hope she knows/figures out what she has. I hate to see old people get taken advantage of, especially with the costs of medical premiums these days.

If she is anything like my grandmother, she is probably scouring the internet getting an idea what reserve to use at Barrett-Jackson.
