'65 Corvette #s Fuelie Roadster, Garage Find, Stored Since '70, Mostly Orig Paint

[scuncio]

I saw this car unearthed on a Facebook post...absolutely covered in junk and unrecognizable to someone walking by the house even if the garage had been opened. Cleaned up pretty well...not sure if it will bring $50k but what a stunning color combo.

Original body panels? Both of the parking light panels have been replaced. Not the little “bumps” on the upper corners. Service part panels, and right for 63-64.

Looks like a cool car and the garage pic is priceless. Has 47,000 miles and has not moved since 1970? That’s a lot of annual mileage for a Vette.

My guess is a combination of Fabreze, 409 and ammonia.

Wonder how many mouse nests they had to clear out of that thing? I would go through every inch of the wiring to make sure nothing has been chewed up.

Would be a neat car to clean up and drive - if possible. Looks amazingly intact under the hood.

I just got bumped into second place for the most junk in a garage award .

I was offered the car a couple weeks ago. I am NOT taking away from the significance of the find. Wow - a '65 Fuelie convert... that's awesome and I was very interested. The asking price is steep and the information about how original it is was scant. I can say confidently it will never be a educational survivor but more of an unrestored car to enjoy without worry. Cool car.

I also got a sneak peak of this car (probably from the same broker as you, Dan) with a "you better act quickly" story. As cool as it is, it still needs a $100,000 plus restoration. It does have what looks to be a legitimate POP.
