The recent experience of Reader Alex A. is an example of not hesitating to let your friends and associates know about you passion for classic cars. You just never know who might know about a great find. One day at work, a co-worker and friend of Alex found out that he loved old cars. His friend then asked him if he wanted to see the classic car that was parked in his Uncle’s garage. Alex jumped on the opportunity and what he found, besides a mountain of junk, was this C1 Corvette. There was so much stuff piled in the garage that it made it difficult to even get a photo of the car. He doesn’t know what year it is, but it looks like a ’61 to us. When we found out about it we had to ask him if it was for sale…

Before being parked in the Uncle’s garage in the late ’70s, it belonged to the friend’s father. When hard times hit the family, his father sold it to his brother, who promised to hold onto it until they could afford to buy it back. After all these years, it is still parked in the garage, but sadly the Uncle doesn’t seem too interested in letting it go. Perhaps he is still holding onto it for his brother. Alex thinks that with a good cleaning it would look great again and with only 30k miles, it shouldn’t need much work to be driven again. Let’s just hope that the Uncle will change his mind soon and let this Corvette go to a new home. Thanks go to Alex for sharing his find! And remember, you never know who might know about a hidden classic.
