If this split window Corvette looks familiar, that’s probably because we featured it back in July when reader Brian T found it abandoned in an L.A. parking garage. He was able to track down the owners and made them a strong offer, but they turned it down, you can read that story here. It would seem that his offer got the owner’s thinking, as it has just popped up here on eBay in California and is clearly being offered by the original owner’s family. While I feel bad for Brian, I’m glad that this car is finally being pulled from the parking garage and is hopefully destined for a good home where it will be restored and driven!

Brian was able to gather quite a bit of the car’s history, which he shared with us, but it’s great to hear it from the owner’s. It was a gift from their father to their mother as an anniversary present. They even remember climbing into the back to go for rides around Los Angeles. They still have all of the original paperwork that came with the car and even have photos of it from when they were kids!

Even if this wasn’t a split window, it would be an amazing find, simply because of all the history that comes with the car. While I’m really glad they’ve finally decided to let it go to a good home, I really feel for Brian. They told him they wouldn’t ever sell it, but I guess they had a change of heart when they realized how desirable and valuable it is. Given the condition, I think his offer was a good one. Being a 300 horse automatic car, I don’t think it’s worth much more than that. It’s going to be costly to restore the body and there is rust in the birdcage. It will be interesting to see what this one goes for. And maybe Brian will be able to buy it for less than what he originally offered them!
