Sad really.
Hope he enjoyed driving those 3000miles... At night, and that he enjoyed staring at car, in a blanket, in a shed for the next 44 years!
What was he saving it for?

wow what a cool story and a great corvette.who cares if the car sat there for so long thats the way he obviously want it to be or he would have drove it down to the beach etc.probably gave him more joy having it in mint condition,thats what some people are like.

what model charger?
Mix of words,perhaps, theres no legal issue,its been there parked up since it was six months from new,so long long time
I dont get why people are all against these cars parked for decades ....
Its really the owners car to do as they please ...
Foresight is a wonderfull thing,but who could afford to buy a new GT and park it up for 40,50 years,i know i couldnt

I know right, the fact that it's an all original '67 Corvette with only 3000 miles on it really makes it a beast that is as rare as anything and obviously is now well known around the world. I would love to be able to do that, but to spend a decent amount of cash on a brand new sports car, only to stare at it for the next 44 years, I don't think I would know anyone with that much self control, myself included!
