1964 Corvette Barn Find

1964 Corvette - Barn Stored for 30 years

This '64 Corvette for sale was recently pulled out of storage after sitting for 30 years. It looks to be pretty much intact with the exception of some poor modification decisions by a previous owner. Luckily the original engine and transmission are still there, although the heads are long gone. But the block and intake are matching numbers, so that's a start. The frame is solid with only some minor surface rust to contend with.

Really the worst things about this car are the modifications by a previous owner. The fiberglass repair you see at the rear is where some hideous wing/spoiler thing was removed. The hood has been totally hacked up and is a disaster. It's like someone wanted to put stacks up through it or something. Or maybe some homegrown forced air induction system. Whatever the history it needs some expert patch work to be usable again. The rest of the body seams are still visible, so it's not likely it's had a ton of body work done to it.

In the end this is a great example of a second generation Corvette and will surely be restored. The damage done by the previous owner hurts to look at for sure, but isn't irreversible. With any luck this classic Corvette will be back and running in the near future.
