Now things like that does indeed bring a to your eye...

Someone rescue those poor cars...

Nice find Jordan !..

 

[High-Test]

:sad: Why......... Nice Find! Now if only it was a barn without an owner.....

Many of those cars I would love to own.

They look pristine and hopefully some will be brought back onto the road, for someone's enjoyment.

Wow...Just Wow......I don't think they'd start up at all after sitting like that for many years. But it Why were they left out like this, what happened exactly?

 

[Emohawk]

Makes me feel guilty, maybe I'll take that untouched C4 Grand Sport I've got sitting at the back of my GT4 garage for a spin later. (edit: Very nice car, that. Sticky!)
Also makes me wonder if I really need every colour of every Supra in the game.

But it Why were they left out like this, what happened exactly?

This article linked in the post explains it.

Thats pretty sad... Can any Vette enthusiast buy them off the owner and restore them or something? At least a couple...

I don't understand why these cars were left here. Seems like 20 or so with a few C1s and C2s (but it seems mostly C3s). Value would be astounding if these cars had a little work done to them.

They'd actually be worth more if they were left like that than if he painted them.

Its been 15 years! And now he still going to paint them!?
I say take some to the Corvette Museum and sell the rest to loyal owners. They need a home. Unfornately, I'm morely a fan of the late C3s and the later C4, 5 and 6 models.

I think most of them will clean up well without painting them.

Wow, that's an amazing story. At least they're in a garage. Peter Max could have commisioned Christo to wrap them to keep the dust off, though.

What Peter Max should do is donate the collection to a museum or something. Those '53's are quite a nice ride, and it's truly a shame just to have it sit there unloved.

What.... But how....AAARGGG. It's simply not fair that one ******* can afford to ignore all these beautiful 'Vettes. Give them away. Donate them to museums (I could clear some space in my garage museum ). Sell them off. Just don't let them sit like that.

Umm, who is this Peter Max fellow, anyways?

He's a famous painter who planned one and still does on painting limited edition art pieces on these Vettes.

They're worth more without the paint though.

Wow, what a gold mine. Cool pictures.

I've been following this ordeal since it started, and just this weekend, apparently four of the members there got together and they are documenting the cars and taking pictures. Updated thread here. http://www.digitalcorvettes.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=37050 The next part of the story has yet to come, but it should be up soon. Cheers. 👍
