Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted May 23, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 23, 2023 Opening this man’s pool today. My father built the pool in the late 70’s. But here in the little detached garage is a 56 Vette. He says it hasn’t run in 3 years but I think it’s been sitting longer. He’s 84 and will die with it. He restored it in the early 80’s. Hood is open to run the battery charger. He says he’s working on it. oh, and the Challenger on the street is his. He says it came out the back door of Dodge’s offices in Texas and 40 extra hp over a stock one. He hopes to turn high 13’s in the 1/4 this summer. Cool old dude. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, buying with the intentions to store for hopes of making it an investment seems odd but then my Katana I owned for 17 years I only put a thousand miles on. Sometimes just owning it is enough. I read an article somewhere that said there were tons of people who bought 1978 Corvette Pace cars and stored them away thinking they would be a great investment. But so many people did it that now there are all kinds of low milers out there and the cars have never been worth much.

Had a 1980 Cutlass supreme fully loaded including T-tops. The car had a 260 2 barrel V-8 that could hardly get up a driveway approach. Surprised it had the TH350 transmission and not a metric 200. Swapped the motor out with a 403 from a Trans AM. Better but nothing to write home about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy missed a corner and barrel rolled the Trans Am with no insurance. Bought the car cheap from him pulled the motor and trans which were basically the only good parts on the car. Put the motor in my Cutlass and sold the transmission for what I bought the car for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
