I looked in the wheel opening and the frame was completely rust away even the rims were rusted. I couldn't see through the windows to see the interior. -

To make it economically viable you likely need a parts car with some good parts and rechromeable items. I don't know that the subject car here has much to contribute other than the V.I.N. plate and title. I think the new owner will likely have more in the repairs of the body to get it to the condition of the new body as delivered. The front clip will run $1400. plus expensive crating and shipping not to mention the bonding strips if you are going for an original look underneath. Then the labor to install/finish and additional time to finish/repair other parts of the body not shown in the picture that I am sure require some serious attention.Current Corvettes owned 1957 two top stealth 383 dual quads--1965 original low mileage 300 h.p. coupe.
Other Corvettes owned over the years:
1954. 1957 AIRBOX FI. Two 1958s one FI, One 2x4. 1961. 1964 convertible A/C auto trans. Two 1965s one coupe with 300 h.p. loaded A/C car, one 365 h.p. convertible Two 1966s one loaded A/C, BB coupe one loaded A/C, SB coupe. Two 1968s one BB convert, 1969 BB coupe. 1971. 1973. 1978 L-82. 1985, 1986 both 4+3s.Comment

I spoke with the seller who had a photo album of the car, including pics of it sitting in the woods. The front of the car is pretty soft and I agree with Darryl, there isn't much to salvage other than the VIN and the paperwprk. As with any swap meet, one man's trash is another man's treasure. It was interesting though.JohnComment
