Lean-to barn find?? with Update

[Ken R.]

I am building a Habitat house in west Weatherford. A worker as me if I had seen the corvette across the street. I said there is no corvette across the street. Well, there is. Haven't gotten up the nerve to ask about it. Question is, what year is it? Upload is a small image?

that looks like a lean-to find.
maybe a 79 or 80?


Uh oh-
Ken's off the box. Probably over there offering big coin for his 'find'.

Re: barn find??

It's a poor picture but I can narrow it down to 75-79.

Ken, you need to pursue this, it could be a very low mile Bowtie candidate and we both know there are very few of the late C3s that qualify since no one seems to care about them, go for it!

...said the guy with an '81. How did it do in Frisco?

Definitely a 75-79 front clip.

Re: barn find??

Very well Mark, it got the Bowtie sign-off so I will be in San Antonio. Hope to see you there. BTW, sorry I missed you in Frisco, did you make it?

You ought to get that one, Ken.
After all, you haven't bought a Corvette since... July!

Yeah, but that was an emergency..........

Exactly!
Ken already bought one he needed; this time, he can buy one which he wants.

Update on Lean-To Barn find

Happened to catch homeowner today and asked about the "corvette" in backyard. It is her brother's who parked it there 8 or so years ago. He is going to restore it someday! Sad, sad to see one like this now. Windows are open and whatever can get inside. Not sure I would want to touch it if the price was $0. Just a fun post for humor. Have 2 interior photos to upload but error trying. Will try in separate post.

Re: Update on Lean-To Barn find

another example of corvette yard art. Are there any other make/models of cars that turn to yard art as often as corvettes do?
