      THERE IS A 1954 CORVETTE SITTING IN A DRIVE WAY UNDER A RUBBER TARP IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD FOR 20 PLUS YEARS. LAST TIME I SPOKE TO THE OWNER ABOUT 13 YEARS AGO HE WANTED $11k FOR THE CAR. HE TOLD ME HE WAS THE 2ND OWNER AND THAT THE ORIGINAL OWNER WAS A PROFESSOR AT MIT. THE ALSO MENTIONED THAT HE HAS ALL THE ORIGINAL PARTS IN HIS BASEMENT. THIS CAR UNDER THE TRAP IS IN BETTER SHAPE MAYBE NOT MUCH BETTER?

          Les -

          Could you turn off your "caps lock" key? Text in all-caps is hard to read, and is generally considered as "shouting".

            After looking at this car, which I enjoyed, every time I came across the right hand exhaust tip, I had to chuckle. Says a lot...

                A dangling participle?

                    Those photos were painful to look at. Too bad the car was neglected for so long. Maybe there's a few parts on it that can be used on another 1954. I hate to see that Corvette in such poor condition. Maybe someone with a little time, $$$, and "know how" can work a miracle.

                      That one's pretty rough, even for me.

                        This restoration would be a labor of love

                          I don't see what the big deal is.

                          It'll buff out!

                              I have located a 1954 that is a project, but not like the one described on ebay
                              I really am trying to figure out the value?

                              It was stored for 20 years (as the story is told) and not driven since 1995.

                              Can anyone give me a little guidance. I understand this is not a lot of info.
