Parr8hed Posted January 5, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 5, 2015 http://restomods.com/forgotten-corvette-collection-rediscovered-256/ A long overlooked Corvette collection (36 of them to be exact) has been sitting in various storage garages for over 25 years just waiting to hit the open road. So how did this collection come into being? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted January 5, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 5, 2015 My cousin has a Corvette collection. I posted this on facebook and tagged him. He will wet his pants when he sees this. He has a 1965 that he bought brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former member Posted January 5, 2015 Share #3 Posted January 5, 2015 My neighbor had a 63 split window vette, and an Avanti sitting in the driveway for years. I can't begin to remember how many times we crashed our bikes into them, or bounced a basketball off them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 1962 Studebaker Hawk GT will be the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Silly Posted January 5, 2015 Share #5 Posted January 5, 2015 What year is that yellow 'vette on the left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrAzY Posted January 5, 2015 Share #6 Posted January 5, 2015 I would love to have the '53 or the '56. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted January 5, 2015 Share #8 Posted January 5, 2015 The colletction was made for a contest done by MTV or VH1 back in the day. It was given away and then along came artist Peter Max. Peter Max bought the collection from the winner and then it sat and did nothing other than gather dust and get moved from warehouse to warehouse. Now it has been sold and Max is in hot water for not paying the agents their commission. https://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/peter-max-s-forgotten-corvette-collection-emerges-from-the-dust-after-25-years-162558587.html The 1963 could be a convertible, hence no split window. I have looked for a list of the vettes in the collection, but have not found one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted January 5, 2015 Share #9 Posted January 5, 2015 Yep, the 63 was / is a hard top convertible, not a coupe. http://vh1maxcorvette.com/1963-corvette/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
