Hi Y'all from Cajun country Baton Rouge

[sincro]

New to the forum but not new to Corvettes. I found a 1965 Coupe that has been in a barn for the past 21 years and couldn't pass it up. This one makes a total of 11 Corvettes I have owned through the years but will not be the last one. Yes, I am in the process of refreshing it and plan to make it a driver. Looking forward to good information and tips.

Hi neighbor and welcome to the from east of the Pearl River!!

It sounds as though you've enjoyed a happy relationship with Corvettes through the years. :cool Did you find the latest one locally? We'll look forward to hearing more about your latest project and seeing photos of it too.

Hello and welcome to CAC! My mother use to live over there near Plank Road with my grandparents where Tony's Seafood is. Glad to see a Vette lover from Baton Rouge.

Hi Y'all

Thanks for the welcome. I have been involved with many different types of cars in my hobby and have met the best people. I feel sure I will do the same here.

The barn was in Colorado where it is very dry. It has 89,901 miles on it and has a 327 engine that I think is a 300 hp and a four speed tranny. No power or air right now. Body is perfect but has been repainted sometime years ago. Rats got inside and did a number on the seats and carpet but I am in the process of installing new everything inside. Photos in near future.

Welcome Sha <spelling?> Another ex-Louisiana transplant from many, many years ago. I still pass thru Baton Rouge via Plank road on my way into Mississippi when visiting my folks. Barn find definately sounds like a great one. Look forward to seeing some pics.

Welcome to the CAC Sincro. Make sure you get all the rats out of her before you get to working inside. Good Luck on your project.

Welcome to the CAC. I made many trips to Baton Rouge during my career (your back yard so to speak), and here you find a corvette in a barn in my back yard. Just like Patrick, I am curious as to where in Colorado you found it, and how did you find it, and when?

Sounds like you rescued a classic from the old barn, another sucess story

I looked at one last year that had been stored in an old garage for 14 years, it was supposed to have been a 1972 LT-1, ended up it was a 1971 but it was rougher than a cob!!! It was for the most part destroyed; the dash and interior had been taken out and was set up for 1/4 mile drag car, fender wells and fenders all cut out, just not much left of it. Made me pretty much sick; too far gone for me since I am a stickler for the stock look. Too bad someone treated it like this but some were!

Anyway looks like you saved one, pictures would be good
