They are out there in abundance,Look in local bylines for project,hemmings,corvettes of carlilse,Join the ncrs they have a byline that comes out often,vette vues magazine also has a by lines.

Now are you sure you want to take on the task of a restoration.99 perent of the time it is cheaper to purchase a car done then to build one. Good luck and welcome to the forum

Welcome to the Corvette Action Center

Project cars show up on Ebay sometimes too. It may be a good idea to advertise for a project in Hemmings www.hemmings.com Corvette and Chevy Trader www.traderonline.com or join the NCRS www.ncrs.org and place an ad in the Driveline. Never can tell what you will find.

I found mine in a local newspaper ad. Sellers, of course, want 20-100% more than an old Corvette in need of restoration is worth. Be patient with them. If you are interested in their car, and the price is high, call them a few weeks after their ad runs out , and make a reasonable offer. If they say no - wait a few weeks and try again.

Local auto shows usually have car collectors of all types. A lot of them have old Corvettes in storage, or know someone who does. They are usually looking for garage space and money for their current project car.

Whatever you do, check the FRAME very carefully. Nothing is more expensive than having to pull the frame out from under a car to work on it - unless it is a legal fee - for a title to an insurance company contested car (check web sites and your state police to validate the VIN before buying).
