That same Corvette story went through our high school back in 1964. Also WWII Army Jeeps still in the crates for only $50.
true story........ about 2 yrs ago bought a title for a 63 split window........ I collect titles. When I got it, had the DOA certificate with it on the back. Apparently the guy raced the car down the highway and lost control. That was in 1966.
Was shocked that the cert was still connected to the title. Insurance co apparently paid out.
PS Jeff good on you for finding that NOS horn. Always something better out there, if you keep your eyes open.
