      It will. Apparently the son don't share the same sentiment as it has been sitting there for quite some time. My neighbor's Ford Expedition has been sitting there for 6 years. You've enjoyed it, now have it bring joy to another. Take the Money and Run otherwise put 40 Grand into restoring it. Otherwise don't show it if you're not going to sell it!

      A split barn find in 20 years, he’s not gonna touch it. Interiors usually go anyway, sometimes if they are in average condition for a used car they are kept, but most of the time they are replaced, the car is not matching numbers so there’s no point in saving it’s engine. If it can be fixed, great, if it can’t, it’s no big deal. That car is waiting to be bought and restored, but Mike and Frank just don’t have the time or money to do it.

I wish someone could explain to me why you would have such an amazing car and just let it sit. Share it with the world. Frank wanted to use it as a daily driver which would have been amazing. Take it out and show it off. In 40 years it will probably be in a barn roached out without 10 more miles on it.

    My friend Rick's step-father has a 1953 Corvette that was passed down from his father. The car has been garaged for 25+ year's and it still has original paint that looks like it just came off the assembly line. There's less than 20K miles on it and has been featured in a couple magazine's. The car is immaculately beautiful.

    • @stevepoulson5867

      It's because they only made the split window for one year, after that, they switched back to a single window, because people couldn't see well out of it. That's why it's so desirable, not many out there.

    1975 my dads colleague told him he had an old Vette that he wanted to sell. My brother was 16 I was 15. The price was $1500. The goal was to buy the car, get it running and driving. Then sell it and use the proceeds to buy us both cars. We went and looked at the car parked in a garage. It had been sitting and was covered with junk and dust. All 4 wheels were locked up and it had been in a minor accident. But it was all there. As I recalled it was a 63 or 64. We ended up passing on it and of course years later they are worth big money.

      20 k and 41k. Total 61k... Still too low.. even with a one year newer motor..
      That car would fetch 80 to 100 k

      41k is not an insult, if he said 30K yes that is insulting. Not everyday someone walks in and offers you 41k cash for something that sat for decades and needs 25k worth of work. I understand the guy not selling it, but the offer was fine based on how the car presents itself.

    I don't know if this is just made up drama for a tv show, but I've seen 63's with not running that went in the 50's. This car is easily worth 100k. If he wants to sell it he can, for a real price, not on a tv show for peanuts.

      TODAY, not a decade ago, prices on American muscle cars have gone back to the early eighties.............for SHOWROOM examples. Corvettes are probably an exception as they usually weren't driven like McQueen in Bullet: IROCS, Camaros, Chevelles" lot of parts..........in the wrecking yards......as they were wrapped around telephone poles. IF you could buy this car for 40 dad could put another 10 as we know our uphostelry, body, glass, chrome, and other shops, while OUR SHOP would do the DRIVETRAIN, so basiclly no cost for us on the mechanical. NOW you have a car. DEAL with selfl appointed wannabes on body and you'll cause more damage than improvement. It's 'worth" forty grand IF YOU HAVE A SHOP and DO YOUR OWN WORK. if not, you need to but it for 25 "kash" NOW, TODAY. not twenty years ago prices.

    You can't buy a running driving split window with nice paint and interior in a 4 speed with option engine even non matching for less than 85-90k
    Those offers are insulting.. 40k will buy you a low horsepower 64 or 65 roadster with bad paint.
