    I always wanted a '53-'54 Corvette. I owned a '63 Stingray convertible which I loved, but this model would have been exciting to own! I just checked with Texas and CA DMV database last year. I have owned 107 vehicles in my lifetime. My dad taught me to be a horse-trader! He owned a couple of dealership car lots. This is a sweetheart. I wish I had the money and facilities to go at it again. That's the problem with getting old and having to watch closely what you spend. Thanks for posting this video! Somebody is going to love every minute of rebuilding this...

    Hi. A very long time ago ... 1968 in fact ,l was 15years old. I was waiting for my bus when the local scrap dealer who l knew well pulled up in a '54 Corvette. I can tell you this was a very rare sight in England. He offered it to me for £100. 00p! Well l didn't have that kind of money so l turned it down. I regretted it then and still do to this day. Seeing this video has reawakened those moments. Thankyou.

    1st 10 years or so body styles were the best. Today’s Corvette body style is what I refer to as “Euro-trash” look! GM put out a 56 body style with today’s mechanics in it, bet they’d sell the heck out of em!

    My father bought a first year Vette, I think 52 1/2. The top leaked and the trans went bad within 6 months. He said it was a total POS. He actually saved the brochure and sold that 40 years later for big money.

    Matt & Co. another great video, its comforting to know these cars will now have the chance to run again, be part of our great car hobby, I sort of agree with one of your followers comments about hoarding these cars, this hobby is for everyone, not just for the rich...I just can't understand why Larry did nothing with these cars over the years....well, hope & Pray that Larry is in a better place now, by the way, I bet you will be dragging that fenderless Model A home????.....Build on Dudes!!

    Hi Mike
    HI Matt,
    Sorry i missed your show yesterday,
    Great episode! I used to work for a Corvette shop in phoenix (Corvette restoration) helped build a 53 super rare
    white/red car. Was really good memories. Also helped with a 54 blue car. Really allot of detail in those NCRS spec
    built cars.
    This guy must have been loaded! He had allot of stuff! 32s, 34s, chopped merc,hotrod trucks. What an awesome
    adventure!
    Keep it up guys!
    Like to see what the next 20/20 looks like!

    Way back in the middle 60's my wife and I went to a lot of farm sales looking for old car parts. I found a white 1954 Vette in a barn. A real barn and real barn find!
    Could have owned it for under $2500. Back then that was a lot of money, we had a baby, and the clear coat was cracked, looking like a jig saw puzzle. At the time, I thought the car was falling apart so passed.
    Still, I'd sold it long ago before they were worth much more.

    ive watched you guys move and load several cars, someone should have told you to invest in a set of wheel dollys, they have several kinds from those that roll on casters for smooth garage floors to some with larger wheels to move cars like you guys are doing, just jack the car up and position the wheels in the dollys and have at it, no need to even air up the tires if you choose not too. makes it tons easier, also easier to hook up your chain or strap if you use the old wrecker hooks, two hooks on chains with a single chain at the other end. only suggesting this from years and years of towing on flat trailers and my race car hauler, hauled everything from rebuild-able ins salvage to race cars to hot shot loads.

    In the late 1960s I was working for a good friend in his wrecking yard. We got a call for several junk cars. One was a 1953 or 1954 corvette. It had been wrecked in the front and the engine and trans were gone. My friend didn't want it because the car had little collector value at that time and He was more interested in scrap metal.

The original hubcaps are $400 each. I sold a set a couple of years back. Steering wheel $500 and it goes on. I had a 54 Corvette kitcar that I was going to turn into a 54 Corvair Fastback and bought parts for 10 years. Sold everything 3 or 4 years back.

    Well Matt, even with Chevy stuff you can still pick out a good flathead. Great job and good luck

    A lot of nice stuff there I'm sure you'll still be surprised at what you did out over there. I thought 53's came with a blue flame 6 in 54 you could get a 265 V8? I don't know I guess I should look it up like I could very well be wrong.

    • @IronTrapGarage

      The 54 still had a 6 but this car was swapped early on

    Why does the description say Blue Flame V6?? I thought I missed something in Corvette history for a second. Lol. This was an amazing reveal. I think you could have sold tickets to it. I know I would have bought one. It's better than the burried Chrysler in the time capsule. Thanks for sharing.

      No I just made a mistake. Should have said inline 6. Just corrected it!! Thanks!! -Mike/ITG

      @@IronTrapGarage I figured as much, but you had me going for a second. Lol. We had an Edsel Roundup that was similar circumstances. Had been packed away for over 50 years but was cherry under all the dirt. Was still an A title with the original bill of sale. These kind of events are really exciting. It's like opening an Egyptian tomb sometime. The best one I did was driving a 56 Packard right out of the garage after 50 years. In only had to go 10 miles but our goal was to have drive out the way it went in. At the time, I never thought of video recording this stuff. Would really like to meet you guys sometime to share stories and pictures with you. Thanks again for posting. The Edsel is in my videos if you want to see it. A gentleman from the Edsel club now owns it and very proudly. It has the right owner now. Thanks again.

      Yea documenting this stuff is really a big part of the entire story of saving these cars and restoring. It will be neat for the new owners to have these videos to share with the car when all done!

    Now all you need is about $80,000 and 2-5 years to make it right and wale on that inline 6 hopefully it sees the road again finished and not on another tilt and load .
